1 Warranty

Audio Gear Obsession warrants this product to be free of defects and malfunctions

for a period of two years from the purchase date (i.e. the invoice date).

Malfunctions caused by the improper use of this device such as:

• wrong power supply connection

• usage with voltage above absolute maximim rating (see the Specification

section)

• any components removing

and any other malfunctions determined by Audio Gear Obsession to be caused

by improper user actions, will void the warranty. Standard service rate will apply.

Audio Gear Obsession do not accepts responsability for harm to people, animals,

objects and the environment caused by the improper use of this product.

2 Device Overview

DYNAMICENGINE is a dual mono compressor-limiter with stereo link.

This device is an ergonomic medium to compress signals inside and outside the

Eurorack format, making the connection between Eurorack and non-Eurorack

gear easier. Both compressors have adjustable Input Gain, Threshold, Attack,

Release, Ratio, Knee, Make Up, Mix, Bypass, Side-chain Filter and External Side-

chain Gain. The mono compressors can be linked using the stereo link control.

Input and output circuitry offers plug-and-play balanced and unbalanced con-

nections capabilities.

The engineering behind this module is pointed toward obtaining the lowest noise

and the best performance possible.

Figure 2: Input & Output Section

4.1 Input Jacks

DYNAMICENGINE features two 3.5 mm balanced Inputs Jacks (1). The balanced

inputs can be exploited to accomodate the interconnections between Eurorack

and non-Eurorack gear (e.g. API500, Rack 19”, Desktop...). Standard 3.5 mm

mono patch cables can be used. All inputs feature a led that monitors the signal

intensity after the Input Gain stage.

4.2 Output Jacks

DYNAMICENGINE features two 3.5 mm balanced Output Jacks. The balanced out-

puts can be exploited to accomodate interconnections between Eurorack and

non-Eurorack gear (e.g. API500, Rack 19”, Desktop...). Standard 3.5 mm mono

patch cables can be used. All outputs feature a led that monitors the signal

intensity after the Make Up stage.

4.3 External Side-chain Jacks

DYNAMICENGINE features two 3.5 mm balanced External Side-chain Jacks. The

balanced inputs can be exploited to accomodate interconnections between Eu-

rorack and non-Eurorack gear (e.g. API500, Rack 19”, Desktop...). Standard 3.5

mm mono patch cables can be used. All inputs feature a led that monitors the

signal intensity after the External Side-chain Gain stage.

5 Control Section

5.1 Input Gain & Threshold Controls

Figure 3: Input Gain & Threshold Controls

Input Gain (4) and Threshold (5) controls have been placed on the same poten-

tiometer, helping the user to define the desired point at which the compressor

start working. The upper knob sets the Input Gain for the corresponding chan-

nel; it ranges from -10 dB to +12 dB relative to the input level, with the blue dot

on the scale corresponding to unity gain. The lower knob sets the Threshold for

the corresponding channel; it ranges from -36 dB to 0 dB relative to the intenal

maximum threshold level.

5.2 Attack & Release Controls

Figure 4: Attack & Release Controls

The Attack (6) and Release (7) controls have been placed on the same poten-

tiometer, helping the user to define the desired times at which the compression

start and stop working. The upper knob sets the Attack for the corresponding

channel; it ranges from fast (0.05 ms for a 10 dB attenuation) to slow (50 ms for

a 10 dB attenuation). The lower knob sets the Release for the corresponding

channel; it ranges from fast (5 ms for a 10 dB attenuation) to slow (500 ms for a

10 dB attenuation).

5.3 Ratio & Knee Control

Figure 5: Ratio & Knee Control

The Ratio control (8) sets the amount of compression that is applied to the signal

of the corresponding channel; it ranges from 1:1 (i.e. no compression) to Limit

(i.e. limiter). The Knee (9) switch sets the slope of the compression applied to the

signal; it can be used to set a soft-knee slope (left position) or a hard-knee slope

(right position).

5.4 Make Up & Mix Control

Figure 6: Make Up & Mix Control

The Mix (11) control sets the amount of compressed and uncompressed signal

that is sent to the Make Up stage. This control allows the user to implement

parallel compressions; it ranges from 0% (i.e. only uncompressed signal) to 100%

(i.e. only compressed signal). The Make Up (10) control sets the amount of gain

that is applied to the signal coming from the Mix stage; it ranges from -10 dB to

+20 dB.
