Klark Teknik DN500 Applications Interfacingwithaconsole, Channel Insert Point, Group Insert Point

Applications:Interfacingwithaconsole￿￿￿￿

The Klark Teknik DN500 Plus Dual Compressor/Limiter/Expander is optimised for use at line level, therefore to process the signal from a microphone, the input to the DN500 Plus has to be taken from the console preferably from the channel insert point send. The output from the DN500 Plus comes back to the channel insert return. By connecting the DN500 Plus at this position in the signal chain, its operation is unaffected by the use of any of the console controls, except Input Gain.

An alternative is connection to the group insert point of the console.

Input

This connection has two uses : the input from the microphone may be compressed post EQ, which offers an alternative sound quality which may be desirable in some cases. Alternatively, several instruments may be compressed together in the mix to achieve a 'harder' sound.
