have a definite maximum output level that will never be exceeded (many LEDS lit on the

Gain Reduction meter). The Peak Limit LED should never flicker if it is set correctly and

providing that the Gain control is not adjusted too high.

1.04 Soft Knee, Slow Time Constants

This mode of operation will still yield musical results, but will tend to allow the very quick

dynamics through unprocessed. Therefore you will require more peak limiting and a high

overhead in speaker power handling.

Depress the Slow switch. Set the Threshold to somewhere between 10dB and 15dB

LOWER than your average input level and set the Ratio control somewhere between 5:1

and 10:1, if you require compression of the audio signal, but 20:1 or higher if you require

compression and limiting.

With normal programme level running through the CX335, rotate the Gain control so that

the output level on the Left and Right channel VU meters measures about the same in

Bypass mode as it does with the Compressor operational.

Rotate the Peak Limiter control to a position where the peak LED flashes quite often to

capture very high level peaks for speaker protection. The Peak Level is best adjusted by

monitoring or observing the amplifier peak or clip indicator with full level programme

passing through the unit.

With this configuration, the louder the input then the more compression will take place. A

perceived increase in average overall volume should be noted, although the peak output

level should be slightly lower. Some dynamics might cause other problems further down

the signal path.

1.05 Hard knee, Slow time constants

This mode of operation will be the most noticeable (especially with high Ratio settings

and fast dance tracks) as the point where compression takes effect is at a definite audio

level.
