1: THRESHOLD: variable between -60 dBu and +15dBu. When the input level reaches the level set
by this control the gate will open and let the sound pass. When the sound level at the input stays under
the threshold, the gate will stay close. This will have the same effect as muting a channel.
2: RELEASE: variable between 20ms and 5s. When the gate is open and the input level drops again
under the threshold, the gate will close (will reach the maximum attenuation of 60dBu). With this control
you can alter how fast the gate will close.
3: EQ IN: this switches the EQ into the side chain path of the gate. As long as you do not activate the
LISTEN (4) switch, the EQ is not audible on the output of the gate and does not affect the input signal.
It is only used to fine trim the detection circuit of the gate.
4: LISTEN: this switches the side chain path of the gate to the output so that you can listen to changes
effectuated by the FREQ (5) and Q (6) potentiometers. Activating this button will remove the gate from
the signal path!
