Important advice for connection to digital
recording systems:
Each unit connected to the Transient Designer should be able
to handle high input levels. With maximum ATTACK values the
instantaneous input level can increase by up to +15 dB. For this
reason it is recommended to connect the Transient Designer to
an analogue mixing console, because these generally have
enough headroom to process peak levels of more than 15 dB
without clipping. However, it is imperative to check the input
levels of the mixer and any clip monitor LEDs at the channel
inserts.
If the Transient Designer is connected directly to a ProTools 888
interface, a Yamaha O2R mixer or similar units with internal A/D-
converter, ATTACK values of about +6 dB may overload the
converters. In such cases reduce the Input Gain of these systems
to provide adequate headroom to accommodate the enhanced
transients.
