Dynamics Cassette
(Part number SMN 812 – 412)
The assembly number is either AM 5583 (8-bit systems) or AM 5645
(32-bit systems).
The Dynamics cassette provides 8 channels with Dynamics processing
(Compressor and Gate, including the provision of an external Key Input).
This external Key Input is available on both the Gate and Compressor.
Without this card, the DYN button (and led) on each channel strip will not
function.
The DYN button under the on the Monitor Panel will also be locked out.
When the Dynamics cassette is present, the parameters are set using the
four encoders on the Monitor Panel.
Installation Instructions
• Remove the power to the console.
• Ensure the switch settings have been set correctly for this card's
position.
See Appendix A for the Switch Settings on page 226.
• Remove the ventilation facing plate on the rear of the console, and
remove the Key Input blanking plate in the centre.
• Slide the Dynamics cassette into the middle slot and push the card
firmly to the rear until the connectors mate securely onto the
backplane.
• Screw the faceplate back into place, ensuring the Key Input D-type
connector and two adjacent pillars comfortably clear the faceplate
surface.
• Secure the Key Input D-type connector in place through the faceplate
using the pillars and two screws.
Operational Considerations
If you have an EQ processing cassette installed, it will only be possible to
place the EQ on the Channel path or the Monitor path on a channel, not
across both.
Likewise, the Compressor and Gate can only exist on the Channel or
Monitor path.
It is not possible to have the Compressor on the Input and the Gate on
the Monitor path (or vice versa).
