1.6 FAT
This is a soft knee-type compressor with auto gain make
up and program-dependent adjustment of time constants.
Though that sounds pretty complicated, handling is as

Though that sounds pretty complicated, handling is as
easy as it is effective: Far left setting = zero compression. Twist the knob
clockwise to dial in everything from slight compression to ultra fat signals.
An LED provides visual indication of compression amounts.

SIGNAL COMPRESSION
As first impressions go, the FAT knob may not bowl you ever, but it
puts a bona fide analog compressor at your fingertips. And though it
brings considerable sound-shaping power to the T.R.I.O™, it handles
very easily. It literally lets you dial in great-sounding results for all
microphone/instrument signals at the twist of your wrist.

REC VOL. determines the level of the signal recorded to the DAW,
and not the monitoring level. Adjust the monitoring level using
the MIC/INSTR. knob in the monitor section.

PHANTOM POWER
Equipped with a robust wall wart, T.R.I.O is able to provide 48 V phan-
tom power that is stable enough to satisfy the demanding require-
ments of high-quality capacitor microphones.

Most condenser microphones will work with less than 48 volts.
However, any reduction in voltage lowers the peak gain level and
degrades sound quality.

LOW CUT attenuates bass frequencies. This feature serves to filter
out low-frequency noise, for example, footsteps or popping noises
associated with close-miking vocals.

The INSERT SEND may also be employed as an aux send, for
example, to address an external reverb unit.

What’s more, you can connect a tuning device to INSERT SEND.
This way, an instrument’s tuning can be checked and adjusted on
the fly without unplugging it.

The signal of an external device (for instance, EN-VOICE®) may be

post EQ/compressor, this option lets you bypass the T.R.I.O™‘s
input stage and EQ/compressor. The external signal is routed
directly to the A/D converter and into the monitor section.
