SONIC ULTRAMIZER SU9920 Controls

Controls

CLIP – This LED is constantly lit when the input level is too high. If it lights up for a short period of time it is warning you of an impending overdrive. There is a safety headroom of 3 dB before the signal becomes distorted. The LED should not light up.
LEDs – The four LEDs display the output level in 10 dB steps. Regular illumination of the 0 dB LED indicates an optimal output level.
PROCESS – With this control the portion of high-frequency signals to be processed by the SU9920 is specified. The MAX setting corresponds to a level boost of +12 dB at 5 kHz.
LOW CONTOUR – This control adjusts the portion of low-frequency signals to be processed by the SU9920. The MAX setting corresponds to a level boost of +12 dB at 50 Hz.
IN/OUT – With this switch signal processing is activated and deactivated. The LED lights up in the active operating mode.
POWER.
