    5088: Operations Manual DO NOT setup the 5088 Console or its Power Supplies in an unventilated or tightly enclosed space. DO NOT block any of the chassis ventilation holes. The 5088’s class-A discrete circuits generate heat during operation and the ventilation holes allow the internal console fans to properly dissipate the heat.

  • Page 41 5088: Operations Manual 5051 Features The 5051 EQ/Compressor requires its own standalone power supply to operate. The power supply features proprietary 4-pin polarized outputs at +24 and -24V DC, and will power up to twenty-five 5051 modules. LINE 1 / LINE 2 Allows you to have two sources pre-patched into the 5051.
  • Page 42 5088: Operations Manual MID FREQ The MID FREQ rotary switch has 6 positions to select the center frequency of the mid band EQ stage. This circuit utilizes an inductor and capacitors to shape the EQ curve, the same way as Rupert Neve’s console designs of the 70’s. The frequencies chosen are 200 Hz, 350 Hz, 700 Hz, 1.5kHz, 3 kHz and 6 kHz.
  • Page 43 5088: Operations Manual Engages an 18 dB per octave Butterworth high pass filter to remove unwanted low frequency sounds. This button actually allows two different corner frequencies. The first press selects a 60 Hz filter denoted by the light illuminating blue.
  • Page 44 5088: Operations Manual S/C HPF Engages a 250Hz, 12dB per octave high pass filter to prevent low frequency material from excessively controlling the compressor. With mixes or wide spectrum sounds, there is often significant amounts of low frequency energy that can...
  • Page 45 5088: Operations Manual LINK Allows multiple 5051 modules to be linked together such that at any given time, the 5051 with the highest control voltage will control the compression of all the linked units. To create a stereo pair, first adjust the two modules so that they have identical compression and EQ setting.
  • Page 46 5088: Operations Manual COMP IN Engages the compressor, and is indicated by a green button. Other than simply engaging the compressor, engineers often toggle this button to aid adjusting the make-up gain for similar average levels. The comp in button is also used to compare the untreated signal to the compressed signal to verify a positive change is being made.

  • Page 54 5088: Operations Manual HI PEAK When the button is out, the high frequency band operates in shelf mode, boosting or cutting above the corner frequency at approximately 6 dB/octave. Below the corner frequency the amount of boost or cut gradually diminishes. With the HI PEAK button pressed, the high frequency band changes to peak mode with a bell shaped boost or cut curve.
  • Page 55 5088: Operations Manual LOW FREQ The LOW FREQ rotary switch has 4 positions for selecting one of four corner or center frequencies for the low band EQ section. The frequencies are 35 Hz, 60 Hz, 100 Hz and 220 Hz.
  • Page 56 5088: Operations Manual LEVEL METER Displays the final peak output level of the 5052. In the case of feeding the 5052 into A to D converters, one should primarily depend on the converters own meters due to possible converter calibration variables. The 5052 level meter is calibrated for dBu, and the red LEDs may not necessarily match up with the destination device.
