8.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS/SET-UP
Setting up the Studio Dominator for operation is
extremely
simple.
Once the input sensitivity has been set correctly
(see
sec.
5.2), the general set-up procedure is as follows:
8.1 Beginning
Start with these settings:
a. All knobs at
12
o'clock position.
b. PROCESS ON.
c.
LF
X-OVER at
80
Hz.
d. HF X-OVER at 1700 Hz.
e. TRACKING
OFF.
f. OUTPUT CEILING anywhere.
g. RANGE on low or
hi.
h.
TEC OFF.
8.2 Drive
Set the drive level
by inputting a typical
program source
to
the
limiter
and observing
the
"total
limiting" display.
Increase
or
decrease
the
drive
to
obtain
a
nominal
6 dB
indication on this display.
8.3 Output Set
Set the output level to
the desired value using the
Range
switch and Output Ceiling
selector.
If the exact
output level
required is not
known, the setting
can be done
experimentally
with program audio.
NOTE 1:
A tone burst or program audio must be used to
set
the
peak
ceiling
output
level because
a
steady
state tone
through the limiter will settle to 3 dB (peak) under the ceiling
level.
This
is
an
important
characteristic
of
the Studio
Dominator.
More can be learned about this in the theory section
of the manual.
NOTE 2:
At this
point, the
Studio Dominator
is set
to
maintain a
precise peak
ceiling.
Unlike
most other limiters,
the Studio Dominator output
level will not need
any correction
even
if
equalization,
drive,
or
any
other
control
is
adjusted any amount!
In
many installations.
the output
level
will never need to be readjusted once the correct level is set.
