INSTALLATION The 1977 is designed for standard 19” rack mounting and occupies 2U of rack space. Fibre or plastic washers may be used to prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts. - Care should be taken in the choice of positioning. The unit should not be mounted where other equipment obstructs the normal air flow.
If ground loop problems are encountered, never disconnect the mains earth, but instead, try disconnecting the signal screen on one end of each of the cables connecting the outputs of the 1977 to the patchbay. If such measures are necessary, balanced operation is recommended.
Gain-Compressor-Equaliser-Output, as each creates a distinctly different tonal quality, and coloration depending on the setting and allows the engineer to operate the 1977 to their own personal taste. As a very general rule, using EQ in front of your compressor produces a warmer tone, while using EQ after your compressor produces a cleaner sound, though this will depend on a number of factors.

EQ band. On the 1977 the width of the effected signal is measured as Bandwidth (as opposed to ‘Q’, which it is inversely related to) and on the Mid band is fully parametric (as opposed to semi, quasi or fixed that you may find on other eq’s) meaning that the bandwidths are fully adjustable across their entire range, providing greater control.
