Apply the TransY as your secret weapon from playing out live to recording and mastering. The TransY can handle whatever you throw at it producing a professional result. Master your unique sound with the TransY.
INSTALLATION The ART TransY may be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. Housed in a rack- mountable, all-steel enclosure, the unit is designed for continuous professional use. Mounting location is not critical. However for greater performance and reliability, we recommend that users not place the unit on top of power amps, or other sources of heat and/or strong magnetic fields.
Balanced Outputs The analog output of the TransY is available on both a 1/4-inch TRS balanced jack and an XLR jack. This output is transformer balanced. The output has a low impedance for driving long lines. “0” on the output meter corresponds 0dBu (.775 VRMS) at the output jacks when the I/O switch is set to +4 and -10dBV when set to -10.
Bypass switch is in the out position, even when power is off. Threshold Control The THRESHOLD control sets the point at which the TransY will act on a signal. Turning this control counter-clockwise lowers the threshold (adding more compression to a signal). Turning this control clockwise raises the threshold.
De-essing refers to reducing the "s" and "sh" sounds level that is be increased when adding compression. The TransY De-esser control lowers the threshold of compression of a narrow band of frequencies to maintain a more natural level of sibilance as you increase compression.
If the TransY fails to power up when the POWER switch is turned on, check to see that its power cord is plugged into an active outlet. If the unit still fails to operate properly, turn it off and unplug it.
The musical nature of the TransY makes it ideal for use on a wide range of instruments and vocals. Place the TransY into a channel insert, after a preamplifier, or in line with the direct output of a mixer channel. Adjust the controls of the TransY to achieve the desired amount of compression.
