Frequently Asked Questions - Artistic Comp SE Fredenstein
How do I set the threshold on the Artistic Comp SE?
Turn the Threshold knob clockwise to lower the threshold, making compression start at lower input levels. Adjust while listening until you achieve the desired gain reduction.
What ratio should I use for vocals?
For moderate compression, try a ratio of 3:1 to 4:1. For more aggressive limiting, increase the ratio up to 20:1.
How do I bypass the compressor?
Press the Bypass switch to toggle between compressed and dry signal. In bypass mode, the unit passes audio unprocessed.
What is the sidechain filter used for?
The sidechain filter allows you to filter the signal that controls compression, often used to prevent low frequencies from triggering compression (e.g., de-essing).
Can I use the Artistic Comp SE on a mix bus?
Yes, it is suitable for mix bus compression. Use a low ratio (2:1), slow attack, and auto release to glue the mix together.
How do I connect the compressor?
Use balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS cables. Connect input from your source, output to your mixer or interface. Ensure the unit is powered on.
What does the 'Soft Knee' option do?
Soft knee gradually applies compression around the threshold, resulting in a more transparent and less noticeable effect compared to hard knee.
How do I clean the unit?
Unplug the unit and wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep ventilation slots dust-free.
What power supply does it use?
It has an internal linear power supply that can be switched between 115V and 230V AC, 50/60 Hz. Always check the voltage selector before connecting.
Is the Artistic Comp SE rack-mountable?
Yes, it is standard 19-inch rack width and 1U height. Use four screws to mount it securely in a rack.
