[TenTec] Question About ALC on Corsair II

[Scott / W4PJ]

I had a similar situation with one of my Triton 540's.

Turn the ALC so that it just blinks on peaks.  I was using a "hot" mic and
it was overdriving.  BTW Shure 526T.

I even got a pink card from a "OO" over that little quirk.  Har!

PEACE
