4. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

4.1 Асноўныя аперацыі

The SPL BIG module allows for intuitive control over stereo imaging. Experiment with the controls to achieve the desired sonic effect for your audio material.

4.2 Элементы кіравання і індыкатары

• Абыходны пераключальнік: This toggle switch engages or disengages the stereo image processing. When engaged (ON), the audio signal passes through the unit without any processing. When disengaged (OFF), the BIG module's effects are active.
• Кантроль дыяпазону: This rotary knob adjusts the frequency range that is primarily affected by the stereo image processing. Turning the knob clockwise increases the frequency range, allowing for broader or more focused stereo enhancement.
• Stagэлектроннае кіраванне: This rotary knob modifies the perceived depth of the stereo image. Settings towards 'BACK' tend to narrow the soundstage, while settings towards 'FRONT' expand the perceived depth and width.
• Пераключальнік баса: This toggle switch activates or deactivates the dedicated bass processing. Engaging this switch can enhance the low-end presence and impact without necessarily affecting the stereo width of the higher frequencies.
• Bigness Control: This large rotary knob is the primary control for adjusting the overall stereo width and spaciousness. Turning it clockwise increases the intensity of the stereo widening effect, making the sound appear larger and more expansive.
• L/R Sig LEDs: These indicator lights illuminate to show the presence of audio signals in the left (L) and right (R) channels, confirming that audio is passing through the module.

5. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

5.1 Ачыстка

To clean the unit, use a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.

5.2 Захоўванне

When not in use for extended periods, store the SPL BIG module in a dry, dust-free environment, ideally within its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage from dust, moisture, or physical impact.

6. Выпраўленне непаладак

6.1 Агульныя праблемы і рашэнні

• Няма аўдыявыхаду:
  • Check all cable connections between the 500 series rack and your audio interface/mixer.
  • Ensure the 500 series rack is powered on and receiving power.
  • Verify that the Bypass switch on the SPL BIG module is not engaged if you expect processed audio.
  • Confirm that an input signal is present and routed correctly to the 500 series rack slot.
• No Stereo Imaging Effect:
  • Ensure the Bypass switch on the module is disengaged (OFF).
  • Adjust the Range, Stage, and Bigness controls to higher settings to hear the effect more prominently.
  • Verify that the input signal being fed to the module is indeed a stereo signal. Mono signals will not exhibit stereo imaging effects.
• Unwanted Noise or Distortion:
  • Праверце ўсе кабельныя злучэнні на правільнасць размяшчэння і цэласнасць.
  • Ensure input levels are not too high, causing clipping in the 500 series rack or the BIG module.
  • Test the module in a different slot of the 500 series rack or a different rack if available, to rule out rack-related issues.
