FRONT PANEL
POWER key
On/Off switch for the unit.
INPUT LEVEL knob
Adjusts the Input level.
Range is -6dB to +18dB.
INPUT/OUTPUT meters
Peak meter showing Input and
Output level. The meter range is:
0, -3, -6 ,-12, -18, -24, -40dB.
For the Stereo version this meter
is common for both channels.
INPUT OVERLOAD LED
The OVERLOAD LED indicates
one of two situations: The Input
level is too hot and therefore over-
loading or there is an internal DSP
overflow. The OVERLOAD LED is
lit when 1 sample is @ 0dBFS.
OUTPUT OVERLOAD LED
Indicates that the Output is too
hot. This will occur if e.g. too
much gain has been added
through the TRIPLE•C.
The OVERLOAD LED is lit when
1 sample is @ 0dBFS.
INPUT - Analog/Digital
Indicates whether the TRIPLE•C is
set to analog or digital Input.
When set to digital Input, the
Sample Rate automatically
switches to DI. In case of no or
unacceptable clock the "Digital"
and "DI" icon will be blinking.
SYNC
Indicates the current clock of
the TRIPLE•C. When locked to
an external clock, the "DI" icon
is lit and the incoming Sample
Rate is displayed by either the
44.1 or 48 icon.
If no or unacceptable clock is
available, the "Digital" and "DI"
icons will be blinking.
LINK indicator
Indicates that the unit is linked
to a second TRIPLE•C.
MIDI
When MIDI information is
received the MIDI icon will
blink.
Gain Metering
The Gain meter indicates the
total gain through the TRIPLE•C
and simultaneously shows the
gain reduction.
Envelope Section
Indicates the setting of the
Envelope Mode. Please see
Envelope chapter in the
manual for further information.
TRIG
Indicates when the Envelope
function is processing the
incoming signal.
LIMIT
When the LIMIT LED is lit the
Envelope Softclipper is active.
MULTI-BAND OFF key
Turns the Multi-band mode
on/off i.e. activates the full
band mode. When the LED is lit
the Multi-band algo is inactive.
PEAK SENSITIVE key
The TRIPLE•C is basically an
RMS based Compressor, mean-
ing that it responds to average
level of the incoming source
material. This key turns the
TRIPLE•C into a Peak based
Compressor. When the LED is
lit the TRIPLE•C is in Peak
mode. This feature is only
available in Multi-band mode.
SOFTLIM key
Activates/deactivates the Soft-
Limiter in the Output section
When the LED is lit, the Soft-
Limiter is active.
