  • Page 6: Control Descriptions

    CONTROL DESCRIPTION L.F. 25Hz - 4kHz The Low Frequency filter works by severely attenuating frequencies below the cut-off frequency selected. H.F. 250Hz - 35kHz, The High Frequency filter attenuates frequencies above the selected cut-off value. In other words, when both filters are set, it is the range between the two settings that is allowed to pass.
  • Page 7 When this switch is set to Key Listen, the effect of the key filters on the programme material is heard at the output. In normal operation, the Gate position is selected; the filters only affect the way the DS201 responds to the incoming programme material - they do not have any direct effect on the output signal.
