Information

The Symetrix 425 is a dual channel compressor/limiter/expander. The two channels may be operated in dual-mono mode, or in stereo mode. In stereo mode, both channels receive identical control signals, which minimizes image shifts caused by unequal gains in the two channels. At Symetrix, we feel that the 425 represents the distillation of our 15 years of signal processing experience into a product that is at once versatile and easy to use without having important controls removed in the interest of simplicity. The 425 is unique because its processor sections are always in-line. There is no Selector switch to select between expander, compressor, or limiter. Now you can expand the low-level parts of a signal to improve its signal-to-noise ratio, then apply compression to add punch and density and still have the security of a peak limiter for overload protection. We call this approach to total level control IDP or Integrated Dynamics Processing. IDP also means powerful, streamlined controls that make the 425 easy to learn and quick to set up, even with three types of processing in one rack space. Each section has the controls that you need to respond to any audio situation fast. Individual LED meters show you what's going on inside each section. The 425 is Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Samples of this product have been evaluated by UL and meet the applicable UL Standards for Safety. In the final analysis, Integrated Dynamics Processing means clean, quiet sound that meets professional demands in any situation. High-quality components and a minimalist signal path make the 425 exceptionally transparent.

Information

About this manual We recommend that you read this manual from cover to cover. Somewhere between the confines of the two covers you should find the answers to most (98%) of your questions, both technical as well as musical. If you're in a hurry (like most of us), or if you really don't believe that someone could write a decent owners manual that you can read and understand, then do us both a favor and read section 6, "Fast First Time Setup." This section will help you get connected, tell you what the knobs do, and send you on your way. This manual contains the following sections: Chapter 1.Introduction: introduces the 425 and this manual. Chapter 2. Using the 425: describes how to use the 425. Covers installation, signal levels, input and output impedances, and physical features. Chapter 3. Technical Tutorial: a basic and not-so-basic discussion of signal levels, input and output impedances and connection polarity. Chapter 4. Front Panel Overview: a brief look at the controls and switches located on the front panel of the 425. Chapter 5. Rear Panel Overview: a brief look at the rear panel of the 425. Chapter 6. Fast First Time Setup: is the setion to read if you can't wait.
