Samson C com 16 User Manual

ENGLISH

 

 The C Com 16’s ENHANCER switch can be engaged to activate the EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) circuit. 
By engaging the ENHANCER, the C Com 16 EFR restores the high frequency content that can be lost when high 
gain reduction is applied. The C Com 16 EFR achieves this by adding back the high-end of the original signal in 
an amount that is equal to the amount of gain reduction.

•  

 Follow the section above, “SETTING UP THE C Com 16” for 
normalizing the controls and run a signal such as a CD 
through the C Com 16.

• 

Set the PROGRAM switch to 13; STEREO COMP. 

•  

 Press the BYPASS switch to the IN position so that the green 
LED is on. 

• 

 Turn up the SENSITIVITY control until you reach 12 to 24 dB of gain reduction.

• 

 Engage the ENHANCER switch and listen to how the high end is restored.

 The C com 16 features a KEY insert jack which allows you to externally control the 
compressors trigger signal.  Using the KEY insert jack, you can patch in an external 
processor to affect the compressors trigger. A typical application for external process-
ing of the KEY signal is inserting a graphic equalizer to filter. The KEY insert jack is 
internally wired so the TIP is the KEY SEND and the RING is the KEY RETURN.
