Smart Research HPF-Y Sidechain Filter Cables
This cable rolls off low frequency signals below 150Hz feeding the external sidechain input of your C2, to reduce compression slightly at low frequencies, but without effecting the audio signal path.
The C2 operates as normal, until the 'External Sidechain' switch is selected.
One cable is used for each channel. The normal input signal is connected to the female XLR, and the 'straight through' male XLR is connected to the C2's input. This allows operation as normal.
The 'High Pass s/c ip' male XLR is connected to the C2's 'External Sidechain Input'. This is a filtered copy of the normal input. When 'External s/c' is now selected with the front panel switch, the new filter is engaged, and if deselected the C2 runs as normal.
