To set the reference level manually, follow these steps: 1. Set all dip switches to “OFF” except #6, ADJ. –set it to ON 2. Adjust the potentiometers to the desried CUSTOM reference (setting). For this you need to feed the analog input with a known refernce level and measure the digital output. Make sure that the DSP processing is bypassed, otherwise there could be DSP gain active! 3.
You can do all settings with the keys on the front of the device, via remote or software. FRONT PANEL The d07 uses two groups of data, in the CONFIG area to set up OPERATION device functions (selection of an input, synchronization or input of a...

Multi-Loop designs The Junger Audio Dynamics Processors work according to a Multi-loop principle. The various loops each work over the entire frequency spectrum. They work in parallel, each with a different set of attack and release parameters.
Page 34
The Best Performance The dynamic range processor principles developed by Junger Audio make it possible to realize dynamics processors (compressor, limiter, expander) with very high audio quality, without signal coloration, pumping or breathing, and without distortion and modulation products.
Page 35
THE JÜNGER AUDIO COMPRESSOR & EXPANDER PRINCIPLE Compression is defined as the reduction of the dynamic range of the input signal to match the dynamic range of the storage system, transmission system, and/or the listening environment. Typical approaches to this task often result in audible artifacts and lack luster performance.

Level Magic™ from Junger Audio relies on a sophisticated new adaptive level control algorithm capable of adjusting the right audio level from any source at any time.
Page 43
LEVEL MAGIC d06 d07 b46 C8007 C8046 Introduction & Reference guide To understand the principle of the new algorithm and the adjustment of LEVEL MAGIC it is necessary to keep some psychoacoustic aspects in mind 1. We do not perceive level changes if they happen in a certain period of time dependent on the absolute value of the level change.
Page 44
Level Magic different from previous dynamics processors? A compressor/limiter combination of a known dynamics processor by Junger Audio is always controlling the audio level in relation to the limiter threshold. In result no headroom is more existing and the signal is developed to reach a 100% output level.
Page 45
Independent on the leveller circuits the brickwall limiter is taking care on the peak level. For the leveller (AGC + Transient Processor) Junger Audio is using a unique combination of QP and RMS level detectors to analyze the incoming audio signal. In comparing QP and RMS measurement results we can find out how much transients are coming in.

Software releases 3.xx are dedicated to the recently launched LevelMagic™ firmware of C8007 / d07. Since many new PCs do not have serial interfaces “on board” and CAN interface installation was sometimes tricky we decided to equip new devices with an Ethernet interface.
PC – the so called “double pack”. You can run as many PCs with a C8007control application within the network as you like. The only limitation is that only up to 3 C8007control applications can exploit one d07 device or one C8k frame at a time.
IP address from your system A Server can either be the C8k system controller C8702 or the built in Ethernet controller of a d07. Please refer to the respective manual for integrating such a device into your LAN.

OPERATION Now you must press the <SCAN> button. The application will connect with the first server from your list and will scan all devices within the range described above. When closing the application it will write an INI-file into the installation directory and will use these settings for the next time you run the application : processing display menu bar...

Page 62
The C8702 system controller as well as the d07 Ethernet interface are talking internally via the CAN-bus with the physical processing device(s). In a C8k system the devices are the processing modules (C8007) while the d07 is treated as one device with almost the same behaviour as the C8007.
This action will overwrite the data of the GUI! There is an option “Connect Automatically After Scan”. If it is checked the application will automatically connect with the first C8007 device detected in a C8k frame or with the d07 processing part.
4.6 PARAMETER EDITING The GUI of the C8007control software represents a virtual signal flow of the processing. The d07 section only appears if a d07 is detected and allows for hardware specific settings of the d07 The soft button switches between the operating modes: compressor / LevelMagic™...
OPERATION 4.6.1 FUNCTION BUTTONS The virtual signal flow is divided into processing sections represented by a set of parameter windows and a 3D function button with a label on it. The label will change its colour from grey to yellow if the value of one of the processing parameter is in a range where this processing section becomes active.
OPERATION 4.8 SAVE PRESETS If you are happy with your actual “on air” parameters you can save these parameters to one of the USERx memories of the device. Press <SAVE> and the GUI will give you the option to select one of the preset memories P1 –...
OPERATION The GUI gives you the option to do this “off line” editing with all four presets one after the other because the application will keep all data in the PCs memory. If you have finished the editing you can press <SAVE&EXIT>.

Connect the device over a 9 pin serial cable (connected 1 to 1) to your PC. Start your terminal program (e.g. Start -> Programs -> Accesoires -> Communications -> HyperTerminal). Enter a name of your choice and press OK Choose the connection port you are working with and press OK Set the COM settings as they are shown in the window above and press OK.
Page 73
You will get to the Hyper terminal window: Press ENTER and you will get the following information of the device: Now you can change the network configuration so that it fits into your LAN. You might have changed the IP-address of the device, so please renew the label at the rear of the device, otherwise it will cause confusion.
Page 74
Scroll in the list and choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Make sure that the ‘check box’ for this item is checked, and then click on PROPERTIES. In this example, the Ethernet TCP/IP is set to ‘Obtain an IP address automatically.’ If, in your case, it is set to ‘Use the following IP address,’...
Page 75
Then change the settings in order to be able to communicate with the device. You have to choose an IP-address “near” to that of the device. So if the settings of the device are e.g. IP Adress: 10.110.123.114 Netmask: 255.255.0.0. Gateway: 10.110.0.1.
Page 76
Under MAINTENACE -> SYSTEM CONFIGURATION you will be able to change the device’s network configuration according to the settings of the LAN you want to use. After having changed the settings click CHANGE NETWORK CONFIGURATION and after that REBOOT THE CONTROLLER (Maintenance -> Reboot Controller). Rebooting the device activates the changes you have made to the network configuration.

MPX limiter, the adaptive pre-emphasis and the compressor. An MPX level of 0dBr lies 11.1 dB below the limitation point of the limiter of the d07 and is fixed to it. This value is given by the relation of multiplex power level of 0dBr (19kHz frequency deviation) to peak level (75kHz frequency deviation).

This level pull up must be considered for the limitation of peak levels. In the d07 the signal reaches a dynamic low path filter after a broad band limiter. The cut-off frequency of this filter is controlled adaptive and time depending. The...
