Transpressor
Rear Panel
Inputs and Outputs
Input
The balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs serve to connect signal sources to the Transpressor.
The Line inputs’ maximum input level is +21 dBu.
The XLR and 1/4" inputs are connected in parallel, which means that they should not be used
simultaneously.
Use the “+4 dBu/-10 dBV” switch to change the input sensitivity. Low level signals are ampli-
fied approximately 7.8 dB at the input stage when the sensitivity is set to -10 dB.
Sidechain
Use this mono input to control the compressor’s side chain with an external source. This input
jack is mono and unbalanced. You can connect signal sources, effects processors, etc. to this
input.
Please refer to “Detector/Ext SC, OFF, FILTER“ on page 16 for more information on how to use
the side chain.
Stereo Link/Slave
Use this RJ 45 connector to link two Transpressors in order to work in stereo mode. Use 568 A
Ethernet cables exclusively. Do not use cables of any other type to avoid malfunctioning.
Please refer to “LINK SLAVE” on page 18 for more information on the STEREO LINK/SLAVE
function.
WARNING: Never plug computer network cables to this connector. The voltage present at the
STEREO LINK/SLAVE connector of the Transpressor is enough to damage common computer
network components.
Output 1 & Output 2
The Transpressor outputs an analog signal via the electronically balanced OUTPUTs 1 and 2.
Having two outputs can be very convenient to feed several channels of a mixing console or
a DAW simultaneously. Each output has its own driving stage to avoid mutual interference
when used in parallel.
The OUTPUT 2 1/4" jack is connected in parallel to the XLR plug, so it should only be used as an
alternative output, i.e. the OUTPUT 2 1/4" jack and XLR plug should never be used simultane-
ously.
