QUICK START - IF YOU JUST CAN’T WAIT

The C300 is a compressor/de-esser
-
gate/exp
ander with two independent channels
that can be routed either in serial (stereo) or
dual mono mode.
Routings
The C300 has two routing options. Dual Mono
or Stereo/Serial. The Routing mode is set on
the C300 front panel on the far left.
Dual mono
- where C300 is split and operates as two 100%
separate mono engines. A typical application for
this mode is using the two engines as insert
effects on two different channels.
Stereo/Serial Mode
- utilizing both effect engines in serial. Engine
1 is feeding Engine 2. This is the mode to
choose if you wish to process a signal with both

processing engines. Note that this routing
works for both a stereo setup but also a single
mono setup. Typically you would use one
engine as a gate/expander and the other as de-
esser or compressor/limiter. But note that any
combination of effects is possible as the
engines operate independently.
Make all appropriate connections. You may
refer to the examples on pages 10-12.
Decide application and set Routing
accordingly.
Set MIX to 100% for normal compression.
Any setting between 0 and 100% utilizes the
C300 “new compression style”, based on
parallel compression. Read the section “New
Style Compression”
Select desired processing type on the two
Engines.
Start playing.
Feed the C300 channels with an appropriate
level. The yellow -3 LED should only be lit at
peaks. The level is set on the sending device.
Set MIX depending on your intentions and
selected effect.
Now tweak the THRESHOLD, MAKE-UP
GAIN and RATIO controls for the two
engines until you have the intended result.
