MADE IN U.S.A.

Output: These plug-in barrier strip terminals are for connection to the input of a sound system equalizer/amplifier. The Output provides a balanced stereo line-level program signal, with automatic level adjustment to compensate for changes in ambient noise. The ANC22 works equally well with a mono program signal connected to either the left or right Input/Output. For connection to unbalanced equalizer/amplifier inputs, wire high to (+) and ground

to (

), leaving (-) unconnected. The Output has an additional 6dB

of gain when used in a balanced fashion. Input: These plug-in barrier strip terminals are for connection to

the output of a program signal source. The Input accepts a balanced stereo line-level program signal. The ANC22 works equally well with a mono program signal connected to either the left or right Input/Output. For connection to unbalanced program signal sources, wire high to (+) and ground to both (-) & ( Input will accept either +4dBu or -10dBu nominal level signals (see Input Level Switch below).

Input Level Switch: This push-button switch determines the proper gain at the Input, allowing the ANC22 to accomodate various program source signals. When depressed, the Input Level Switch selects -10dBu as the appropriate Input signal level (+10dB gain). This is good for program sources (such as CD, tape, etc.) which are typically unbalanced line-level signals. When released, the Input Level Switch selects +4dBu as the appropriate Input signal level (-4dB gain). This is good for program sources (such as mixers, equalizers, etc.) which are typically balanced line-level signals.

Sense Input: These plug-in barrier strip terminals are for connection of an external microphone, which is used to pick up room ambient (background) noise. An internal microprocessor then samples the noise, calculates an ‘average’ noise level, and adjusts the program signal level accordingly. The microphone should be of the balanced, low-impedance type. Condenser microphones are recommended (see Phantom Power Switch below), although dynamic microphones are acceptable. For applications where ambient noise is evenly distributed throughout the room, sensing microphones with ‘omnidirectional’ or ‘hemispherical’ pick-up patterns are prefered. For applications where ambient noise is more localized, ‘unidirectional' pick-up patterns may be more appropriate. If multiple microphones are desired (to cover a larger area) an external microphone mixer may be used (see Pad Switch below). Microphones should be placed within a room so as to pick up both ambient noise and a moderate amount of program signal from the sound system.

-30dB Pad Switch: When depressed, this push-button switch provides 30dB of attenuation, to compensate for different signal levels at the Sense Input. Depress the Pad Switch when Sense Input signal levels exceed the normal operating range of the front panel Sense Level control, or when line-level input from a microphone mixer is desired.

Phantom Power Switch: When depressed, this push-button switch provides +24 Volts DC phantom power to the Sense Input, for powering a condenser type microphone. CAUTION: The

Phantom Power Switch must be released (phantom power off) when the Sense Input is to be connected to a line-level source, such as a microphone mixer. Always turn levels down before switching phantom power.

Power Switch & On Indicator: This switch turns power on, and is also used to enter setup (see Setup Button & Indicator below).

Setup Button & Indicator: This momentary push-button & adjacent indicator are used to enter setup mode. Setup mode is a simple, automated procedure for setting the controls described below. When setup is completed, the control settings are stored in non-volatile memory. To enter setup mode

: While the Power Switch is turned off, press and hold the Setup Button. While holding the Setup Button, turn the Power Switch on. Continue holding the Setup Button until the Setup Indicator lights. When the Setup Button is released, the Min Indicator will also light (see Setup / dB Gain Display below). NOTE: Setup requires program

& sense signals be present. Once setup is completed, the Setup button may be disabled (see Options on pg. 6).

Setup / dB Gain Display: This row of eight indicators serves three purposes. During setup mode, individual indicators will light to show the proper sequence of control adjustments. During normal operation, the display provides gain metering. During Bypass, the Min Level control setting is displayed (see below).

NOTE: If the Overload indicator flashes during normal operation, reduce input signal levels and repeat the setup procedure.

Min Level: This screwdriver adjustable control determines the minimum output gain of the ANC22 (for periods of low ambient noise). Adjust Min Level during setup mode, only Indicator is lit. Set the Min Level control for the program volume which will be appropriate when background noise is the ‘quietest’. Min Level has a range of -20dB to +18dB. Once Min Level has been set, press the Setup Button and the Sense Indicator will light (see Sense Level & Indicators below).

Sense Level & Indicators: This screwdriver adjustable control determines the appropriate sense input level. Initially, this control should be increased only until the Low Indicator goes off. Once Sense Level has been set, press the Setup Button and the Max Indicator will light (see Max Level below). NOTE: Max Level

settings may cause the Peak Indicator to light. If so, decrease Sense Level until the Peak Indicator goes off, then repeat the setup procedure to store the new settings in non-volatile memory. Once setup is completed, do not disturb the Sense Level control.

Max Level: This screwdriver adjustable control determines the maximum output gain of the ANC22 (for periods of high ambient noise). Adjust Max Level during Setup Mode, while the Max Indicator is lit. Set the Max Level control for the program volume which will be appropriate when backgound noise is the ‘loudest’. Max Level has a range from the Min Level setting to +18dB. Once Max Level has been set, press the Setup Button and the Time Indicator will light (see Sample Time below). NOTE: If Max Level

settings cause the Peak Indicator to light, decrease Sense Level until the Peak Indicator goes off, then repeat the setup procedure to store the new settings in non-volatile memory

Sample Time: This screwdriver adjustable control determines the length of time the ANC22 uses to sample noise levels at the Sense Input. Sample Time affects how accurately the ANC22 will calculate an ‘average’ noise level, as well as how quickly it will respond with a program volume adjustment. Lower settings allow less sampling time, but offer a quicker response time. This is good for applications (such as subway terminals) where the ambient noise level may change drastically within a short period of time. Higher settings provide a longer sampling time, and a longer response time. This is good for applications (such as restaurants) where the ambient noise level changes gradually. A setting of ‘10 sec’ is a good starting point for most applications. Once Sample Time has been set, press the Setup Button and the Ratio Indicator will light (see Gain Ratio below). NOTE: During setup of Sample

Time, the Bypass Indicator functions as a Rate Indicator, and will flash each time a complete sampling period has elapsed (see Bypass Switch & Indicator below).

Gain Ratio: This screwdriver adjustable control determines how much the ANC22 will increase program volume, relative to a given increase in ambient noise. A minimum setting (‘1:2’) produces a 1dB increase in program volume for every 2dB increase in ‘average’ ambient noise level. This is good for applications (such as background music) where the program signals must remain subdued. A maximum setting (‘2:1’) produces a 2dB increase in program volume for every 1dB increase in ‘average’ ambient noise level. This is good for applications (such as foreground audio) where program signals must remain intelligible. Gain Ratio settings are also affected by ‘sense’ microphone placement. A setting of ‘1:1’ is a good starting point for most applications. Once Gain Ratio has been set, press the Setup Button. The Gain Ratio Indicator will go off, the control settings will be stored in nonvolatile memory, and the ANC22 will enter the normal operating mode. NOTE: Once setup is completed, the Setup Button may be

disabled. Max Level, Sample Time, & Gain Ratio controls may be enabled to allow adjustments during normal operation. These adjustments will not be stored in non-volatile memory without repeating the setup procedure (see Options on pg. 6).

Bypass Switch & Indicator: When pressed in, this switch will defeat any ANC22 program gain increases, and set the program volume to minimum (as determined by the Min Level control). The adjacent indicator will light whenever Bypass is enabled. NOTE:

During normal operation, this indicator functions as a Rate Indicator for each sampling period (if Bypass is not enabled).
