The Valley People DYNAMITE is a self-contained and self-powered multi-purpose processing device. In all, it is capable of operating in 18 specific modes, including the basic modes of Limiting, Expansion, De-essing, Noise Gating, Ducking, Keying, etc.

In the Limiting mode alone, there are a number of specific derivations, such as Peak Limiting, Linear Integration Limiting, FM Pre-emphasized Limiting and Side Chain Controlled Limiting.

Similar derivations are evident in the other basic operating modes.

The selection of operating modes is straightforward and understandable, as indicated by three front panel switches, each having three positions.

In each operating mode, full parametric control is afforded by four continuously variable controls. Thus, while being easy to operate, DYNA-MITE is capable of satisfying the most critical of demands for performance.

The device is fully metered, with an 8 element LED Gain Reduction Array, plus clipping indicator.

Balanced input circuitry capable of +24dBv is employed to assure compatibility with professional equipment, while the circuitry is structured to interface correctly to low level/high impedance semi-pro components. The output circuit can deliver a full +21dBm into 600 ohm loads or transformers, yet can feed - 10dBv lines with excellent noise levels and compatibility.

The circuitry employed represents the highest possible technology, for excellence of performance in any system.

Every effort has been put forth in the packaging of DYNA-MITE to assure a simple, yet reliable interface: professional type ring/tip/sleeve jacks; 110/220VAC operation; rugged steel and aluminum rack package for ease in installation. Stereo coupling is accomplished by pressing a front panel switch.
