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.
