  • Page 2 Why are the attack and decay time constants different? The attack time is the time for the SVS-1B to respond to an increase in volume. It needs to be very fast in order to “catch” a sudden burst of music. The attack time constant of the SVS- 1B is 2 msec ( 0.001 seconds) and is an exponential shape so that the slope (change of...
  • Page 3: Typical Questions

    - Automatic gain control devices are compressors with an infinite compression slope, so they completely remove the dynamic range from music. In the MAX position, the SVS-1B also provides a flat output vs. input, yet retains the instantaneous dynamics of the music.

  • Page 7 In the bypass mode, the output signal is the same level as the input signal regardless of volume. As you can see in figure 8, The SVS-1B’s Volume Stabilizer switch allows you to select either 2:1 curve (NORM) or an almost flat volume stabilization (MAX). With...
  • Page 8: Technical Information

    It increases the signals below a threshold and decreases the signals above this threshold. The SVS-1B changes only the volume just like a volume control. It does not change any frequency response or phase information for optimal sound quality and so it works with surround sound systems.

  • Page 10 Active Light The ACTIVE LIGHT show when the SVS-1B is in the active mode. If the light is out the unit is in the BYPASS mode or the power is removed. Volume Stabilization Setting The optimal setting of the Volume Stabilizer switch depends upon the type of music you listen to, how you intend to use the SVS-1B and your preferences.
  • Page 11: Operation

    With the MODE SWITCH in the “OUT” (bypass) position (ACTIVE LIGHT is off), there is no change to the audio signal. The SVS-1B will work with power on or off in this mode. Likewise, adjustment of the Volume Stabilization switch will not have any affect.
  • Page 12 VCR or satellite receiver on your Figure 5 Connection in a Tape Loop Useful if you want the SVS-1B to affect the output of any device connected to your receiver. Simply select the desired input and then monitor the “tape” to hear the SVS-1B.
