User manual PEAVEY KOSMOS V2

[. . . ] A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ] Dynamic source tracking yields tight, clean bass sounds · subharmonic activity indicator shows processing status · A specially tuned low frequency circuit, compliments the subharmonics and can be used to fatten the low end · Internal 90 Hz crossover signal can be removed from the subwoofer output when used as a side-chain effect · Master output level controls left, right, and subwoofer output levels simultaneously · Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment Connecting your Kosmos® II in your signal chain: Direct: Insert Kosmos® v2 between the output of the mixer and the input of the power amp As An Effect: Create an effects loop between your mixer and Kosmos® v2 by connecting an Aux send from your mixer into the Kosmos® v2, and return the signal to your mixer through an aux return or channel strip input. The status is indicated by a red lamp, which lights when the unit is off-line. Because the system bypass switch circumvents the internal circuitry, it functions even when no power is applied to the unit. Subharmonics This control adds a synthesized phase synced bass signal one octave lower than what is present in the source. the adjacent LED indicates sub bass activity. This feature generates bass subharmonics that would register on a seismograph, yet are pleasing to the ear. No processing occurs when the input signal is outside the defined range. This thickens and deepens the bass of most program material without clouding the midrange, and is especially effective on bass drums. Consequently, speaker systems seem larger and more defined. Since low frequencies can be boosted significantly, care must be taken to prevent amplifier clipping and speaker damage by excessive bass levels. Low Damping Perfect for acoustic and bass guitars, this switch loosens the tracking, allowing the subharmonics to ring out with less damping. (Normally, the subharmonics tightly follow the envelope of the input bass signal, resulting in a sharp, clean bass, which works best for kick drums and other percussive sounds. ) Lower damping has a lower peak value, but can have a higher average level (depending on the source), so the level of the subharmonics may need to be reduced. Low Freq This control adds a specific band of bass frequencies (natural, not synthesized) to the bass enhancement mix. It is voiced to compliment the subharmonics and is used to even out the low end balance. This control can be considered as a waveform adjustment tool when used in conjunction with the subharmonic level control, or used alone for bass boost. It has been designed to pull vocals more to the front of the mix while giving them a three dimensional quality. output Level This is the master volume control of the Kosmos® v2 processor. The left, right, and subwoofer outputs are affected simultaneously. Cut Sub Bass From Mains This switch removes the subharmonics and the low frequency effects from the main left and right outputs. [. . . ] Mono This switch converts the Kosmos® v2 to monophonic operation by selecting the left/mono input jack as the source and routing it to both the left and right signal paths internally. The right input jacks are disabled in this mode. Both the left and right outputs function, with only the high frequency stereo circuitry causing a difference between them. When the unit is used as an insert effect, the switch should be set to mono to operate properly. [. . . ]
