Adding the Gap Ambient sensing leveler to your design and wiring it up

1. In the device tree, expand the DSP / Dynamics / Ambient Sensing Levelers folder.
2. Drag a Gap Sensing or Gap Sensing w/Router device over to the design page.

   

3. Wire the unprocessed program material to a Gain control, and then to the Pr (program source) input wiring node.
4. Wire the unprocessed program material to a meter.

   

   If it is available, the intended program material should be used to configure this device. However, if it is not yet available, you can use a Pink Noise Generator to approximate the effect.

   

   The signal is examined for silence (gaps) that indicate when it is safe to measure the ambient noise sense signal.

5. If you are using the Router version of the device, create the desired processing chains and wire them into the other program input(s).

   The processing chains will be different for different operating conditions, but could be set to have different equalization settings depending on the amount of ambient noise.

   Tip: You can change the number of program inputs in the device properties.

6. Wire the sense input (Sn) to a White Noise Generator.

   

   When the program material input detects a gap in the program, the device measures the signal level at this input and applies gain based on this level.

7. Wire the output wiring node to the amplifier that drives the zone.
