Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor

used in conjunction with gain change rate, and is dened as the time after the input signal falls below the threshold during which

the autoleveler’s gain is held constant before it returns to unity gain. The purpose is to reduce the amount of gain “chatter” and

abrupt signal cutoff when the input signal is hovering around the threshold level. Advanced settings which are different than

the three Basic action settings results in a USER DEFINED display in the basic action control.

8.1k Ducker

A Ducker is used to attenuate the level of selected input channels when one or more

“Trigger” inputs have signal present. Input channels can be set to one of four ducker modes:

1.) BYPASS - no ducking action applies.

2.) DUCKED PROGRAM - signal present on other “Trigger” selected input chan-

nels act to attenuate this input channel.

3.) LOW PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel attenuates

all other inputs set to “Ducked Program”.

4.) HIGH PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel fully at-

tenuates all other inputs set to “Ducked Program”, as well as all other channels set to “Low

Priority Trigger”.

5.) FILIBUSTER - signal present on this channel fully attenuates all other channels

until the signal drops below its threshold to allow other channels to come on.

TRIGGER THRESHOLD determines the signal level on a trigger input at which

point the ducked program is attenuated. DUCKING DEPTH determines how much attenu-

ation is applied to input channels set up as ducked program.

DUCKING RELEASE determines the rate at which the attenuation returns to 0dB

after the trigger input signal has stopped.

8.1l Matrix Routing

Any input channel can be routed to any or all output channels, likewise any output channel can have as its source any or

all inputs, limited only by the installed capacity of input or output expansion modules. To route an input to an output, click and

drag from the input connect box to the desired output connect box (click and drag routing works in both directions). To delete

a connection, click on the connect line and press <Delete> on the keyboard, or right click on the connection line for the delete

prompt. To quickly perform multiple routing connections or disconnections to the current input channel, hold <Ctrl> and click

on desired individual output channel connect boxes to toggle them on or off. Anytime a connection is made, the corresponding

output mixer level is set to “-inf”, (off).

8.1m Input Remote Level Control

Each input channel can be remotely attenuated

through the back panel 0-5V Remote Level Control pins in

conjunction with the Ashly WR-1, WR-1.5, or by an Ashly

RD-8C active remote attenuator connected to the 4-pin data

connector on the back. The Remote Level Controls dialogue

box then allows arbitrary assignment of the remote’s attenuator

channels to the ne24.24M’s audio channel.
