1.3 HOOKING UP POWER
Hooking up power involves the rear panel power jack and front panel
Power jack Plug the AC adapter output in here. Use only the AC adapter supplied with the 3630; use of any other AC adapter will void your warranty. To prolong the AC adapter's life, unplug it when not in use (turning the 3630's power switch to off is not sufficient to discon- nect the AC adapter from AC power). Alesis recommends plugging your
On/Off switch Press in to turn on. Press again (switch goes to the out position) to turn off.
1.4FRONT PANEL COMPRESSOR/ LIMITER CONTROLS
(front panel diagram inserts here)
The front panel controls for the two compressor/limiter channels are identical. The Channel A controls are located between the power switch and Stereo Link switch in the middle of the panel. The Channel B controls are located to the right of the Stereo Link switch. The Stereo Link switch controls whether the two channels will operate as a stereo limiter or two mono limiters, as described in section 1.5.
Since both channel controls operate identically, only the left channel controls will be described.
Important: If you are not familiar with compressors, limiters, and noise gates, refer to the Appendix. It contains theory necessary to understand the following control descriptions.
