Page 4: Overview
– use this mode when more subtle compression or limiting is required. The 560A is well suited for live sound or studio use and can be used to add punch to drums, add sustain to bass and guitar lines, control vocal level fluctuations, or control any other mono source which has excessive dynamic range or peaks. When recording, the 560A can be used to effectively control peaks during the tracking stage or for compressing/limiting signals during the mixing stage. -
Page 5: Installation
Align and slide the module into the 500 series chassis, ensuring the connectors on the back properly seat with the connectors in the chassis. Install the included screws to secure the 560A to the chassis. Both metric and standard screws are included. Use the correct screw type for your chassis. -
Page 6: The User Interface
When disengaged, the 560A will operate as a hard knee compressor/ limiter – meaning the transition between compression and non-compression is sharp or abrupt. This mode works well when a more aggressively compressed signal is required. - Page 7 Engage the BYPASS button to bypass the 560A processor. The BYPASS LED will light when the processor is bypassed. The 560A is designed with a hardwire bypass – meaning when bypassed, the signal passes straight from the input jack directly to the output jack, without going through any of the 560A’s circuitry. Bypass mode is especially useful for making comparisons between the processed and unprocessed signals.
