DYN-4 Question

[The Real Deanc2000]

If there is only one split, ie one cross over point, then it's only 2 bands. Right?

Why are there 4 bands, but only one cross over point? You can only use 2 bands at a time. Am I missing something?

There are only two bands, High and Low, run though 4 serial devices

Non Split:

Code: Select all

In > D1 > D2 > D3 > D4 > Out

Or

High / Low Split:

Code: Select all

In > Split > D1-H > D2-H > D3-H > D4-H > Mix > Out
         V > D1-L > D2-L > D3-L > D4-L > ^

Oh, finally we know how it works!

If there only was some patch matrix to choose which band goes where and in which order, or at least a fixed SPLIT routing like H->D1->D2 and L->D3->D4. That'd be much more useful.

Thx, I was looking for a manual, but this answers my question!

Still don't get it. I can't be that stupid?!

So, If I split at 150hz for example, the first two slots going from up are Low band and second two(3,4) are high band. Am I right?

No, all 4 slots <150hz is Low and all 4 slots >150hz is High.

Still don't get it. Why would I split into 2bands and apply the same settings on both bands? Or is this just a low filter, so everything below 150hz is unafected and everything above is processed?

Please help. This stupidity is making me anxious.

The benefit is that strong signal peaks in one range, passing the threshold and triggering the compression, will not cause the other frequency range to also be compressed. It is common with regular single-band compressors for the highs to be "swallowed" (attenuated too much) when a low note triggers the compression, as the compressor will reduce the signal levels of everything at that moment.

Oh yes. Wow, I knew I was missing something obvious. Yes, I completely understand. Had to try it on a couple of different setups. This is going to be very useful in some situations. Glad I purchased it. Panda is awesome.
