Using Soft Limit And Push-It Circuits - Apogee Mini-Me Owner's Manual

3 (curve starts at –14 on the left axis) This shows the response curve of SLC setting Compression 3. Top switch
in far right "SLC" position, bottom switch far right in curve "3" position.
off (curve runs from the origin, bottom left, to +0/-0) Circuit bypassed. Top switch in far left "off" position.
SL (curve runs from the origin to +2/-0) This shows the response curve of Soft Limit only. Top switch in cen-
ter "SL" position. The bottom switch position is not relevant.
2 (curve starts at -25.5 on the left axis) This shows the response curve of SLC setting Compression 2. Top
switch in far right "SLC" position, bottom switch in middle curve "2" position.
1 (curve starts at the origin and exits right at about -1.5 dBFS) This shows the response curve of Soft
Limit/Limit 1 circuit. Top switch in far right "SLC" position, bottom switch in far left curve "1" position.

Using Soft Limit and Push-IT Circuits

Soft Limit and Push-IT settings are controlled by the two switches in the middle of the front panel (see front
panel diagram for location.)
Soft Limit: To turn on Soft Limit only, flip the top switch to the middle "SL" (Soft Limit) position. See the
graph above for the curve that corresponds to this setting.
Soft Limit/Limit 1: To use "Soft Limit" in conjunction with the Push-IT limiter, flip the top switch to the "SLC"
(Soft Limit and Compression) position. With the top switch in this position, the bottom switch's function will be
enabled to select one of the three available Push-IT settings. For Soft Limit/limit, set this switch to the far left
curve "1" setting. See the graph above for the curve that corresponds to this setting.
Soft Limit/Limit/Compression 2: To use the first compression setting in addition to the Soft Limit/limit cir-
cuit, set the top switch to the far right "SLC" position and the bottom switch to the center curve "2" setting.
See the graph above for the curve that corresponds to this setting.
Soft Limit/Limit/Compression 3: To use the second compression setting in addition to the Soft Limit/limit
circuit, set the top switch to the far right "SLC" setting and the bottom switch to the far right curve "3" set-
ting. See the graph above for the curve that corresponds to this setting.
Note that when the top switch is in the "SL" position, the bottom switch is disabled because Push-IT is not
active. When the top switch is in the "off" position, both circuits are bypassed. See page X? for advanced details
on adjusting the PushIT circuit.
