and the RATIO (13) control low (fully counterclockwise). This is a

very low compression setting. To increase the amount of

compression, lower the THRESHOLD (12) control and increase

the RATIO (13) control until the desired amount is achieved.

To use the SIDE CHAIN (19) to directly access the compressor

circuitry you'll need an insert cable like the one shown above. The

Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo end plugs into the TMP-3 SIDE CHAIN

lack. The 1/4" SEND plug connects to the Input of a signal

processor such as an equalizer, the 1/4" RETURN plug connects

to the signal processor Output. The signal in the SIDE CHAIN is

not heard on the Output of the TMP-3, it only effects the action of

the compressor. The higher the level of signal in the SIDE CHAIN,

the more compression will occur.

Begin with all controls set at 0 or center detente position. This is

the equivalent of a "bypass". Adjusting the LEVEL (15) controls

will increase or decrease the amount of the indicated frequency

range. The MID SWEEP (9) control adjusts the actual frequency

that the MID LEVEL (8) control will adjust.

Increasing the Mic Preamp GAIN settings to the point where slight

distortion occurs will effect the overall frequency content of the

output signal. EQ adjustments may need to be made. Experiment

with different settings until you've achieved the desired sound.
