Operators Manual
Operating the
G2
Operation of the
G2
is very straightforward, but there are a few points worth noting
which, once understood, will make using the unit even easier.
Switching the unit on and start-up procedure
After plugging in the power and switching the power on using the rear panel switch,
confirmation is quickly given that all is well by various status LEDs illuminating almost
immediately after power-up. These will include, as a minimum,
MODE
(Gate/Expand); and Sidechain EQ Type (Wide/Narrow ‘Q’).
The gain reduction will animate and, after the bypass relays disengage, begin to ‘count
down’ accompanied by the output level fading up to normal operating level.
The entire process is complete when the input/output meters and gain reduction
begin to operate normally. This whole start-up procedure only takes a few seconds.
Press-and-hold Keys
The legending on the front panel alerts the user to
the fact that several keys require a ‘press and hold’
action to initiate them. These keys relate to
functions that could accidentally introduce large
changes of level at the outputs, causing undesirable
effects and possible damage. These keys have their
function marked in
BOLD
(and a different font) to
make it clear that they will only change state if the
key is held in for a time.
The keys in question are…
MODE
– switching between gate mode and expand mode (See page 25)
LISTEN
– switching the output to monitor the sidechain EQ signal (See page 19)
STEREO
– linking the two channels together to operate in stereo (See page 25)
Minimum and maximum control positions
To ensure that the
G2
is 100%
accurate all of the time, and that what
it says on the front panel is exactly
what the unit is doing, it has been
necessary to introduce ‘end-stops’ on
the controls.
The extreme regions on each control
marked with the curved line designate
this entire region as relating to the parameter value shown. This is to compensate for
the mechanical tolerances of the potentiometers.
