Features and Controls
The LEVELIZA has two independent channels, and each channel has just three controls.
•
The first control is "input gain" that can be used if desired to manually attenuate the input.
•
The second control is to set the "threshold" for the desired maximum output level.
•
The third control is the "assertiveness". This control would usually be set to minimum in
normal use, in which case the unit will consider the average perceived volume levels over a
few minutes and try to work at an inaudible rate to correct the levels as necessary. On
occasions where the threshold level is being set/ascertained/calibrated, or if large
fluctuations in level between different music sources are expected, the assertiveness can be
turned up high and the unit will work much faster to maintain the correct perceived volume
levels. The engineer also has the flexibility to choose a level of assertiveness in between if it
is considered beneficial to a particular application.
In addition to its normal subtle operation the LEVELIZA will automatically work much faster for an
"emergency response" in cases where the music is suddenly turned up considerably over threshold.
It really is designed with the purpose of continuously managing the perceived volume levels just the
same as a good human engineer would.
There are two displays, one for each channel, and they simply indicates the approximate db of gain
reduction that is currently being applied to that channel.
TAMPER PROOF:- Also, for applications where the engineer does not want the threshold level to be
increased there are additional hidden tamperproof adjustments that can be set to limit the
maximum output threshold.
Connections
Mains power is connected via a standard IEC cable into the rear of the unit.
Audio inputs - there is an XLR input for each of the unit's two channels. The unit is designed to
operate at standard "line" levels.
Audio outputs - there is an XLR output for each of the unit's two channels.
