Description Of The Device; Frontpanel - Omnitronic CL-66 Mode D'emploi

Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
When choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat,
moisture or dust. There should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of
others!
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters.
The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 45° C.
This device must only be operated in an altitude between -20 and 2000 m over NN.
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device! Rather use a soft and damp cloth.
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
Never remove the serial barcode from the device as this would make the guarantee void.
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-
circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.

COMPRESSOR-LIMITER AREA
Compressor and Limiters are signal processors that reduce the dynamic range of the signal. It prevents
signals from exceeding a given threshold level.
1. THRESHOLD (-40 dB - +20 dB)
This control sets the level of compression to input signal and thus prevents distortion and gives good
protection to your amplifier and speakers. Rotating clockwise raises the threshold, thus squeezing signals at
a higher level and reducing the amount of compression or limiting.
2. RATIO (1:1 to Infinitiy)
The ratio of the change in output level (in dB) to the change in the input level is known as the compression
ration. When this rotary VR is set at 1:1 there is no signal compression. When it is set at 2:1, any input signal
over the threshold setting is compressed to half. When it is set at Infinity : 1 any signal over the threshold
setting will be compressed completely. FIGURE A explains the comparison of compressed signals
responding to various VR settings.
