Rane Car Stereo System DC225 Manual Do Utilizador

Manual-1

Shredded, this document makes excellent packing material. In 

its present form, it makes interesting and useful reading. If you 

run out of patience quickly, at least read this part to make sure 

you don’t exterminate everything within a two mile radius by 

doing something wrong.

First, be sure the POWER switch is off. Attach one or two 

channels of Inputs and Outputs to the respective connectors on 

the rear. This device uses low impedance balanced line drivers. Do 

unused output pin (“+” or “–”) unterminated. OK, now you can 

power up your sound system, volumes down, amp turned on last.

With the GATE THRESHOLD turned all the way down to 

, COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD turned all the way 

up to 20 dBu,  COMPRESSOR RATIO turned all the way 

down to 1, and the OUTPUT LEVEL control in the center at 0 

 you have an expensive patch cord.

While sending a signal to the DC 22S, adjust the output 

level of the previous device so the +4 dBu LED lights occasion-

ally, but the OL LED does not light. If you are driving the ¼" 

WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

STEREO COMPRESSOR

INPUTS with a balanced signal (tip-ring-sleeve), set the Input 

Gain switch to +4 dBu (in). When driving this input with an 

unbalanced signal (tip-sleeve), set this switch to –10 dBv (out). 

Regardless of the type of Input, you might need to set this switch 

so the INPUT LEVEL LEDs light correctly.

Now increase the COMPRESSOR RATIO to something 

useful, like 2:1 (with the control set at 2, the Ratio is 2:1; at 5, it 

is 5:1.) Adjust the COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD to the point 

you want the Compressor to kick in. The GAIN REDUCTION 

meter reads the amount of signal compression.

If you want the quiet parts to be even quieter, increase the 

so only higher levels make it through the 

Gate.

Both Gates and Compressors will activate by the source 

material applied to either channel if the LINK switch is on. This 

is the preferred setting for stereo program material. The chan-

nel 1 controls set both channels to the same adjustments, as the 

channel 2 controls go dormant and the LEDs extinguish. If 

the LINK switch is off, then both channels are independently 

controllable.
