4. Output Section

4.1 Master Level

The Output control determines the output

volume of the DTC™. It affects the analog output

as well as the digital output, if installed.

Connections:

The balanced XLR output serves as a recording

out for any devices connected to it such as

recording devices, mixing consoles, or exterrnal

converters. The unbalanced 1/4-inch output is

intended to be used as an analog monitoring

point.

NOTE: The level of the unbalanced

1/4-inch output jack is 2 dB less than

that of the balanced XLR output.

This difference is technically

dependent, but insignificant for

monitoring purposes.

Operation:

OUTPUT: Controls the output volume within

a range from -∞ to +6 dB. At 0 there is

Unity Gain.

Caution: Since the Output control

comes after the limiter, if brick-wall-

limited signals are amplified further,

you run the risk of clipping.

In that case the overload protection

of the digital option is no

longer guaranteed!

4.2 Bypass

Operation:

Bypass: Switches all processing stages of the

DTC™ and the Output control out of the signal

path.

Caution: Depending on the settings

you are using at any given time, there

may be a great difference in level

between the processed signal and the

original signal.

INFO

At a level of 0 the optional digital converter is driven

to its optimal level. If you limit to 0 dB full-scale, the

dynamics of the converter is used to optimum

advantage. But to play it safe, you still shouldn't run

critical material as hot as 0 dB, even with full-scale

limiting. The red LED should not light up even on

signal peaks.

HELPFUL HINT

The meters can be switched to read either the input

or output level. In other words, you can choose to

view the level either after the preamp stage or at the

very output of the DTC™. To drive the input

optimally, there are two cases to consider, depending

on whether you use the integrated compressor/limiter

or not. If you do, first switch the meter display to

Input. Then, in a test run of the piece you plan to

record, set the Input Gain while a louder passage is

playing so that the first few yellow LEDs light on

signal peaks. Then switch the meter display to Output

and make whatever sound-shaping settings changes

you like. At that point, if you use medium threshold

settings, you will be able to depend on the

compressor / limiter to prevent overs, even if you

boost levels with the equalizer, which will not be

overdriven either.

Without using the compressor / limiter, switch the

meter display directly to Output, make your desired

sound changes, and adjust the levels using the Input

Gain control. When you do this, leave the Output

control in the middle position. If you made any

strong cuts in the equalizer, compensate for them by

boosting the levels with the Output Gain control, or

else you may run the risk of overdriving the equalizer

with too high an input level.

HELPFUL HINT

The main purpose of the Bypass switch is to permit

easy comparison between the processed signal and

the original. If the Output control is being used as a

volume control, however, then you need to ensure,

especially when operating at reduced levels, that the

original signal level may be substantially higher than

that of the processed signal. To protect any devices

farther down the signal chain, it would be advisable

to switch out the individual processing stages one at

a time for the sake of the comparison.
