STEREO ANALOG AMBIENT PROCESSOR USER GUIDE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION AND SETUP, PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTION PAGES - 1 - MCAudioLab LUNA VariAmb processor - user guide issue 1.1...
Unlike digital plugins, we have developed fully analog audio gear to accomplish this: LUNA. The LUNA accepts two input channels in Stereo or Mid-Side mode - The nominal input and output levels are +4 dBu on every XLR/Jack audio connector on the back of the unit. An internal encoder converts the input signal to M-S, while a decoder converts the output signal back to Stereo.

Trim knobs adjust the SIDE channel level. MONO When you turn this poten�ometer clockwise, the signal is sent to the LUNA Analog Processor. The signal com- ponents that sit centrally between the le� and right channels are referred to as MONO. When in the OFF posi�on, no signal is routed to the LUNA Analog Processor.

INSERT switches These two switches allow you to send the LUNA's signal externally. There are two separate switches, one for the Mid channel and the other for the Side channel. Regardless of the source (Stereo or Mid-Side), the LUNA always operates in M-S mode internally.

These are TRS balanced jack connectors that receive the signal from an external source when the LUNA is in insert mode. MID-SIDE Sends These are TRS balanced jack connectors that send the signal to an external device when the LUNA is in insert mode. FUSE The fuse protects the LUNA electrical circuit in case of a malfunc�on or problems with the electrical network.

CAUTION: Temperature - The chassis may become hot during opera�on. Do not place LUNA close to any heat sources such as radiators or stoves. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. Do not block the circula�on vents − heat from the device must be allowed to dissipate. Allow free space around the unit in your rack for cooling.
