  • Page 5 Operator Manual – CLX-52 Compressor/Limiter A great deal of time was spent developing a wide-bandwidth, ultra-low-distortion, low noise VCA (voltage controlled amplifier). The result is the CLX-52, a versatile and highly listenable compressor/limiter suitable for use in professional sound reinforcement, recording and broadcasting.
  • Page 6 For unity gain, set the control to 0. A unique feature of Ashly Compressor/ Limiters is the incorporation of a double release-time constant. When a conventional compressor/limiter is adjusted for slow release times, transients such as mic “pops” may cause a severe reduction in gain followed by a slow fadeup, making the action of the limiter very obvious.

  • Page 7: General Requirements

    General Requirements The CLX-52 has specific physical, electrical and signal requirements for proper operation. These requirements will vary depending on your specific application, setup, and the settings on the unit. When setting up and testing your system, please take special care to double check all connections and settings.

  • Page 8: Stereo Operation

    To prevent distortion while preserving dynamic range set the CLX-52 as follows: Gain = 0, Threshold = 2-3 dB below recorder input max, Ratio = 10, Attack = 2 mS, Release = .2 Sec, Output = 0. Every situation is different, so experimentation before final recording is always a good idea.
  • Page 9 Note: Unshielded cables, improperly wired connections, and cable with broken strands (shorts, etc.) are the most common problems. Make sure you use good quality cable with connectors soldered firmly on the correct pin. When in doubt, get in touch with your Ashly dealer.
