Each channel of the DN500 Plus has two Side Chain inputs, one for the Compressor and one for the Expander.
In normal use, the amount of compression or expansion is related to the dynamics of the input signal. The Side Chain allows the signal passing through the unit to be controlled by the dynamics of another separate signal.
Connection to the Side Chain input is made via the rear panel jack sockets. See 'Audio Connections', page 12.
