1962 OPERATORS’ MANUAL

Low Fine Tune:

Continually variable 6dB per octave shelving filter, providing up to 12dB of cut

or boost. This control may be used to add 'warmth' to the signal being

processed or to moderate excessive low frequency content.

Mid Fine Tune:

Continually variable 6dB per octave bandpass control providing up to 12dB

of cut or boost. The centre frequency of 1KHz has been chosen to emphasise

'bite' or presence.

High Fine Tune:

Continually variable 6dB per octave shelving filter providing up to 12dB of cut

or boost. This control may be used to moderate excessive brightness or to

add a high frequency 'gloss'.

In:

When depressed, the push button will place the Fine Tune EQ and the

Channel Insert rear panel Jack in circuit. A red status LED indicates such a

situation. When this section is bypassed, any processor connected via the

insert point will also be bypassed.

The Fine Tune EQ controls (and any external inserted process(es)) come

before the Peak Limiter in the signal side chain. Adding gain either via EQ

boost or by external processing will result in a greater degree of limiting

unless the input gain is reduced.

ENHANCE

The 1962 includes advanced circuitry designed to enhance

transient detail by dynamically controlling the phase and

spectral content of the programme material. The LEDs

above the Enhance controls show the degree of

enhancement taking place, and turning the Enhance control

clockwise increases the amount of processed signal added

back into to the programme material. If the Enhance controls

are rotated fully clockwise and dynamic material is processed, the yellow LEDs will seem

to be illuminated constantly. In reality, dynamic enhancement will still be occurring, but the

peaks may be so close together that the LED will appear to be lit continuously.

The Enhance circuitry comes before the Peak Limiter in the signal side chain.

Although only small amounts of additional level will be generated in normal

use, high settings of the Enhance controls may result in more frequent

Limiting unless the input gain is reduced.

Low Enhance:

The low frequency enhance circuit is a level dependant filter designed to

emphasise low frequency harmonics according to the dynamic nature of the

programme material. At low signal levels, the degree of enhancement is

greater than at higher signal levels, which has the result of increasing the

subjective loudness of the material.

The control is continually variable and is designed to be adjusted so that the

LED above illuminates periodically. If the input signal is near the maximum

operating level (0dB on the input meter) then no low frequency enhance will
