Solid State Logic 82S6MC060A manual Output Section

Detailed Parameter Description
RANGE: Determines the depth of gating or expansion. When
turned fully anticlockwise (Range = 0), this section is inactive.
When turn ed fully clockwi se, a range of 40dB			can be
obtained.
THRESHOLD: A Variable hysteresis is incorporated in the
threshold circuitry. For any given ‘open’ setting, the
Expander/Gate will have a lower		‘close’ threshol d. The
hysteresis value is increased as the threshold is lowered. This
is very useful in music recording as it allows instruments to
decay below the open threshold before gating or expansion
takes place.			(spe ed),
RELEASE: This determines t he tim e constant
variable from 0.1 to 4 se conds, at which the Gate/Expander
reduces the signal level once it has passed below the threshold.
Note that this control interacts with the Range control.
FAST ATT: Prov ides a fast at tack tim e (100μs per 40db).
When off, a controlled linear attack time of 1.5ms per 40dB is
selected. T he attack time	is t he ti me taken for the
Expander/Gate to ‘recover’ once the signal level is above the
threshold. When gating signals with a steep rising edge, such
as d rums, a s low a ttack may effecti		vely mask	the i nitial
‘Thwack’, so you should be aware of this when selecting the
appropriate attack time.		he signal has dec ayed
HOLD: Determines the time after t

below the threshold before the gate closes. Variable from 0 to 4 seconds.

Note tha t wh en the Dy namics S ection is no t in c ircuit, its sidechain input is also bypassed.

Output Section

The Output Section consists of a ±20dB output gain control, and a 6-segment LED meter.

S/C LISTEN: Pressing the SC LISTEN switch routes the sidechain directly to t he output, so you c an moni tor th e sidechain signal

BYPASS ALL: Engaging this button will bypass all channel processing whilst still routing the signal through Duende. This avoids the time shift which occurs when a ‘hard’ by pass is done using the default DAW control, allowing for easier A/B comparison between processed and unprocessed signals.
