Stereo / Serial
In the Stereo/Serial mode C300 is ideal for
the following 3 different main applications.
Mono serial processing
Connect a mono signal to the C300 left input
and listen on the C300 right output.
Stereo (single engine processing)
Stereo in / Stereo Out. Bypass engine 2 by
turning the MIX control fully counter-clockwise
to "BYP".
Stereo Serial (dual engine processing)
Stereo in / Stereo Out. Both engines
processing. This is a typical choice if you want
to combine e.g. a De-ess function with
compression on vocals.
• Set Routing to Stereo / Serial.
• Connect Master Out or Group Out to C300
Left/Right inputs and C300 outputs to
downstream device - e.g. stereo amplifier.
