FUNCTION SWITCHES

Sidechain:

Routes external sidechain input signal to the detector.

 

OverEasy®:

Activates the OverEasy‚ compression function.

 

Auto:

Activates automatic program-dependent attack and release times,

 

disabling the manual attack and release controls.

 

PeakStopPlus®:

Activates the Intelligent Predictive Limiting® (Stage 2) section of the limiter.

Bypass:

Activates the direct input-to-output hard-wire relay bypass. Relay

 

automatically hard-wire bypasses unit at power-down and provides a

 

power-on delay of 1.5 seconds.

 

Input:

Monitors the input signal and shows its level on the VU meter.

Peak

 

indicator lights for signals >+21dBu.

 

Output:

Monitors the output signal and shows its level on the VU meter.

Peak

 

indicator lights for signals >+21dBu.

 

GR:

Monitors the compressor and PeakStopPlus limiter and displays the

 

total amount of gain reduction on the lower scale of the VU meter.

Pin 1 Lift (Rear Panel)

Lifts pin 1 of the input XLR and 1/4” sleeve from chassis ground.

INDICATORS

Compressor Threshold Meter:

3

LED indicators at Below, OverEasy®, and Above.

Sidechain:

1

LED to indicate when external sidechain is selected.

Auto:

1

LED to indicate when Auto mode is selected.

PeakStopPlus®:

1

Bi-Color LED. When PeakStopPlus® function is not engaged, the

 

LED will be off when signal is below Stop Level threshold, and will

 

light redwhen signal is above threshold. When PeakStopPlus®

 

functionis engaged, the LED will be green when signal is below Stop

 

Level threshold, and will turn red when signal is above threshold.

Bypass:

1

LED to indicate when 162SL is bypassed.

Input/Output/GR

3

LEDs to indicate which meter mode is selected. Green for input

POWER SUPPLY

level, yellow for output level, and red for gain reduction.
