X-Rack Dynamics User’s Guide

This documentation package contains the User’s Guide for your new X-Rack Dynamics

module. Depending on the age of your X-Rack, these pages may already be present in your

X-Rack Owner’s Manual – please check to see if these pages match your Manual. If they do

not, these pages should be filed alongside it.

Note. There may be a newer version of the X-Rack Owner’s Manual available for download from our

X-Rack Dynamics Module D. Dynamics Module D.1 Connection The module input and output gains can be set to operate at a nominal level of either +4dBu or –10dBV, using a switch on the connector panel. Select the appropriate level for the equipment you are connecting to. If in doubt experiment! IN To check the input and output gains, set the compressor RATIO and THRESHOLD controls fully clockwise and send a signal close to the nominal operating level of your mixer or DAW to the dynamics module.

X-Rack Owner’s Manual FST ATT – Normally, a controlled linear attack time of 1.5ms per 40dB is provided. Press this button to select a fast attack time (100µs per 40dB). The attack time is the time taken for the Gate/Expander to ‘recover’ once the signal level is above the threshold. When gating signals with a steep rising edge, such as drums, a slow attack may effectively mask the initial ‘THWACK’, so you should be aware of this when selecting the appropriate attack time.

X-Rack Dynamics Module D.3 Performance Specification The following pages contain audio performance specification figures for the X-Rack Dynamics Module. No other Solid State Logic products are covered by this document and the performance of other Solid State Logic products can not be inferred from the data contained herein. D.3.1 Measurement Conditions For each set of figures on the following pages, the specific unit and test setup will be stated at the beginning of that section.

X-Rack Owner’s Manual D.3.5 Measurement Conditions Signal applied to Input, output measured at Output. All pots anti-clockwise and switches ‘out’ except for Dynamics ‘IN’. THD + N (+10dBu applied) < 0.01% at 1kHz Output Headroom > +26dBu at onset of clipping Frequency Response ±0.2dB from 20Hz to 20kHz –3dB at 130kHz Noise < –88dBu Signal at +20dBu applied to Input, Compressor Threshold set at –20, Compressor Ratio adjusted to give +4dBu at Output. RMS sensing mode selected.

X-Rack Dynamics Module D.4.3 Compressor Threshold Adjustment: 1. Connect the level meter to the Output and set the oscillator level for –28.35dBu. 2. Measure the DC voltage at test point TP14 relative to 0VA and adjust VR9 (COMP_THOLD) for 0V ±10mV. D.4.4 Compressor Law Adjustment: 1. Set the oscillator level for +20dBu. 2. Connect the level meter to the Output. Check for +20dBu ±0.5dB. 3. Set the compressor ratio control fully clockwise and press in the compressor FST ATT and PK switches. 4.
