and the RATIO (13) control low (fully counterclockwise). This is a very low compression setting. To increase the amount of compression, lower the THRESHOLD (12) control and increase the RATIO (13) control until the desired amount is achieved.

Connects to tip SEND

Connects to ring RETURN

USING THE SIDE CHAIN (19)

To use the SIDE CHAIN (19) to directly access the compressor circuitry you'll need an insert cable like the one shown above. The Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo end plugs into the TMP-3 SIDE CHAIN lack. The 1/4" SEND plug connects to the Input of a signal

processor such as an equalizer, the 1/4" RETURN plug connects to the signal processor Output. The signal in the SIDE CHAIN is not heard on the Output of the TMP-3, it only effects the action of the compressor. The higher the level of signal in the SIDE CHAIN, the more compression will occur.

EQUALIZER SETTINGS (7,8,9,10)

Begin with all controls set at 0 or center detente position. This is the equivalent of a "bypass". Adjusting the LEVEL (15) controls will increase or decrease the amount of the indicated frequency range. The MID SWEEP (9) control adjusts the actual frequency that the MID LEVEL (8) control will adjust.

USING THE PROCESSES TOGETHER

Increasing the Mic Preamp GAIN settings to the point where slight distortion occurs will effect the overall frequency content of the output signal. EQ adjustments may need to be made. Experiment with different settings until you've achieved the desired sound.
