Introduction T he 8051 is an analogue compressor that provides six transformer balanced audio paths complemented by two sidechains and a key input. Input and output to the sidechains is assignable to and from the six channels. Assignable LFE filters on the input and sidechains along with the key input provide integrated bass management.
Dimensions Units U Depth mm (inches) Height mm (inches) Approx. Weight kg (lbs) 8051 Compressor (AM4851 and AM5292) not including mains plug 3 500 (20) 135 (5.25) 10.5 (23) Rack Mounting and Cooling The rack units should be installed in a 19" cabinet with access to the front and rear.
Rear Panel Connectors - Mating connectors are not supplied with these units. CONTROL VOLTAGE I/O - 15 Pin D-Type KEY INPUT - XLR Socket INPUT 1-6 - XLR Socket OUTPUT 1-6 - XLR Plug - These connectors apply to both the Standard and Mastering Compressor (AM4851 & AM5292).
Compressor Controls LFE Filter (Filter to Channel) A 12dB/octave low-pass filter can be assigned to any one channel. This filter is applied directly to the input before the relay-bypass point, and its -3dB frequency is selectable from 80, 100 or 120Hz.
Bypass All channels have relay bypass. Bypass is from the output of the LFE filter to the input of the Output Level Control * . If a channel routed to a sidechain is bypassed, its connection to the sidechain is maintained.
Sidechain Link The sidechain link buttons route audio from each channel's sidechain audio path into one or both of the sidechain timing circuits. If a single channel's SC LINK A or B button is pressed, that channel will behave as a mono compressor.
Control Link While the SC link buttons control the audio inputs to each sidechain, the CV link buttons choose where the D.C. control voltage generated by each sidechain is routed. The CV link buttons also determine which gain makeup control affects each channel, in the same way that the SC link buttons assign the threshold controls.
SC Trims and Threshold Thresholds for each channel are determined by sidechain path gain which is applied in two stages. The two main threshold controls are first assigned to each channel with the SC Link buttons, providing a base threshold level for each of the sidechains.
EXT Control The EXT buttons provide an insert point in the control voltage signal, after the bias control but before routing back to the channels. During normal operation the control voltages generated by the sidechain are internally connected to the CV Link switched for routing back to the channels.
Threshold Threshold is the level above which compression begins. Each channel linked to a sidechain (using the SC Link buttons) takes that sidechain's threshold. If a channel is linked to sidechains A and B the lower value of the two controls is used.
Attack This is the time between a signal 6dB above the threshold level being applied, and the output signal falling to within 2dB of its final level. With slower attack settings compression is more dependant on the average signal level, while with faster settings it is more dependant on the peaks.
Key Input A Key Input is provided to allow adjustable control from an external source. Like the sidechains the key input has a threshold level control ranging from -20 to +16 to set the intended level at which compression control is required.
Mastering Compressor Controls (AM5292) The 8051 Mastering Compressor is slightly different to the standard 8051 in 2 ways: q It has 21 position detented pots for the Trim and Bias controls to aid total mechanical recall of the unit.
8051 Compressor - 88R(S) Console mounted AM5052 - As this unit is designed for fixed 5.1 compressor applications in an 88R(S) console the EXT A CTRL and EXT B CTRL controls are not selectable (blank buttons).

Specifications I/O The key input and LFE filter inputs are electronically balanced with an input impedance of 10kohms. All other inputs are transformer balanced with 3.6kohms input impedances. All outputs are electronically balanced post the output transformers, with maximum output of +26dBu into 600ohms.

Een belangrijk punt na aankoop van elk apparaat AMS 8051 (of zelfs voordat je het koopt) is om de handleiding te lezen. Dit moeten wij doen vanwege een paar simpele redenen:
Als u nog geen AMS 8051 heb gekocht dan nu is een goed moment om kennis te maken met de basisgegevens van het product. Eerst kijk dan naar de eerste pagina\'s van de handleiding, die je hierboven vindt. Je moet daar de belangrijkste technische gegevens AMS 8051 vinden. Op dit manier kan je controleren of het apparaat aan jouw behoeften voldoet. Op de volgende pagina's van de handleiding AMS 8051 leer je over alle kenmerken van het product en krijg je informatie over de werking. De informatie die je over AMS 8051 krijgt, zal je zeker helpen om een besluit over de aankoop te nemen.
In een situatie waarin je al een beziter van AMS 8051 bent, maar toch heb je de instructies niet gelezen, moet je het doen voor de hierboven beschreven redenen. Je zult dan weten of je goed de alle beschikbare functies heb gebruikt, en of je fouten heb gemaakt die het leven van de AMS 8051 kunnen verkorten.
Maar de belangrijkste taak van de handleiding is om de gebruiker bij het oplossen van problemen te helpen met AMS 8051 . Bijna altijd, zal je daar het vinden Troubleshooting met de meest voorkomende storingen en defecten #MANUAl# samen met de instructies over hun opplosinge. Zelfs als je zelf niet kan om het probleem op te lossen, zal de instructie je de weg wijzen naar verdere andere procedure, bijv. door contact met de klantenservice of het dichtstbijzijnde servicecentrum.
