Operating Level - Input Gain Trim
The 4K MODE switch on the right-hand side determines if an Input Trim is applied. Press the switch to cycle through the options.
4K MODE = WHITE: 0 dB (default)
This is the standard operating level, generally suitable for most mixing scenarios.
4K MODE = RED: +10 dB
A 10 dB gain is applied to the input stage. This is useful when you are interfacing The Bus+ with an audio interface or DAC that
has a lower output level, allowing it to drive The Bus+ correctly. For example, this is recommended if connecting The Bus+ to an
SSL 2 audio interface which outputs +12.5 dBu at 0 dBFS.
4K MODE = GREEN: -5 dB
A pad of -5 dB is applied to the input stage. This operating mode might be useful for Mastering engineers dealing with 'hot' mixes,
effectively altering the threshold range from +20/-20 dB to +25/-15 dB.
0 dB Input Gain
+10 dB Input Gain
-5 dB Input Gain
Auto Sleep
In addition to putting The Bus+ into Sleep mode manually (by pressing CH 1 IN and CH 2 IN switches together in normal operation),
the unit can enter Sleep mode automatically after a specified amount of time of inactivity. Inactivity can mean either the pots and/
or switches have not been operated. It can also mean there has been no audio present above -5 dBu at the Bus Compressor input
(with 0 dB input trim).
By default Auto Sleep is disabled. Engaging the left-hand side HF BELL switch enables Auto Sleep with a default setting of 20
minutes. Use the HF FAST and LF FAST switches to increase/decrease the activation time for Auto Sleep. Operating mode LEDs
(Classic Stereo / � S/C Stereo / Dual Mono / Mid Side) indicate the current Auto Sleep time setting.
1) Press HF BELL to enable Auto Sleep
2) Use HF FAST / LF FAST to increase or decrease Auto Sleep activation time
