2 CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 7 2.1 FRONT PANEL BASIC LAYOUT The front panel of the EUREKA is divided into four sections – Preamplifier, Compressor, Equalizer and Master.
CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 8 Compressor Section: • Level Control (Attack, Release, Ratio, Threshold, Gain) • Soft Knee Switch • Bypass Switch • Hi-pass Sidechain Filter Equalizer Section: • .
CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 9 2.2 PREAMPLIFIER GAIN: Provides +52dB of gain for the microphone input and +44dB of gain for the instrument input. IMPEDANCE SELECTOR: Selects the amount of resi stance that is applied to the microphone input.
CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 10 XLR connector wiring for Phantom Pow er Pin 1= GND Pin 2= +48V Pin3= +48V PAD: Engaging the Pad switch provides - 20dB of attenuation with the push of a button.
CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 11 Basically, as you turn the Threshold knob counter-clockwise, the input signal is compressed. (If you have a ra tio setting of greater than 1:1.) RATIO: Sets the compression slope. This is defined as the output level versus the input level.
