Operating The C com opti
SETTING UP THE C com opti
Setting up your C com opti is a simple procedure, which takes only a few minutes. There are many ways to inter-
face the C com opti with various recording or live sound set-ups, so take some time to decide which audio
devices you want to connect. The following section shows a simple set-up for a recording situation with a C com
opti connected to a mixer’s insert points to compress an individual track, in this case a lead vocal.
Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and plug the provided AC adapter in
to the rear AC power inlet, but don’t plug the power pack into a wall outlet just yet. You can use the C com opti in
line with the output of a mixer or recorder, or in a send and return insert-point which is typically found on input
and output channels of mid to larger mixers. For detailed wiring diagrams see page 13 of this manual.
Follow the next few steps described in the section below to begin to use your C com opti.
• Using standard 1/4-inch insert cables, connect the mixer’s SEND to the to the C com 16’s INPUT and the
mixer’s RETURN to the C com opti’s OUTPUT.
• Plug the C com opti power pack into a wall outlet and switch the unit on by pressing the power switch.
• Next, turn on your mixer and monitor system, but keep the listening level low until you become more
familiar with your new processor.
• Set the controls to the following default positions:
