Page 7: Hookup
Measured in ohms, impedance is a way of expressing a circuit’s opposition to a signal attempting to pass through. Lowering or raising the ADL 700 mic-input impedance can create subtle coloring and filtering effects, enabling you to get a wider variety of tonalities without using the EQ. -

-20 dB Pad: The pad provides 20 dB of attenuation for the microphone preamp only. Power User Tip: The 20 dB pad reduces the signal level coming into your ADL 700, helping to prevent clipping and distortion from high-gain sources. Padding the input increases “headroom”... -
Page 9: Eq Controls
However, if you place the EQ before the compressor, you can better control different Deutsch frequencies, achieving a more natural response. The ADL 700 provides the flexibility to choose which signal flow is right for your application at any given time. - Page 10 ADL 700 EQ Controls Low Band Frequency: Sets the center frequency of the EQ’s low-frequency band. You can adjust the center frequency from 20 to 250 Hz. Low Band Gain: Sets the attenuation or boost of the EQ’s low band. The gain can be set between -16 and +16 dB.

Plugging a line-level source into the instrument input on the front of the ADL 700 risks damage to the circuit and is likely to produce a very loud and distorted audio signal. So don’t do that! Mic Input: The ADL 700 mic preamp works great with all types of microphones including dynamic, ribbon, and condenser microphones. - Page 13 Stereo Link function occasionally. Unless one of the units has its Threshold knob switched to the ST position, the two units will act independently. Output: The ADL 700’s output jack employs a balanced XLR connection.

Page 19: Compression Demystified
Owner’s Manual A Brief Tutorial on Dynamics Processing The world’s best mixing consoles offer compression on every channel because most instruments need some form of compression, often very subtle, to be properly heard in a mix. 3.1.2 Compression Demystified Punch, apparent loudness, presence—these are just three of the many terms used to describe the effects of compression. -
Page 20: Equalizers
Equalizers Your ADL 700 is equipped with a 4-band semi-parametric EQ. Here’s a brief explanation of how an EQ functions, as well as some charts to help you navigate the frequency ranges of various instruments so you can quickly choose the best EQ settings for your recordings and live mixes. -
Page 21: Equalization Settings: How To Find The Best And Leave The Rest
Owner’s Manual Equalizers bandwidth is also useful in boosting pleasant tones of an instrument such as the attack. Take for instance, a kick drum. A kick drum resonates somewhere between 60 to 125 Hz, but the attack of the kick drum is much higher at 2 to 5 kHz. - Page 22 ADL 700 Equalizers • Your memory is not what you think it is. Comparing a flat EQ and the curve that you’ve created allows you to see and hear exactly what you’ve done. So be honest with yourself. Sometimes that EQ setting you’ve been working on for 15 minutes is not the right choice, so move on.
