Input and Output Level Considerations
The Input and Output levels of the CLP160 can be adjusted by a couple of
Analog Potentiometers.
Due to the fact that the potentiometers are operating in the analog domain,
before the A/D converter ( Input Level) and after the D/A converter (Output
Level) there is not an absolute and fixed relation between the Input and Output
Levels and the levels in front of the A/D and after the D/A converters.
Need therefore to provide the user some "Absolute" reference in terms on
Input level and Output level, in order to clarify first what are the Max Absolute
Input level, which cannot be exceeded without getting an Op-Amp clip, no
longer recoverable by any Digital operation.
In order to help the user in understanding clearly the following paragraphs,
need to refer to the "Input Level" and "Output Level" pictures, replicating the
Input and Output Potentiometers' grids with a more precise detail:
The figures A/B are showing in details the possible positions of the
potentiometers controlling the Analog Input and Output Level.
Referring then to the above precise divisions of the available range between the
MIN and MAX position of the potentiometers, the Max Analog Input/Output
levels can be understood, so as the can be found the proper setting for the best
use of the RMS Compressor.
