Auto/Direct Mode Selection; Compressor/Leveller System - AKG AS8 Bedienungsanleitung

AS8/AS8TC
applied to all channels, in addition to the attenuation applied individually by the channel remote
level controls. In the Remote mode, the meter shows the current attenuation setting and reflects
changes made using the Main scroll bar. In the Local mode , the meter reflects the amount of
attenuation from the Main Remote terminals on the rear of the AS8.
Main scroll bar - adjusts the Main attenuation level. Main attenuation is common to all channels,
and is best used when system wide level control is desired. The total attenuation for a given chan­
nel is the sum of the Main and Channel attenuations. The Main Remote meter reflects the changes
made to the Main attenuation with the Main scroll bar. This scroll bar is only enabled when the
Remote radio button is selected.
Ch1-8 scroll bars - adjusts the individual channel attenuation levels. Channel attenuation is spe­
cific to each channels, and is used when level adjustments need to be made on a per channel
basis. The Remote Lev meters for each channel reflect the changes made to the Channel attenu­
ation with the Channel scroll bar. These scroll bars are only enabled when the Remote radio button
is selected.

Auto/Direct Mode Selection

The Auto/Direct mode subsystem allows remote indication and selection of the operational mode
of each channel. The following are the controls and indicators used in this subsystem:
Remote radio button - allows the chosen subsystem to be controlled from the host computer. The
corresponding controls on the AS8 are disabled. If the subsystem is left in the Remote mode when
the control panel application is closed, the affected controls on the AS8 will continue to be dis­
abled, and the subsystem parameters last stored in the AS8 nonvolatile memory will be used.
Local radio button - allows the chosen subsystem to be controlled locally from the AS8.The control
panel will echo the settings from the AS8 for that subsystem.
Ch1-8 radio buttons - allow the current operational mode of each channel to be set remotely
(provided the Remote radio button is selected). If the Local radio button is selected, the Ch1-8
radio buttons indicate the channel modes as determined by the rear panel mode dip switch on
the AS8.

Compressor/Leveller System

The Compressor/Leveller subsystem allows remote indication and control of the AS8s' compressor/
leveller system. The following are the controls and indicators used in this subsystem:
Remote radio button - allows the chosen subsystem to be controlled from the host computer. The
corresponding controls on the AS8 are disabled. If the subsystem is left in the Remote mode when
the control panel application is closed, the affected controls on the AS8 will continue to be dis­
abled, and the subsystem parameters last stored in the AS8 nonvolatile memory will be used.
Local radio button - allows the chosen subsystem to be controlled locally from the AS8.The control
panel will echo the settings from the AS8 for that subsystem.
