Return to top of page I hear distortion when the 610 is activated. A level increase of this magnitude will increase the amount of compression applied by the limiter by 6 dB. This change will be noticed by anyone sensitive to the station's sound. Distortion will become evident if the input circuit of the limiter runs out of headroom and clips. If this is done, the console output will switch between two bridging inputs when the 610 cycles between bypass and operate. There will be no significant change in loading to the console output.
Most modern equipment is built with electronically balanced inputs.
Transformer inputs are virtually never used anymore. Removal of this resistor may be all that is required to convert the input to a bridging input. Consult the manual, or call the manufacturer of your audio processor, for assistance. I hear a click when switching between Operate and Bypass. Switching in and out of the bypass mode involves a DPDT relay.
