21. s  The sub panel behind the front panel is  joined to the chassis by four screws located in the chassis sides and by the potentiometers  Special  care must be taken when re install the front panel because some delicate parts as the LED lamps  must be introduced in small panel holes and itis a not easy operation        Normally the signal reductions in the unit are produced by three causes  the LEVEL  potentiometers  the unbalanced circuit and the electronic balanced one  In the unbalanced and  electronic balanced circuits  a signal reduction around 6 dB reveals that one halves of the circuit has  any trouble  The LEVEL potentiometers failures gives also sudden random signal reductions as well as  Swinging signals     9  APPLICATION EXAMPLES  SUPPRESSING CROSSTALK IN MULTI MIC APPLICATIONS    The most frequent application of a noise gate Is the elimination of unwanted crosstalk  between microphones during recording and playback  mainly in the drum sounds  because here       several microphones closely positioned next to each other  By this reason itis desirable to gate  each microphone in order to avoid the crosstalk in adjacent microphones    In order to begin  itis important the microphones placement  so that they capture the minor  possible signal of the adjacent instruments  Once placed  adjust the noise gate HP and LP KEY  FILTERS  so that the noise gate is only triggered with the sound of the instrument that we want to  gate  Use the SIDE TEST function to monitor the sig
