FUNCTION SWITCHES

SC Ext.:

Routes the external sidechain input signal to the detector

SC Mon:

Routes the sidechain signal to the output, interrupting the normal audio

OverEasyÆ:

Activates the OverEasy compression function

Contour:

Activates the frequency-dependent detector function

Auto:

Activates automatic program-dependent attack and release times, disabling the manual Attack and Release controls

I/O Meter:

Switches between monitoring input and output levels on the Input/Output Level meter

Bypass:

Activates the direct input-to-output hard-wire relay bypass. Relay automatically hard-wire bypasses unit at power-down and provides a power-on delay of 1.5 sec.

Operating Level (rear panel):

Switches the nominal operating level between -10 dBV and +4 dBu simultaneoulsy for both input and output levels

ST Link:

Link both channels for stereo operation. Channel One becomes the master
