Summary of Contents for Phoenix Audio N90-DRC 500
- Page 1 “that sound” uniquely achievable through Class A design. As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class A discrete technology used within high build-quality equipment. The N90-DRC uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage (DSOP-2).
- Page 2 The N90- DRC (David Rees Compressor) Compressor/Gate combines compression and gate facilities in a 500 series format. Unlike the majority of other 500 series compressors, the N90-DRC is a single rack space unit. This gives the versatility of buying just a single channel, or as many channels as you prefer.
- Page 3 The N90-DRC is designed to be driven by "ear". Each control knob indicates simply the range available and has a ring of marks to aid setting - Only experience can determine optimum settings for the occasion and these may well include the off buttons.
- Page 4 Maximum Output = +15dBu @ 1kHz, Noise = -90dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz. Input connections: XLR input on rear of API compatible rack Phoenix Audio’s unique Class A, transformer-less, True electronically balanced buffer amp input stage. Compressor Section Rotary Controls:...
- Page 6 COMPRESSOR SECTION Comp/Byp Switch: This switch activates the compression circuit. It does not affect the gate circuit. The Bypass is a soft bypass. This means you can still have the benefit of the Class A Input buffer stage. THRSH Rotary: This is the Threshold control for the compressor. Threshold Settings: From +10db to -30db.
- Page 7 GATE SECTION The gate section works independently from the compressor but is designed to complement it's functionality. The gate is not designed to be a “Hard” cut-off gate control, but is designed to be an analogue gentle and musical gate that gently drops the background noise by -15dB making it less obvious that a gate has been employed.
- Page 8 Key Switch: The Key switch determines which input the gate will use for it's control signal. If the Key switch is up the gate circuit uses the signal on the input as it's trigger source. If the Key switch is down the gate circuit will use an input applied to the Bantam TT jack on the front panel (EXT) as it's trigger source.
