Phonic SMARTMAN 708A User Manual page 13

On Button: The on button quite simply activates the
output delay.
Time: These controls adjust the total delay time that
would be added to their respective outputs (left and right).
The delay time can be adjusted in milliseconds, meters
and feet.
Temperature: The temperature option allows the user to
set the ambient temperature of the current venue. This
allows the Smartman to calculate a more accurate delay-
time when set in "feet" or "meters".
In addition to the temperature control, this section of
the Delay function offers "time (ms)", "feet" and "meter"
buttons, changing the adjustable delay between these
parameters.
Dynamics: The Smartman has both a compressor and
limiter available on the Main output mix. A compressor
reduces signals over a user-defined threshold by a user-
defined amount/ratio. A limiter is similar, but with a ∞:1
ratio.
On Button: This activates the Dynamic Processor.
Reset: The reset button will return the dynamic processor
to the default parameters.
L and R Buttons: These are found on the main output
SMARTMAN 708A
mix and essentially determine whether the compressor /
limiter should be applied to the left and right output mixes.
Compressor Threshold: This adjusts the threshold of the
compressor. Once your signal level passes the selected
threshold, the compressor will kick-in at the set ratio.
Limiter Threshold: This adjusts the threshold of the
limiter function. This works in conjunction with the
compressor. A limiter simply act as a compressor with an
∞:1 ratio.
Ratio: This can be used to adjust the compressor input/
output signal ratio. This essentially determines the level
at which the signal will be cut after the threshold is
surpassed.
Output Gain: Increases the final output level of the
compressor/limiter.
Attack: The attack control adjusts the time it will take
for the compressor/limiter to kick in after the signal rises
above the set threshold.
Release: The release control adjusts the time it will take
for the compressor/limiter to deactivate after the signal
falls below the set threshold.
