User manual ROLLS RP583

[. . . ] Set the level to the Compressor by speaking or singing into the microphone at the same level that it will be used during performance. Set the Meter switch to Output, and adjust the gain control on your mixer so the RP583 meter moves to approximately 0. See diagram below for settings. OUTPUT LEVEL -20 THRESHOLD -10 4:1 RATIO 5:1 ATTACK RELEASE Congratulations on choosing the Bellari RP583 Studio Tube Compressor/ Limiter. [. . . ] Connect your RP583 to the insert of your mixer and set the input level as directed above. Shown below is an example of a typical drum compression setting.

Threshold: Sets the level at which the income signal must overcome in order for the RP583 to begin compressing. Ratio: The signal to compression ratio - sets the amount of increase in input signal required to raise the output signal 1 dB. Attack: Varies the amount of time taken for the RP583 to begin compressing once the Threshold level has been reached. Release: Varies the amount of time taken for the RP583 to return to normal gain once the signal has dropped below the Threshold level. Stereo Link Switch: Links the detector circuits of both channels together. NOTE: CHANNEL TWO BECOMES THE MASTER CHANNEL. REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION Note: Channel One descriptions are identical to Channel Two Outputs: XLR balanced and 1/4" unbalanced connectors for connecting the RP583 to a mixer or other line level input. Side Chain Input: 1/4" unbalanced jack for receiving incoming signals to directly access the detector circuit of the compressor. Side Chain Output: 1/4" unbalanced jack for sending out the signal from the RP583. Note: The Side Chain Inputs and Outputs are not effects loops, they break the signal path of the RP583 control circuits. Inputs: XLR balanced and 1/4" unbalanced connectors for connecting line level signals to the RP583. SERIAL NUMBER MODEL RP583 583- CAUTION 120 VAC 50/60 Hz 15 VA RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN OUTPUT SIDE CHAIN INPUT OUTPUT SIDE CHAIN INPUT WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN Meter Switch: Switches the signal metering from indicating the output jack level, to indicating the amount of gain reduction. VU Meter: Indicates either the output signal level, or the amount of gain reduction, depending on the position of the Meter Switch. NOTE: THE INPUT SIGNAL LEVEL MAY ALSO BE METERED BY PRESSING OUT THE ACTIVE SWITCH, THUS BYPASSING THE COMPRESSOR CIRCUITS. Power Switch: Turns the RP583 main power on and off. OR MOISTURE.
