ON
The ON button inserts the equalizer/FET distortion module into the signal path. Under normal
circumstances the input signal comes from the compressor. With the EQ PRE COMP. button
the equalizer can be switched in before the compressor so that the input signal is received
from the de-esser or insert.
IMPORTANT: To avoid irritations at the beginning of a recording it is recommended to deacti-
vate the equalizer/FET distortion module. If not, tonal changes could occur immediately and
furthermore, in the case of the DISTORTION control, additional distortions.
EQ PRE COMP.
The EQ PRE COMP. switch reverses the sequence of compressor/limiter and equalizer (EQ).
When the switch is pressed the equalizer operates in front of the compressor/limiter; when
not pressed the succession remains unchanged. This function permits very flexible operation
with the Channel One when it is necessary to resolve recurring problems or to create special
sounds.
The following examples describe when the equalizer is to be switched in front of the
compressor/limiter.
When over-accentuation of instruments or voices is registered within certain frequency
ranges these ranges can first be reduced with the EQ. The signal can subsequently be
compressed more easily.
A further sensible application is the use of the compressor module as a final limiter to main-
tain a stable output level. If the EQ was to be used again after limiting it could not be guaran-
teed that the output level would not alter.
