    Typically you would use one C300 is an easy to use dual engine dynamics processor that gives you superior compression/ information you will need to operate the engine as a gate/expander and the other as de- limiting and gate/expansion feasibilities.

    LED off = signal above threshold LED on = signal below threshold Serial mono: By using only the Left input/Left output, C300 OVERLOAD operates as two mono blocks in serial. The OVERLOAD LED can indicate various types of overload.

  • Page 6: Rear Panel Connections

    C300 automatically detects if a digital signal is present on the S/PDIF input. When locked to a valid digital signal the DIGITAL IN LED on the front panel is lit. If C300 cannot lock to the digital input the analog inputs are used.

  • Page 8 CABLES CABLES C300 can be connected with standard insert cables but in some situations a better signal to Connecting to balanced equipment. noise ratio level can be obtained using slightly unconventional cable types. When connecting to C300 outputs to downstream devices with balanced inputs you MUST use mono/unbalanced plugs in the C300 outputs.

    This preset is only gives the desired result. look at the basic compression parameters: featured in the gate/expander mode. The C300 presets assist you greatly in that respect as each preset has pre-programmed Applied algorithm: The Threshold parameter - sets the limit attack and release times.
