    In the event of a fault during the warranty period the unit must be returned to your local distributor who will arrange for it to be shipped to Solid State Logic for repair. All units should be shipped to Solid State Logic in their original packaging.

  • Page 8: Safety Considerations

    Safety Earth Connection Any mains powered item of Solid State Logic equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety earth and grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.
  • Page 9 Mains Supply and Phases Solid State Logic equipment is designed for connection to single phase supplies with the Neutral conductor at earth potential – category TN – and is fitted with a protective fuse in the Live conductor only. It is not designed for use with Phase (Live) and Neutral connections reversed or where the Neutral conductor is not at earth potential (TT or IT supplies).

    Installation 3.0 Installation Voltage Selection Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the voltage range selector next to the IEC socket on the rear of the unit is correctly set. The input setting must be confirmed before applying power. The input module can be configured to be one of 4 voltage settings.

    XLogic Channel Owner’s Manual 4.0 Operation The XLogic Channel unit is a 1U rack mounting unit containing a complete set of signal processing from the XL 9000 channel strip – Input, Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, Hi and Lo pass filters and Equaliser. The signal processing order can be changed and the EQ and filter sections used in the dynamics side chain.

  • Page 13: Dynamics Section

    Operation DYNAMICS COMPRESSOR GATE RELEASE THRESHOLD HOLD THRESHOLD RATIO RELEASE RANGE FAST FAST LINK ∞ Dynamics Section The Dynamics section comprises a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate, both of which use the same gain change element. Both sections work independently, but can be operational at the same time, providing sophisticated control of signal levels.

  • Page 25: D Calibration Information

    Appendix Appendix D – Calibration Information The XLogic Channel unit is factory calibrated and should only need calibration if a potentiometer or other component has been replaced or if it is suspected that there is a problem with calibration. In all of the following instructions it is assumed that the lid has been removed and that power has been applied. It is also assumed that unless otherwise specified, all switches are released and all potentiometers are at unity, minimum or indent position as appropriate.
