4. COMPRESSOR - Press in the COMPRES-
SOR switch and turn the main compression
controls to the following:
COMPRESSION -
THRESHOLD - full counter clockwise (-30dB)
ATTACK - full counter
RELEASE - full clockwise (Slow)
This is full compression with fast attack and
slow release. You can probably hear the com-
pressor "pumping" or "breathing". Play with
the compression controls to get a feel for the
compressor.
Leave the controls at full compression with fast
attack and fast release.
5. EQ->COMP - Press in EQUALIZER switch
(boosting 10kHz by +16dB). Press EQ->COMP
switch to insert the EQ before the compressor
in the signal path. This compresses the filtered
or "equalized" signal.
6. Press in SC->MIDS. You are now routing the
10K frequencies that were being boosted into
the compressor. This will compress the previ-
sously boosted 10kHz frequencies more than
the other frequencies. Experiment now with the
HIGH MID level control to adjust the compres-
sion at 10kHz.
Now you have full compression, with fast
attack and slow release, and frequencies at
10K going into the side chain being com-
pressed more than the overall signal.
You have now used all of the functions in the
Vt-737sp. The combinations, colors, and tones
are endless. For more details on each specific
control and fuction please refer to Chapter 4,
Operations and Controls (page 15).

3.0 Safety and Grounding

The following chapter describes how to safely
install your Vt-737sp for optimal sonic perfor-
mance.

3.1 Safety Instructions

This unit contains voltages that can cause seri-
ous injury or death. Do not operate with the
covers removed.
Improper connection of the equipment-ground-
ing cable can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt about your electrical power
or ground connection. The Vt-737sp is for use
with an AC supply as selected by the AC volt-
age selector (located within the AC inlet on the
rear of the
100-120-220-240VAC +/-0.5%, 50-60Hz at 75
watts.

3.2 Grounding Instructions

Always connect the Vt-737sp to a grounded
AC power circuit.
If the unit should malfunction or become "live",
the chassis ground will provide the path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of fatal shock.
