Fig. 5-1: RECOMMENDED INITIAL CONTROL SETTINGS
-- To adjust relative loudness
1. Adjust the CLIPPING control to obtain the loudness desired ( vis-a-vis other
stations). The INPUT ATTEN must then be slightly readjusted to achieve the
desired amount of gain reduction.
-- To obtain more consistent levels
1. Operate " multiband" ( BASS COUPLING at " 0") with fast release times. Turn
down CLIPPING and HF LIMITING as necessary to avoid objectionable distortion.
2. Clean up audio. Super- clean audio can be processed harder without
objectionable side- effects.
-- To obtain more brightness
1. Turn the HF LIMITING CONTROL fully clockwise ( full hard). To avoid
objectionable distortion with fast release time, you may have to turn down the
CLIPPING control. This will further increase brightness at the expense of
loudness.
2. Be sure that program material is properly equalized, and that the STL is
flat to 15kHz.
-- To obtain more bass ( less bass compression)
1. Operate the BASS COUPLING control towards " 0" ( independent).
