To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full performance. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE: Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit. Connections can be made with balanced/unbalanced jack or XLR-cables. Please only use good quality cables to minimize noise and interference. A compressor/limiter can be connected in two ways: - To the output of a mixer: the complete audio signal will processed (mastering, protection, . BALANCED OUTPUTS: can be used with XLR or JACK cables, both can be used with balanced or unbalanced wiring (see chapter "connections" for more information) 14. INPUT LEVEL ADJUST: use a SMALL screwdriver to adjust the input of the unit to the desired level. BALANCED INPUTS: can be used with XLR or JACK cables, both can be used with balanced or unbalanced wiring (see chapter "connections" for more information) For more information on connections, please refer to the next chapter. Please remind that limiter/compressors are some of the most beloved signal processors but also potentially the most harmful. In the hands of an artist, a compressor can be used to carve out a beautiful sonic sculpture, but in the hands of a novice it can completely ruin the music. So please experiment and read a lot about their possibilities before you start using them, on the internet you can find a lot of fine articles. Maybe it's a good idea to briefly explain the different parameters that can be adjusted before we explain how this unit should be used. We will also give a short idea about the difference between a limiter and a compressor. THE DIFFERENT PARAMETERS EXPLAINED Threshold level (Display = "CompThre" or "LimitThr): This is the level (usually measured in decibels "dB") at which the automatic volume reduction starts. anything below that volume will result in no compression. When the input goes above the threshold level, the compressor reduces the volume automatically to keep the signal from getting louder. [. . . ] Therefore it's often used in radio studios. a limiter "limits" the input signal as soon as it reaches the threshold level. Therefore limiters are often used to reduce peaks and protect your equipment (loudspeakers) You can browse the 2 options: Input: LED signal meter (1) shows the levels of the music at the input of the unit. Output: LED signal meter (1) shows the levels of the music at the output of the unit. [. . . ]
