User manual SABINE FBX SOLO SL-610

[. . . ] OPERATING GUIDE SL-610 SM-610 The Sabine FBX-SOLO models SM-610 and SL-610. CONGRATULATIONS!The Sabine FBX-SOLO gives you automatic real-time feedback control for any channel on your mix, makes your system louder, and increases the clarity of your mains and monitors. It includes a user-selectable noise gate, especially useful in systems with a number of open microphones, such as courtrooms or conference rooms. The FBX-SOLO incorporates the latest in design and digital signal processing technology. [. . . ] A noise gate is especially useful in systems that have a number of open microphones, such as courtrooms, conference rooms, or parliament buildings. Gating microphones greatly reduces the number of possible feedback points in the room and allows for more system gain. The level that turns the noise gate on and off is called the threshold. If the level coming into the gate is greater than the threshold, the noise gate opens, and the mic is turned on. If it is less than the threshold, the noise gate closes, and the mic is turned off. You can adjust your SOLO to four different threshold levels (see diagram at right), or turn it off. Select the threshold level by pressing the LOCK FIXED button again when the clip LED lights at the corresponding threshold level. The noise gate is now enabled, indicated by a flashing level LED on powerup. Pressing the LOCK FIXED button with no clip LEDs lighted turns off the noise gate. When the SOLO's noise gate is enabled, it will not become engaged until after you've set all fixed filters and one dynamic filter (if the SOLO is configured for any). USING SABINE'S OPTIONAL SOLO ACCESSORIES 1-U rack tray (model #SL6RACK): An optional 1-U rack tray holds up to six SOLOs. Mount the SL-610s, SM-610s, or a combination of both side by side on the tray. Use only Sabine supplied screws; use of any other screws may damage the SOLO and void the warranty. 7 SL-610 Front & Back Panels ACTIVE/BYPASS Bypass mode takes the unit out of the signal path so that it will have no effect on the program. The two-color "BY" LED lights green when the unit is in Active mode and lights red when in Bypass mode. RESET Press until the LEDs stop flashing to reset or clear all filters. FILTER ACTIVITY When one of the unit's filters is activated, the corresponding LED lights. LOCK FIXED FILTERS When the "LOCK FIXED" button is pressed, its LED will light to indicate that the FBX is in "LOCK FIXED" mode. "LOCK FIXED" mode can be activated at any time after system setup and will stay on until the button is pressed again and the LED turns off. 12VDC ADAPTOR The FBX external power supply (single unit power supply; model #S-PSU1) is included with the unit. Use of any other power supplies may cause permanent damage to the unit and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. INPUTS & OUTPUTS The connector labeled IN/OUT serves as both the unit's input (tip) and output (ring) when used with a single TRS plug. When used with a Y-cord, use the IN/OUT as the input and the OUTPUT as the output. FILTER WIDTH SWITCH Switch to narrow 1/10-octave filters for music applications or to wider 1/5-octave filters for spoken word applications.
