Guided Tour - Model 2000 Front Panel
5. Compression control - This determines the amount of compression (peak
signal reduction) by simultaneously adjusting both threshold and compression
ratio (which ranges from 2:1 to infinity [limiting]). At the fully counterclockwise
OOff� position, the circuitry is bypassed and no compression is applied (the knob
clicks when set to the OOff� position). As the knob is raised clockwise (at settings
from O1� to O�) increasing amounts of compression are applied. For more
information, see the OAbout Compression� section on page 15 of this manual.
6. Graphic Equalizer In/Out switch - When pressed in (the OIn� position), the
Model 2000Os graphic equalizer circuitry (as described in #7 below) is
operational. When pressed out (the OOut� position), it is bypassed. The
provision of this switch allows you to set up a custom equalization curve (an
equalization Opreset�) with the graphic EQ sliders, which can then be activated
with the press of a single button.
7. Graphic Equalizer - These sliders allow you to Odraw� the tonal response of
the system by adding 15 dB of boost or attenuation to ten different narrow-band
frequency areas (30 Hz, 64 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz,
5 kHz, and 8 kHz), affecting the main output signal of the Model 2000. When a
slider is at its center detented (O0�) position, the selected frequency area is
unaffected (it is said to be flat). When a slider is moved up (above the O0�
position, towards the O+15� position), the selected frequency area is boosted, and
when it is moved down (below the O0� position, towards the O-15� position), the
selected frequency area is attenuated. For more information, see the OAbout
Equalization� section on pages 13 - 14 of this manual.
8. Contour Low Pass control - This acts as a broad-band low frequency
equalizer, providing 18 dB of boost or attenuation at 100 Hz. You should
generally adjust this control (and the Contour High Pass control, described in #9
below) prior to Ofine-tuning� the system with the graphic equalizer (as described
in #7 above). For more information, see the OAbout Equalization� section on
pages 13 - 14 of this manual.
9. Contour High Pass control - This acts as a broad-band high frequency
equalizer, providing 18 dB of boost or attenuation at 10 kHz. You should
generally adjust this control (and the Contour Low Pass control, described in #8
above) prior to Ofine-tuning� the system with the graphic equalizer (as described
in #7 above). For more information, see the OAbout Equalization� section on
pages 13 - 14 of this manual.
10. Master Volume control - This is the overall volume control. For best
signal-to-noise ratio, keep the output of your bass at or near maximum and
adjust the ampOs Master Volume to the desired level.
11. Power LED- Lights whenever the Model 2000 is powered on.
12. Power switch - Use this to power the Model 2000 on or off.
