NOTE:
These
specific
application set-ups
are
intended
as
a
starting
point
for integra-
tion
of
the
Co-Operator
into
your
system. Actual
set-ups will
vary with experience
and
experimentation.
There
are also
many
other
production
applications
which by
their
nature
do
not lend themselves
to
a
chart-like
presentation
of
recommended
settings.
In these
applications,
experience
and
experimentation
are the best guides.
Audio Tape Recorder
Because
applications are
so
diversified,
each
with special
needs,
no
generalized
set-
tings
can be
recommended. Read
"More About Co-Operator Audio
Processing"
on
page
3-8.
The
table
on page
3-10 suggests
appropriate
pre-emphasis
for
various
recording
speeds.
STL
Protection
Assumes
that
only safety
and
high-frequency
limiting
are
wanted.
If
leveling
is
also
desired,
use
"Broadcast Transmission"
settings.

More

be
obtained
by
reducing bias voltage
on
the
clipper
with
internal
trimmer
R2
to
produce
more
clipping
(see step
5 on page
2-10). After adjusting
the
trimmer,
advance

achieve
to
100%
modulation.
