2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The digital dynamics processor d06 is a professional studio device that is performing automated levelling of digital audio signals. BASIC DESCRIPTION The dynamic range processor principles developed by Jünger Audio enable level managing devices like compressors, AGC and limiters to be produced with exceptionally high audio quality, without coloration, pumping, breathing, distortion or modulation effects sometimes associated with this type of processor.
2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPION All signal processing is done in the digital domain by Texas Instruments floating point signal processors. The use of 32 bit word length for calculation AUDIO SIGNAL ensures that there is no deterioration in signal quality, even if an audio signal PROCESSING with a maximum word length of 24 bit is input into the processing of the unit.

2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Level Magic ™ process needs to be setup in three steps Adjustment select one of the default presets for your apllication procedure (see preset description in chapter 5) adjust the operation level and peak level referring to standards that are used for your application if the default preset is not giving satisfying results change the parameters indivdually...
A change in the dynamic range of an audio signal is a non-linear process. The gain of a dynamic range processor is not constant as it is with the gain of a THE JUNGER linear amplifier. The gain varies in time depending on the input signal and AUDIO DYNAMICS depending on the specific control algorithm of the dynamics processor.
2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Junger Audio dynamics processors work according to a Multi-loop principle, operating with an interaction between several frequency linear control circuits. This is quite different to the popular multiband structure which changes the sound. Multi - Band...
2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPION Especially the release time of the control circuit has more influence to the increase of loudness as any other parameter. The ranging of time constants in processing time groups reflects this fact. The range for processing time shows influence on release time parameter mostly.
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or displays no longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected immediately disconnect the power cord plug and contact your dealer or Junger Audio. operation manual d06, chapter 3 - Installation - page 1 of 10...

4. NETWORK INTEGRATION Connect the device via a 9 pin serial cable (connected 1 to 1) to your PC. Start your terminal program (e.g. Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal). Enter a name of your choice and press OK Choose the communication port (physical or virtual if you are using an USB >...
Page 27
4. NETWORK INTERGRATION You will get to the Hyper terminal window: Press ENTER and you will get a similar window : 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.
