Fig. 2.1: Control elements on the front panel
(1) CLIP: This LED is constantly lit when the input level is too high. If it lights
up for a short period of time it is warning you of an impending overdrive.
There is a safety headroom of 3 dBu before the signal becomes distorted.
The LED should not light up.
(2) LEDs: The four LEDs display the output level in 10 dBu steps.
Regular illumination of the 0 dBu LED indicates an optimal output level.
(3) PROCESS: With this control the portion of high-frequency signals to be
processed by the SU9920 is specified. The MAX setting corresponds to a level
boost of +12 dbU at 5 kHz.
(4) LOW CONTOUR: This control adjusts the portion of low-frequency signals to
be processed by the SU9920. The MAX setting corresponds to a level boost of
+12 dbU at 50 kHz.

For connection to the mains use the enclosed power cord with cold connector
which complies with the relevant safety regulations.
◊
Please make sure that all devices are properly grounded. For your own
safety, never remove or disable the ground conductors from the devices
or on the power cords. The unit must always be connected to the mains
outlet with a protective grounding connection.
◊ The tone quality may diminish within the range of powerful radio
broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the
distance between the transmitter and the unit, and use shielded cables
for all connections.
