12. Voltage Selector and Fuse holder

Please make sure about the voltage available in your Country before connecting the unit to the AC socket. Please

consult with a qualified Engineer to change the fuse or to change the AC Voltage operation on the CLE 4.

4.1.1 The Threshold Control

Choose +4dBu when using CLE 4.0 in professional recording studios or -10dBV when using home recording eq-

uipment. The Input/Output Meter will automatically self-adjust to the chosen Operating Level.

Sophisticated Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA) are responsible of the control of dynamics in the CLE 4.0 The

operating range of our VCA is more than 60dB. This mean that the input level or the output level can be increased

or decreased in a range of 60dB. Signals below the set threshold will not be reduced, so the dynamic control will

be activated as soon as the signal exceed the threshold level. Gain reduction will be proportioned to the amount

of the signal above the set threshold level.

The compressor threshold control sets the point where the input level starts to be reduced. Let's say the level

is +12dBu and the threshold control is set at +2dBu: In this case up to 10dB can be compressed. If the input

level is the same and the control is set at -10dBu the maximum compression will be 22dB, The operating

range of the threshold control is -40 to +20dBu. Turn the threshold control fully clockwise and you will get a

threshold level of +20dBu.

You must remember that the degree and the type of compression not only depend by the threshold control

but also by other controls such as Ratio, Attack and Release.

When the Limiter is active, this LED will flash up.

The threshold Level for the Limiter will be adjusted by this control
