  • Page 2: Operation And Safety Precautions

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ OPERATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please note that the GLA-TC2 Dictator Dual Mono is intended for professional use. It’s not a consumer electronic device. Its installation and use require certain professional sound engineering knowledge and skills. Lack of this knowledge may result in malfunction, damage or personal injury.
  • Page 3 DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ ■ if any object or liquid gets inside the device, ■ if the device has been exposed to rain or other moisture, ■ if the device does not operate normally ■ Do not connect the appliance to a mains socket to which an electrical appliance controlled by an inverter, switching power supply (eg refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, air conditioner) or a appliance with a motor is connected.
  • Page 4: Cleaning And Maintenance

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Clean the appliance daily with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Use a soft, abrasion-free cloth to remove stubborn dirt. Then wipe the device with a dry cloth. Never use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other solvents, strong alkaline or acidic cleaners as they may cause discoloration and deformation.
  • Page 5: Meter Mode Switch

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ METERS The meters provide information - optionally - on the magnitude of the signal level leaving the unit or the degree of interference from the compressor. Being a dual mono compressor, the right-hand VU meter shows the levels for the B channel, while the left-hand VU meter shows the levels for the A channel.
  • Page 6: Input Level Switch

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ INPUT LEVEL SWITCH With the help of the input signal level controller, it is possible to increase the signal level entering the device if, for example, it does not reach the lowest interference threshold level, or if we want to achieve additional gain on the input for any reason.
  • Page 7 DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ compared to the original signal. To select the operating mode, move the switch until the indicator LED shows the desired operating mode. TIME CONSTANT - ATTACK The sound we hear during compression is basically determined by the speed of the time constants, which in most cases will result from the nature of the program signal.
  • Page 8: Channel Link/Unlink

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ INTERVENTION - THRESHOLD The intervention threshold level, THRESHOLD, determines the signal level at which the dynamics controller starts compressing. The timing of the intervention can be manipulated by the operator by setting the time constants discussed above, which has a significant influence on the nature of the sound.
  • Page 9: Sidechain Filter

    DICTATOR DUAL MONO VARI-μ SIDECHAIN FILTER Depending on the program signal, it is often necessary for the dynamics controller not to react to deep frequency components. In such cases, it is advisable to filter out these low-frequency components from the auxiliary circuit signal controlling the compressor with a high-pass filter that does not allow a signal to the control circuit below a set cut-off frequency.
