Module Section Controls
• Module Knob:
The Module knob selects the module being controlled by the panel.
Turning the knob clockwise increases the module number, turning it counterclockwise
decreases the module number.
Selecting an Input module by pressing its
Select
button automatically selects that
module on the dynamics controller. Only one module may be selected at a time.
• Chan and Mix Buttons:
Used to select which Input module path has dynamics.
Pressing
Chan
assigns the compressor/limiter and gate to the Chan path, pressing
Mix
assigns them to the Mix path.
• Bypass Button:
The Bypass button bypasses both the compressor/limiter and the
gate sections of the currently selected module path. The compressor/limiter and gate
On/Off settings remain intact during bypass.
Bypass is useful for comparing the original signal to the gated and/or compressed
signal.
• Gate On Button:
Toggles the Gate section of currently selected dynamics module On
and Off. When the button LED is On, the gate parameters are in effect. Gate
parameters are retained when the gate is off.
• C/L On Button:
Toggles the compressor/limiter section of currently selected
dynamics module On and Off. When the button LED is On, the C/L parameters are in
effect. C/L parameters are retained when the compressor/limiter is off.
• Bypass All Gates Button:
Bypass All Gates
bypasses all gates on the console.
When the
Gates
LED is on, all gates are bypassed. All On/Off and gate parameters are
retained when
Bypass All Gates
is in effect.
• Bypass All C/Ls Button:
Bypass All C/Ls
bypasses all compressor/limiters on the
console. When the
C/Ls
LED is on, all compressor/limiters are bypassed. All On/Off
and compressor/limiter parameters are retained when
Bypass All C/Ls
is in effect.
• Meter Chan Button:
The
Meter Chan
button does not function with Status
Dynamics.
Even though a module’s dynamics can be assigned to either the Mix or Chan path, the
module’s dynamics hardware is physically installed on the Mix path. Pressing the
Mix
Meter button displays gain reduction metering for all paths whether assigned to the Mix
or Chan path.
• Meter Mix Button:
Pressing the
Mix
Meter button displays Mix and Chan path gain
reduction on the console’s Level and Status display.
When gain reduction metering is in effect, the Level and Status display’s 0, +4, and +8
LEDs are constantly lit and gain reduction is metered downward from the 0 LED.
