The control

elements of the

STEREO VITALIZER®

The VITALIZER ACTIVE function switches the STEREO VITALIZER on or off. The 1 Vitalizer

status LED indicates that the STEREO VITALIZER has been activated.

Active

The VITALIZER ACTIVE function is a relais-hard-bypass function. In the event of a power failure the STEREO VITALIZER is automatically switched to hard- bypass (power failure safety).

To increase the operational safety of the monitor loudspeakers you should not switch the STEREO VITALIZER on or off at high monitor volume. At high amplitudes inside the filter, there may be residual charges on the swit- ching contacts which may be discharged when you switch over. These may become apparent as audible click sounds. If applicable, reduce or mute the monitor loudspeakers before switching on or off.

The input stages of the STEREO VITALIZER are equipped with PEAK LEDs

Peak

 

which light up around 3 dB before the effect signal path is potentially over-

 

 

 

 

 

driven. Make sure that the PEAK LEDs only light up briefly, if at all. It is

 

 

 

 

 

essential to avoid the PEAK LEDs being lit up for any length of time. If they

 

 

 

 

 

do so, reduce the input level or switch from LOW to HIGH on the rear of the

 

 

 

 

 

unit.

 

 

 

 

 

The BASS control is responsible for the »colour« of the bass sound your

Bass

 

signal is to have. If you move the BASS control to the right, you get a drier,

 

 

percussive bass sound, known as TIGHT. As a result of this, on the right-

 

 

 

 

 

hand side of the scaling points, there are squares which increase in size, in

 

 

 

 

 

line with increased intensity. They symbolize the contoured »TIGHT« bass

 

 

 

 

 

sound.

 

 

 

 

 

If the BASS control is moved from the centre position (0) to the left, the

 

 

 

 

 

bass sound becomes very deep, soft and warm. This sound is known as

 

 

 

 

 

SOFT. This is symbolized with round scaling points which also increase in

 

 

 

 

 

size as the intensity increases.

 

 

 

 

 

The further the BASS control is shifted to the right or left of the centre

 

 

 

 

 

position, the more intensive the bass sound in question. However, PROCESS

 

 

 

 

 

must be positioned to the right of the MIN setting for the bass to be

 

 

 

 

 

audible.

 

 

 

 

 

You can always hear the original (dry) bass if the BASS control is in a

 

 

 

 

 

centre position.
