||
CMRR according to IEC | > 40 dB, siehe Diagram Output CMRR vs Frequency | ||
Gain | 0 dB +/- 0.3 dB at offenem Gate | ||
Frequency Response |
20 Hz - 50 kHz +/- 0.2 dB no Regulation - see Diagram Frequency Response |
||
Bandwidth | < 10 Hz to > 150 kHz | ||
Phase Response | 20 Hz-20 kHz < +6/-10° linear setting - see Diagram Phase Response |
||
THD | < + 28 dBu, 40 Hz ... 20 kHz, < 0.1 %, maximum THD at + 30 dBu <1 % no Regulation THD under regulation is determined by the frequency, taack and release settings, and the gain reduction |
||
Dynamic Range / Noise | |||
RMS 22Hz-22kHz | <= -91 dBu at offenem Gate | ||
total Dynamic Range | referring to the RMS Value 22Hz-22kHz >= 121 dB with gate open |
||
Control Voltage Feedthru | > 70 dB | ||
Threshold | Control Range + 20 dB to - 40 dB, referring to + 6 dBu | ||
Threshold Hysterese | 'Gate zu' nach 'Gate auf' and 'Gate auf' nach 'Gate zu < 0.2 dB | ||
Range | Attenuation with Gate closed Control Range from 0 dB (Gate Off) to 70 dB |
||
Attack | Attack time control Control Range 0.01 ms to 20 ms (with short attack time settings, the attack time is determined by the frequency of the key signal) |
||
Release | Release time control for 20 dB attenuation Control Range 50 ms to 3 s The release time start at the end of the hold time |
||
Hold | Hold time control keeps the gate open when the input level drops below threshold . Control Range 20 ms to 2 s |
||
Key Insert | electronically balanced insert input and output with identical specs as the audio inputs and outputs. Allows to include external processing devices into the control loop. Activated by push-pull switch of the range control. |
||
Side Chain Filters | Wide range high-pass and low-pass filters in the noise gate side chain. Both filters have 12 dB/oct steepness. | ||
Side Chain Low-Pass | Control Range 40 Hz to 8 kHz | ||
Side Chain High-Pass | Control Range 15 kHz to 50 Hz | ||
Side Chain Listen (SCL) | Switches the input of the side chain to the output. Allows easy control of the filter adjustment as well as the control of external processing gear at the key input. Activated by the push-pull switch of the Range pot. | ||
Display | Displays the Gate Status and the Gainreduction with 5 LED's Green LED - Gate open Yellow LED - Hold Time running Red LED's (3 ), Gain reduction Display at 12 dB, 20 dB and 30 dB |
||
Bypass Circuitry | Hardbypass by Relay | ||
*) The standard supply current is the supply current under realitic operation conditions. If the outputs are loaded with the minium load resistors and the level is at + 30 dBu, the supply current increases by 30 mA per output. The standard supply current shuold be used to calculate the necessary power supply capacity of a system. | |||
