GETTING STARTED TUTORIAL
- Turn the Compressor control (11) fully counter clockwise.
This setting passes uncompressed audio thru the
compressor. Turning the compressor control clockwise
increase the amount of compression. Set the compression to
the desired level. You can turn the compression levels
up to a point where talking into the mic causes the RED
Limiting LED to come on . The Red LED coming on indicates
that additional increases in audio signal levels, into the
compressor, will result in minimal signal level increase at the
output of the compressor. Limiting of audio signal levels occur
when the Compressor is on and the internal audio signals
exceed -9db (first yellow LED on). The EQplus creates no
perceptible distortion to audio that is heavily compressed.
- The Downward Expander (12) can be used to reduce
background noise. The EQplus monitor may be used to assist
in adjustment of the Downward Expander. Connect your
stereo headsets into the rear panel 1/4” stereo Phones
connector (24). Listen to audio from the EQplus while talking
into the mic. Adjust the front panel Monitor Level control (1)
to a comfortable listening level. When you are not talking,
listen in the headsets for background noise. Turn the DE
LEVEL (Downward Expansion) control (12) clockwise. You
should hear the background noise level reduce as you turn this
control clockwise. As you continue to turn the control knob
clockwise there will be a point where the background noise will
disappear. At the point where the background noise disappears
talk into your mic to make sure you have not turned the
Downward Expander control too far. Turning the control too far
will result in choppy and or distorted audio. If the monitored
audio is choppy or distorted then turn the Downward
Expander knob counterclockwise until the audio heard is clear.
ADJUSTING THE EFFECTS
The EFFECTS PROCESSOR adjusts audio to add resonance
and ambiance. The Delay control (14) sets the time that audio
is delayed before it is mixed back into the non delayed audio.
