Insertion Points.
The insertion points are interfaced via a 3 pin, 0.25” switched jack socket on the rear
of the unit. The pin connections are:
- Sleeve = Ground,
- Tip = Send,
- Ring = Return.
The insertion point is unbalanced, and operates at a nominal level of -2dBu . If used
as an additional send only (e.g. as a send to a tape machine or monitor mixing desk),
the Tip and Ring should be wired together, to preserve the signal path through the
insertion point. When used in this manner, the send will be post-compressor.
Balanced Outputs.
The output is via a balanced, 3 pin male XLR connector. The mating connector
should be wired as follows:
- Pin 1 = Ground (screen),
- Pin 2 = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
- Pin 3 = Signal Non-Phase (“-” or “cold”).
Unbalanced Outputs.
An unbalanced line output is provided for each channel, on a 0.25” mono jack socket.
- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”).
- Screen = Ground.
Mounting.
The compressor may be free standing, or mounted in a standard 19” rack.
Do not locate the unit where it will be subject to external heating, for example in the
hot air flow from a power amplifier, or on a radiator.
