ROUTING MODE switch

Selects between the following routing modes:

Dual Mono routing mode

The two engines operate 100% individually and
can be perceived as two separate mono units.

Stereo/Serial routing mode

This mode can be used for several different
application setups:

Serial mono:
By using only the Left input/Left output, C400XL
operates as two mono blocks in serial.

Serial Stereo:
Connecting a stereo signal on Left/Right inputs
the two engines can be used a two stereo
devices in serial.

Stereo:
Engine 2 is bypassed by setting MIX to
“bypass” (fully counter-clockwise) and Engine 1
is used as a stereo effect. Only one engine is
applied.

The following descriptions of controls are
valid for both Engines 1 and 2.

PRESET selector

Use the PRESET selector to select the desired
source preset for Engine 1.

METERS

I/P dB:
Input meter showing the signal present on the
input. Analog or digital. Meters indicate dBFS.

Damp meter:
Indicates the attenuation of the signal in dB.

THRESH LED (Threshold LED)

In presets using Multi-band compression:
The LED can indicate two scenarios.
a) When the input signal level exceeds the set

threshold.

b) When the input signal triggers the Peak

Limiter.

In presets using Gate/Expander mode:
LED on = signal above threshold
LED off = signal below threshold

PEAK

The PEAK LED can indicate various types of
overload.

LED will be on if:
1. The incoming digital or analog signal is too

hot. Reduce the source signal.

2. Internal overload in the digital domain. This

situation occurs if the applied make up gain
is set too high. This situation should not
occur under normal working conditions.

THRESHOLD

Sets the threshold for the selected preset. The
threshold should be set according to the level
of the processed signal. The lower the
threshold is set, the earlier the processing is
applied.

RATIO

Sets the ratio for the selected engine preset.

MAKEUP / RELEASE

For compression presets this control sets the
make-up gain. The release times are
predefined in the presets.

For Gate/Expander presets this control sets the
release time.
