SETUP We know you can’t wait to plug in the 10DC but here are just a few things to know about during installation. When first powering on the 10DC, allow a few minutes of idle warmup. The components need time to charge before making any critical signal processing.
A well-received feature to this style of compressor, the ATTACK control sets the amount of time it takes for the 10DC to begin compressing the signal once it is above the threshold. It is selectable in six steps from 2mS for fast response to peaks to 80mS for very slow response to retain the dynamics before compression takes control.
BAE AUDIO – 10DCF LIMITER THRESHOLD: This sets the audio level at where the signal begins its compression. It covers a range from +4dBu to +15dBu in 1dB steps. Limiter functions are considered with more care and refinement as the recording device would be more sensitive to maximum levels, especially with digital media where there is not much give going into the red with metering.
STEREO LINKING The 10DC is equipped to be linked in stereo operation if desired. When using two 10DC units, either one of them could be used as the Master by simply setting the controls so that it compresses or limits more than the other unit.
