Full warranty information for equipment supplied directly by Solid State Logic can be found on our website: www.solidstatelogic.com -3- Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this API 500 format compatible SSL UltraViolet Stereo Equaliser Module. This module has been specifically designed to operate in a 500 format rack such as the API lunchbox� or equivalent. In common with many such modules, the nominal input/output level is +4 dBu. The SSL UltraViolet 500 Series Stereo EQ takes the acclaimed minimum phase-shift EQ section from Fusion and puts it into the 500 Series format. The UltraViolet EQ takes things a little further than Fusion by adding two dedicated mid-bands, with a unique Focus control, for ultimate EQ flexibility. An ideal partner to the legendary 500 Series SSL Bus Compressor, the UltraViolet EQ draws on the SSL legacy of careful selection of frequencies and response curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ designed to quickly dial in a radio-ready sound for your mix. Operation Please refer to the numbered front panel illustration. IN 1 The IN button switches the entire module in and out of circuit on both Left and Right Channels simultaneously. The violet LED to the left of the name will illuminate when the unit is switched IN. LF 2 and HF 3 Sections The frequency pots for each band are stepped. The LF band offers choices of 30Hz, 50Hz, 70Hz or 90Hz. The HF band offers choices of 8kHz, 12kHz, 16kHz and 20kHz. The gain pots are continuous, with indents at the 12 o'clock position (0dB) and allow for �9dB of gain. Full mixes tend to benefit from a modest amount of 30Hz, 50Hz or 70Hz to add weight, whilst 8kHz and 12kHz are good starting points for adding tasteful amounts of high-end. -4- 2 LF GAIN 0 50 30 70 90 Hz UVEQ 12 8 16 20 3 HF GAIN kHz 0 -9 +9 dB -9 dB +9 U LT R A V I O L E T 1 IN FREQ .5 .7 .3 .9 .1 1.1 kHz Q FREQ 2 4 1 7 Q .6 9 kHz 4 LMF GAIN 0 5 HMF GAIN 0 -9 dB +9 6 FOCUS HPF 30 40 OFF 50 FOCUS TRIM 0 -9 dB +9 7 Hz 8 -12 dB +12 STEREO EQUALISER -5- LMF 4 and HMF 5 Sections The LMF band has a swept frequency control between 100Hz and 1.1KHz. The HMF band is also a swept frequency control between 400Hz and 6KHz. Each section has a variable `Q' control (see FOCUS section). The gain pots are continuous, with indents at the 12 o'clock position (0dB) and allow for �9dB of gain (again see FOCUS section). FOCUSTM Switches 6 Focus mode allows the user to `hone in' on problem frequencies or specific frequencies they want to accentuate using the LMF and HMF sections. Pressing the `Focus' switch in, automatically narrows the chosen Q setting further and increases the range of gain available beyond the normal +/-9 dB operation. This transforms this sweet sounding, musical SSL EQ into a more surgical tool. HPF (High Pass Filter) 7 The High Pass Filter section is an 18dB/Octave stereo filter with switched frequency options at 30 Hz, 40 Hz and 50 Hz. The OFF setting bypasses the filter circuit completely TRIM 8 The stereo TRIM control provides an output level trim adjustment with an indent at the 12 o'clock position (0dB) and allows for �12dB of stereo gain trim. This is useful to adjust the module output level to compensate for significant gain increases in the EQ sections to avoid overloading devices later in the processing signal chain. -6- LF GAIN 0 50 30 70 90 Hz UVEQ 12 8 16 20 HF GAIN kHz 0 -9 dB +9 -9 dB +9 U LT R A V I O L E T IN FREQ .5 .7 .3 .9 .1 kHz 1.1 Q FREQ 2 4 1 7 Q .6 kHz 9 LMF GAIN 0 HMF GAIN 0 -9 +9 dB FOCUS HPF 30 40 OFF 50 FOCUS TRIM 0 -9 +9 dB -12 +12 Hz dB STEREO EQUALISER -7- Visit SSL at: www.solidstatelogic.com � Solid State Logic All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions SSL� and Solid State Logic� are � registered trademarks of Solid State Logic.
