RackPack: Transient Designer
13
Signal LED, Overload LED
Control Elements
Since the modules are configured as master or slave with the dip
switches on the circuit board, you have to decide upon their placement
within the RackPack before you install them. It is customary that the
left module serves as master and the right module serves as the slave.
If two properly connected modules can not be run in LINK mode,
chances are that the dip switches are in the wrong position. The
switches in both modules could be in the same position for example
(upon delivery the switches of all modules are set to activate the mod-
ule’s master mode).
Check the position of the dip switches on both modules and change
them according to the configuring information on page 12.
Signal LED
The SIG. LED indicates that an audio signal reaches the input with a
level above -20 dB. This LED helps the operator especially in complex
setups to determine immediately whether the Transient Designer actu-
ally receives any signal.
Overload LED
The OVL LED indicates a potential internal overload. It begins indicat-
ing approximately 3 dB ahead of any expected overload to leave head-
room for peak levels.
Overloads must be avoided to exclude audible distortions.
The gain-
ing is still perfect in most cases when the OVL LED is illuminating
shortly since there’s still a headroom of 3 dB for peak levels.
Permanent illumination of the OVL LED indicates overloads with possi-
ble audible distortions. Reduce the Output Gain control if the OVL LED
illuminates permanently until the OVL LED goes out or flashes shortly.
