Connecting the AC Power Adapter

A) Slide the power adapter cable into the cord cinch as shown above, leaving a few inches of cable between the cinch and the cable’s small metal barrel connector.

B) Plug the barrel connector into the power supply jack.

C) After all other connections are made, plug the power pack into a suitable source of AC line voltage. (See the sticker on the power adapter for voltage requirements.) NOTE: Since the SM4-CL is "always on" when the power pack is plugged in to a live outlet, it is advised that you unplug the power pack (or turn off the AC source) when not using the unit for extended time periods.

Reccomended Initial Settings

1) Patch the SM4-CL into the signal path. (For example, into the insert jack of a mixing board, between a mic preamp and mixer input, between a mixer and power amp, or between a line level output and a line level input.)

2) Set the controls of the SM4-CL as shown in each example. Use the Active switch to compare the level of the compressed signal with the original and adjust the Output control as needed.
