Precautions the t l audio c-3021 compressor requires very little installation, but like all electrical equipment, care must be taken to ensure reliable, safe operation. The following points should always be observed: - all mains wiring should be installed and checked by a qualified electrician, - en...
Installation ac mains supply. The unit is fitted with an internationally approved 3 pin iec connector. A mating socket with power cord is provided with the unit, wired as follows: brown: live. Blue: neutral. Green/yellow: earth (ground). All mains wiring should be performed by a qualified electricia...
Audio inputs. Each channel has a female, 3 pin xlr connector, suitable for balanced or unbalanced line sources at a nominal level of +4dbu. The mating connector should be appropriately wired as follows for balanced or unbalanced operation: balanced inputs: - pin 1 = ground (screen). - pin 2 = signal...
Insertion points. The insertion points are interfaced via a 3 pin, 0.25” switched jack socket on the rear of the unit. The pin connections are: - sleeve = ground, - tip = send, - ring = return. The insertion point is unbalanced, and operates at a nominal level of -2dbu . If used as an additional sen...
Rear panel. The rear panel connectors are identified in fig.3. Make sure that all settings, mains and audio connections have been made as described above before attempting to operate the equipment. Operation. Front panel. The front panel controls are identified in fig.2. Input gain. A line level sig...
Whist the subjective sound quality can be improved by compression, the overall signal level may be reduced. A gain make-up control at the output of the compressor stage allows the signal level to be brought back to the same loudness as the uncompressed signal. Frequency selective compression may be ...
Gain make-up. Up to 20db of gain make-up may be applied, to retain the subjective loudness of the signal. Bypass. The compressor in switch allows the processing to be bypassed for comparison of the compressed signal (with any gain make up that has been applied), with the original signal. Stereo oper...
