INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing another quality product from Phonic.
The DYN2000 Dynamic Processor with Compressor, Limiter and
Gate functions is the ideal product for sorting out any excess noise,
keeping those high peaks under control and smoothing out any
vocal or instrumental sounds in your audio. We strongly suggest
that you read this user's manual thoroughly to allow yourself to
make full use of this product. After reading, store the manual in an
easy to remember location. This will enable you to find it quickly in
case there is something you missed the first time around.
FEATURES
● Stereo or Dual Mono operation of gate, compressor and limiter
functions
● Select between soft knee and hard knee operation
● Expander/Gate function features variable release time and
+15dBu max. threshold
● Separate sidechain inserts with selectable Low Frequency
Shelf
● The limiter function provides total control of maximum peak
levels at the output regardless of any other control
● System bypass buttons on both channels, useful for comparing
processed and unprocessed signals
● 8-Segment LED display, showing gain reduction up to 30dB
● Balanced xLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs
QUICK SETUP
1. Make sure your unit is off. Preferably remove the AC power
cable.
2. Connect all of your required output devices to the DYN2000's
inputs. If it's a stereo device, use both of the unit's channels
and push the Stereo Link button in. If you're using a mono
signal, simply use a single channel. The other channel will
then be free for a second mono signal.
3. Connect all of your required input devices to the DYN2000's
output connectors. This may include amplifiers or mixers (if
you're using the DYN2000 on a mixer's insert point).
4. Connect any additional signal processors you wish to make
use of to the unit's Sidechain insert points. This will require a
y-cord with a 1/4" TRS jack on one end and two 1/4" TS jacks
on the other.
5. Turn your devices on in this order: instruments, mixer, signal
processors, amps/speakers.

Expander/Gate Section
A noise gate is a signal processor that turns off or significantly
attenuates the audio signal passing through it when the signal
level falls below a user adjustable threshold.
1. Expander/Gate Threshold Control and LEDs
This control adjusts the threshold of the gate, basically determining
how much of the input signal will pass through to the output.
When the threshold control is in the OFF position, all signals are
allowed through the gate. Turning it all the way clockwise will
ensure only signals over the +15 dB are allowed to pass through,
affectively limiting the noise level. The two LEDs indicated when
input signals are above (green LED) or below (red LED) the
selected threshold.
One way to easily and effectively set the gate threshold is to first
turn this control to the OFF position. Play your audio through the
DYN2000 and turn the threshold control up until the red Gate
LED comes on. This is helpful in removing hiss from tape, guitar
amps, and so forth.
NB. The DYN2000's expansion ratio is internally fixed to approximately 10:1,
helping to eliminate residual noise often associated with gating.
2. Sidechain Enable Button
This switch enables the sidechain, allowing users to use the 1/4"
TRS sidechain connector on the rear of the DYN2000 to send
their signal to external processors and receive the processed
signal back. If there is nothing connected to the sidechain loop,
this button has no affect.
3. Expander/Gate Release Control
This control sets the speed at which the gate closes once the
input or sidechain signals fall below the selected threshold. Set
this control to a slower setting if vocals or acoustical instruments
are used; set to fast for tighter percussion.
