Threshold Control: Adjust the onset of dynamic control in each particular band, from –30dBu to +22dBu MODE Key: Select whether gain reduction is to occur either above the threshold, or below. Hold key to change modes. D2 Operators Manual Page 7... - Page 8 Full Range LED: To enable the band to work as a full range compressor/expander, press the SHELF, and then turn the frequency control fully clockwise/anti-clockwise (for bands 1 & 3 respectively).

Switching the unit on and start-up procedure After plugging in the power and switching the power on suing the rear panel switch, confirmation is quickly given that all is well by various status LEDs illuminating almost immediately after power-up. -
Page 11: What Is Dynamic Eq
Any instance where the desired result is to control a band of frequencies, such as de-essing, or de-popping, without affecting the surrounding frequency ranges is an ideal use for this mode. D2 Operators Manual Page 11... - Page 12 Try the filter set to a high shelf mode at 4kHz, attack 25mS, release 100mS. The threshold setting is more crucial in this mode than usual, with the trade-off being effective removal of noise against possible intrusive dulling of the program material.

Page 13: Setting The Attack And Release Times
Fast Response - ~3kHz – 20kHz The dynamic EQ bands attack and release times are linked to the centre frequency of the respective band and vary accordingly – high frequency settings will utilise faster attack and release times. D2 Operators Manual Page 13... -
Page 14: Operating Notes
Provision is also made for separately isolating each input and output shield pin permanently within the D2 by breaking the appropriate PCB track, where marked with a box and an arrow next to each XLR connector using a small drill bit or cutter. -
