    Power Supply ....................15 Specifications ....................16 Warranty ......................17 Dear customer, Foreword Thank you for the confidence you have shown towards SPL elec- tronics GmbH by purchasing the SPL T , a highly RANSIENT ESIGNER innovative Dynamic Processor manufactured to a high standard.
  • Page 4: Introduction

    SPL's Differential Envelope Technology® is the sing that makes it possible to first solution for level-independent processing of envelopes allo-...
  • Page 5: Operation Safety

    Thanks Packaged in a standard 19 " EIA format and occupying 1U (44,45 mm) of rack space, the T can be installed in RANSIENT ESIGNER a standard rack, but it is recommended that the rear of the case be supported, especially in touring applications. The T RANSIENT should not be installed near units which produce strong ESIGNER...
  • Page 6: Connections

    Pin-wiring: XLR-connectors 1=GND 2=hot (+) 3=cold (-) To ensure optimal signal quality, SPL has developed a new hybrid-component balanced input/output stage using all laser- trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01%. This approach has resulted in an exceptionally high CCMR (common mode rejec- tion);...

    Differential Envelope Technology® Differential Envelope Technology® maintains identical enve- SPL's Differential Envelope lope processing from quiet to loud signals (from pianissimo to Technology® realises level- fortissimo) without the need for the user to adjust any external independent envelope parameters.
  • Page 8: The Sustain Control-Circuitry

    Tech Talk Diagram 3 illustrates the shapes of the processed curves with maximum and minimum attack, compared to the original curve from Diagram 1. The SUSTAIN control circuitry The SUSTAIN control circuitry includes two further envelope generators. The envelope follower Env 3 (Diagram 4), again follows the shape of the original curve.
  • Page 9: Prevent Overload

    Tech Talk Diagram 6 illustrates the processed curves with maximum and minimum sustain compared to the original curve from Diagram 1. Prevent overload Important advice for connection to digital recording systems: Each unit connected to the T should be able to RANSIENT ESIGNER handle high input levels.
  • Page 10: Control Elements

    Control elements Active The ACTIVE switch operates a hard-bypass relay circuit to switch the channels in and out of processing and a status LED indicates that the channel is active. The unit also switches to relay hard-bypass automatically in the case of a power failure, either on the primary or secondary side of the power supply, or when the unit is turned off at the POWER switch.
  • Page 11: Sustain

    Control elements The difference (Diagram 2, page 7) between these envelopes results in a voltage that controls the VCA, boosting the transient for a period equal to the duration of the original transient. The amplitude of the attack is increased, if positive ATTACK values are set, while negative ATTACK values reduce the level of the attack transient.
  • Page 12: Applications

    Applications The T is ideally suited for use in professional RANSIENT ESIGNER recording, in project or home studios and P. A. applications. For the first time the T provides the technology RANSIENT ESIGNER to manipulate the attack and sustain characteristics of a signal regardless of level, and using simple controls.
  • Page 13: Drums & Percussion

    Applications One of the most interesting applications of the T RANSIENT is processing drum and percussion sounds, both from ESIGNER samples to live drum sets: Drums & Percussion • The attack of a bass drum or a loop can be emphasised to increase the power and presence in the mix.
  • Page 14: Backings

    Applications • Increasing the sustain period of miked acoustic guitars produces clearer audible stereophonic sounds. Reducing the sustain value can help dry up the sound. Backings • When recording choirs, the effect of too much 'ambience' can be reduced by using a lower sustain setting. Keyboards, Sampler, •...
  • Page 15: Power Supply

    Power Supply Special care has gone into the design of the power supply of the T . The power supply is the heart of any elec- RANSIENT ESIGNER tronic system, and the better it is, the better the whole system works.
