1. INTRODUCTION
You are now the owner of an LTO GATE. Your LTO GATE is based on many years of experience and is designed
to eliminate noise in systems, hiss and hum in amplifiers, surrounding noise and so on. For more information, please
read this manual carefully.
Feature List:
Mountable in one standard 19" rack unit
Illuminated power switch
Manually adjustable HOLD and RELEASE time
Indicating gain attenuation with 8-segment LED
Range control for gate mode while ratio for expander mode
Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors for inputs and outputs
Side-chain Filter
The adjustable parametric side-chain filter allows the user to select and eliminate certain frequencies that may
result in unwanted triggering of the gate and expander.
The EXPANDER/GATE Section
You can select freely the EXPANDER/GATE mode in your unit. The two modes can reduce or cut-off the level
of audio signal below a certain set threshold to avoid unexpected noise.
Super quality parts and rigid configuration for long life and full credibility
2. THE CONCEPT BEHIND
2.1 Some Technical Stuff
Good old analog technology: It will allow us to manufacture audio equipment with a very high dynamic range: up
to 125 dB. But the dynamic range of digital equipment is more or less 25 dB less. A further reduction in dynamic
range occurs with the use of tape recorders and/or vinyl records.
2.1.1 It is not just Music
Yes, a piece of electronic will produce some noise. When the current flows through a conductor this will
generate a certain movement of the electrons and therefore: noise. And throughout the whole spectrum of
audio. Imagine what happens when this inherent noise will be amplified. Yes, today one can use "low-noise"
components but still such components will present a certain level of residual noise.
For example with tape recorders it will not be possible to get an S/N (signal to noise) ratio better than 70dB.
This level would not be accepted today by the increased sensitivity of the Listeners. It is possible to improve
the performance of a tape recorder: Absolutely no!
2.1.2 Introducing Audio Dynamics
The human ear can detect the noise generating by falling leaves as well as the roar generated by the taking
off space shuttle. Unfortunately no analog, nor digital device can reproduce such wide spectrum. Please look
at Chart. 1 and you will see the difference if dynamic capacity of various devices when compare to the human
ear. More problems occur when handling high level signals and low level signals. When you reach the high
level limit you may incur in distortion because of the dynamic range of the instrument therefore a certain
"reserve" must be maintained to avoid distortion.
This reserve is known as "headroom" and it is usually set at 10 20 dB. Would not be easier just to reduce
the operating level? Yes, it would. But you would put low level music signals at the same level of the basic
noise floor so the overall quality of the signal would be highly deteriorated. Please look at Chart. 2 and note
the Usable dynamic range (including headroom) versus high level distortion generated by peaks, and Noise
floor level.

Chart. 2 The interactive relationship between the operating level and the headroom
Clipping Signal heavily distortedClipping Signal heavily distorted
Usable dynamic range
Low level signal drowned out by noiseLow level signal drowned out by noise
So the operating level must be as high as possible but not high enough to generate distortion.
There is a very easy way to obtain this. With the volume knob in hand you increase the volume during low
passages and decrease the volume during loud passages. Unfortunately even the Great Houdini would not
be fast enough to monitor carefully the speed of the musical signal and it would be impossible to detect signal
peaks and consequently levelling them out. Manual control is therefore out of question. The answer is AGC
(automatic gain control); a device that will monitor the signal in real time and that will adjust the gain for the
best S/N ratio without producing distortion.
2.1.3 More about noise: Expanders and Noise-Gates
A lot of instruments such as microphones, amplifiers, guitar pickups, etc generate some noise, either at low
frequencies (hum) or at high frequencies (hiss). Such noise will inevitably interfere with the quality of your
audio signal. Now, if you scream into a microphone you will not hear the noise generated by such microphone
because such noise will be "masked" by the higher level of the signal, your voice in this case.
But if you sing into your microphone more gently in a soft passage, the level of the signal generated by your
voice will get much closer to the floor noise level and such floor noise will become disturbing. In order to kill
this problem Expanders and noise-gates are used. An expander is the opposite of a compressor: attenuating
the signal when the amplitude drops, they can limit the floor noise.
Now, we do not need dramatic expansion of a signal across the range; This would generate a resulting
dynamic range of over 150dB. For this reason the amplitude control will be applied only to those audio
signals which are below a set threshold. Those audio signals above the set threshold will not be affected.
Noise-gate can be regarded as a simple Expander. But the Expander will attenuate the audio signal contin
-uously below the set threshold while the noise-gate will simply dramatically cut-off the audio signal completely.
2.2 Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA)
The VCA is the soul of the LTO GATE and it is one of the best components available today in his category
thanks to its excellent performances in terms of distortion, linearity, noise and temperature stability.

2.3 Inputs
2.3.1 Take it easy: Balanced Inputs
To make your life easy and clean we have provided LTO GATE with electronically balanced inputs. Even if
you operate at high signal levels, hum and noise will be reduced automatically. There is also a servo-function
that will automatically adjust the internal level when unbalanced connectors are detected. The correction is
of 6dB and it will avoid differences in level in between input and output signal.
