2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION FUNCTION DESCRIPTION BASIC DESCRIPTION The digital dynamics processors by Jünger operating in conjunction with multiple frequency Audio are high quality devices for adjusting the linear control circuits. The resulting attack and dynamic range of digital audio signals in release times of the system are variable and mastering or studio applications.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING All signal processing is done in the digital Selecting a particular program PRO 0...9 sets domain by floating point signal processors. up the optimum parameters of the dynamics The use of 32 bit word length for calculation processor (attack release times,...
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 2.3.3 EXPANDER Below an adjustable threshold level an expander can be activated which can lower the amout of noise signals. Range parameter describes the maximum attenuation within 6dB input level change below threshold level. input [dBFS] fig. 2-2: static characteristics: threshold expander...
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 2.3.5 FILTER The digital dynamics processor offers a filter parameter centre frequency , range (filter gain) for the creation of the desired sound setting or and Q are adjustable. for creating dynamic range processing (f.i. de- The Q control affects how frequency selective esser).
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 2.3.6 DYNAMIC FILTER In dynamic mode the filter activity is controlled All spectral parts of the signal (selected by the by the audio level. The filter get active only if filter band) which has more level as the the level of incoming audio signal reaches a adjusted threshold level will be reduced by the defined threshold level.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION CONFIGURABLE AUDIO PATH audio chain processing FLT-EXP-COMP-GAIN-LIM configurable through the user to extend the possible applications of the device. EXP-FLT-COMP-GAIN-LIM Changing the audio chain means to move the filter block in one of four possible positions. EXP-COMP-GAIN-LIM The selection is to do by calling the CONFIG menu.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION REMOTE FADER If a fade is performed before the ACCENT, the compressor will try to increase the level as the fader decreases. Therefore the fade must be done after the compressor. ACCENT is supporting the performance of hand-fades by using a remote fader.
3. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION UNPACK THE UNIT The digital dynamics processor ACCENT2 was Please examine carefully the packaging and its carefully packed in the factory and the contents for any signs of physical damage, packaging designed protect which may have occured in transit. equipment from rough handling.
3. INSTALLATION SYNCHRONIZATION OF DIGITAL OUTPUT The digital dynamcis processor ACCENT2 has reference frequencies or external sync. two digital signal outputs. The main digital The requested sample rate for the main digital output (XLR1, BNC1) can be combined with a output with SRC can be set in setup menu.
3. INSTALLATION AUDIO CONNECTIONS The ACCENT2 audio inputs are RFI filtered and Balanced connections are to be preferred with the outputs electronically balanced and whenever other equipment provides floating. All the audio connectors are via rear balanced inputs/outputs. line level panel mounted connectors.

6. APPLICATION NOTES APPLICATION NOTES THE JÜNGER AUDIO DYNAMICS PROCESSOR PRINCIPLE A change in the dynamic range of an audio each band are independent of one another and signal is a non-linear process. The gain of a can be set in such a way that a broad program dynamic range processor is not constant as it is range can be processed well.
