Richtige Gebrauchsanleitung

Die Vorschriften verpflichten den Verkäufer zur Übertragung der Gebrauchsanleitung Manley Manley Massive Passive Stereo Tube Equalizer an den Erwerber, zusammen mit der Ware. Eine fehlende Anleitung oder falsche Informationen, die dem Verbraucher übertragen werden, bilden eine Grundlage für eine Reklamation aufgrund Unstimmigkeit des Geräts mit dem Vertrag. Rechtsmäßig lässt man das Anfügen einer Gebrauchsanleitung in anderer Form als Papierform zu, was letztens sehr oft genutzt wird, indem man eine grafische oder elektronische Anleitung von Manley Manley Massive Passive Stereo Tube Equalizer, sowie Anleitungsvideos für Nutzer beifügt. Die Bedingung ist, dass ihre Form leserlich und verständlich ist.

Was ist eine Gebrauchsanleitung?

Das Wort kommt vom lateinischen „instructio”, d.h. ordnen. Demnach kann man in der Anleitung Manley Manley Massive Passive Stereo Tube Equalizer die Beschreibung der Etappen der Vorgehensweisen finden. Das Ziel der Anleitung ist die Belehrung, Vereinfachung des Starts, der Nutzung des Geräts oder auch der Ausführung bestimmter Tätigkeiten. Die Anleitung ist eine Sammlung von Informationen über ein Gegenstand/eine Dienstleistung, ein Hinweis.

Leider widmen nicht viele Nutzer ihre Zeit der Gebrauchsanleitung Manley Manley Massive Passive Stereo Tube Equalizer. Eine gute Gebrauchsanleitung erlaubt nicht nur eine Reihe zusätzlicher Funktionen des gekauften Geräts kennenzulernen, sondern hilft dabei viele Fehler zu vermeiden.

Was sollte also eine ideale Gebrauchsanleitung beinhalten?

    INTRODUCTION 3 THANK YOU!... for choosing the Manley MASSIVE PASSIVE STEREO TUBE EQUALIZER . This EQ is supposed to be somewhat different from any EQ you may have used before , as well, this manual may be a bit unusual in that you may find it worthwhile to read. Even though at first glance the Massive Passive looks fairly conventional, you should t[...]

    4) BANDWIDTH . Similar to the "Q" control found in many EQs. A more accurate term here would be "Damping" or "Resonance" but we used "Bandwidth" to stay with Pultec terminology and because it is a "constant bandwidth" (*) design rather than "constant Q" and because of the way it uniquely w[...]

    NOTES 1) Do not assume the knob settings "mean" what you expect they should mean. Part of this is due to the interaction of the controls. Part is due to the new shelf slopes and part due to a lack of standards regarding shelf specification. 2) You may find yourself leaning towards shelf frequencies closer to the mids than you are used to [...]

    Beginnings The very earliest equalizers were very simple and primitive by todays standards. Yes, simpler than the hi-fi "bass" and "treble" controls we grew up with. The first tone controls were like the tone controls on an electric guitar. They used only capacitors and potentiometers and were extremely simple. Passive simply me[...]

  • Seite 10

    Another important concept. When you use the shelf curves the frequencies on the panel may or may nor correspond to other EQ's frequency markings. It seems there are accepted standards for filters and bell curves for specifying frequency, but not shelves. We use a common form of spec where the "freq" corresponds to the half-way dB poi[...]

    And Why Parallel? The Massive Passive is a "parallel design" as opposed to the far more common "series design". A few pages back, we mentioned the main reason for going with a parallel design was to avoid extreme signal loss, which would require extreme gains and present the problem of noise or extreme cost. The parallel approac[...]

    Why Tube Gain Stages? The stupid answer is the name on the unit is "Manley Labs" and that is what we do. Unlike a current trend, we do not use tubes for THD, clipping character, cool marketing buzz-words, or plagiarism. We began building tube gear because we preferred the sound when it was un-fashionable and re-introduced these glowing ga[...]

    1) To Open : Disconnect the AC Power cable, let sit 15 minutes to allow the power supply capacitors to discharge. Remember there are high voltages (300VDC) used in the Massive Passive and that the capacitors may continue to hold a charge after power is removed - BE CAREFUL!

    Equalizers EQs range from simple bass and treble controls on a hifi system to pretty tricky parametric EQs and 1/3 octave graphic EQs. As an audio freak, you have probably tried quite a few EQs and have gotten both great results and sometimes less than great and you probably have a favorite EQ. Now that you probably have a digital system, you may h[...]

    EQ TECHNIQUE One of the best things about almost all EQs is that you don’t really need an instruction manual. You plug it in, turn a few knows and when nothing happens you take it out of “bypass” and the rest is easy. You just keep twiddling until it sounds like you want it to. Most digital devices like synthesizers and reverbs tend to get a [...]

    1) The song and the vocals was what producers wanted and perhaps that hasn’t changed much. Bands were recorded with live vocals back then. Even overdubs were a band thing. Much of the signature of both the British or American sound were the vocal harmonies. Same today. 2) It was only practical to record as a band, as a group. They rarely used a c[...]

  • Seite 22

    Rather than try to do all your compression while recording vocals, save some for the mix. This takes a little pressure off of finding the “ultimate” compressor with perfect settings and you have the option of compressing the vocals as a group. Real Drums : Typically need lots ‘o’ EQ because we typically close- mike individual drums. Big she[...]

    Loops : The trick? Make the bad stuff sound good and the good stuff sound bad. Put it all together and go nuts with the mute switches. For that ol’ telephone filter, first try the two mid bands with deep shelf cuts. You might expect to just use the filters but these ones probably neither go high enough nor low enough for this purpose so use them [...]

    If you are attempting to master the project or “pre-master” (this year’s hot, new audio buzzword) yourself, here are some suggestions. Take a week off after mixing, then listen to the mixes on as many different systems as you can, friend’s homes, cars, boom boxes, headphones, etc. and make notes. With an eye on those notes, adjust. Now chec[...]

    Translations This is just a few commonly used musical terms translated into technical terms or specific Massive Passive techniques. Note that these are fairly loose descriptions and definitions. Your mileage may vary. Bottom, Fat the deep lows for more: bell boost below 100Hz or use any low shelf up to even 330Hz . When you use a shelf this high, y[...]

    There are a number of possible symptoms of something not quite right, some may be interfacing, others we will touch on as well. If you suspect a problem the following paragraphs should help. NO POWER, NO INDICATORS, NADA - Probably something to do with AC power. Is it plugged in? Check the fuseon the back panel. A blown fuse often looks blackened i[...]

    IT MAKES NOISES WHEN THE FRONT PANEL IS TAPPED - An easy one. Some tubes become microphonic over time. That means they start acting like a bad microphone. Vibration has caused the supports for the little parts in the tube to loosen and now the tube is sensitive to vibration. Easy - Replace the tube. Which one? The one that makes the most noise when[...]
