Buss Comp 369Buss Comp 369 emulates a standard bus compressor that has been used in recording studios 
and broadcasting stations since the 1980s. It produces a smooth and natural compression 
that does not interfere with the expression in the source signal, in contrast with the aggressive 
compression of the U76. Buss Comp 369 includes both a compressor and a limiter. You can 
use both functions individually or in combination, according to your needs. Further, the rich 
overtones generated by the audio transformers on the input/output circuits and the discrete 
Class A amplifier add depth and unity to the sound quality.

INPUT ADJUST
Used to adjust the input gain. However, the output gain is linked to change in the 
opposite direction, to prevent changes in pass-through volume (the volume when 
COMP IN and LIMIT IN are off). For example, if INPUT ADJUST is +5dB, the input gain 
is +5dB and the output gain is -5dB.
See below for more information about how to use INPUT ADJUST.
• If the level of the input signal sent to effects is too low to reach the threshold, 
increase the input gain.
• Adjust the sound quality by changing the input level sent to the input circuitry (audio 
transformer and Class A amplifier).

Using the graphic EQ, parametric EQ, effect, and 
Premium Rack librariesGEQ/PEQ libraryUse the “GEQ library” or “PEQ library” to store and recall GEQ and PEQ settings. All GEQ 
and PEQ units used in the CL series console can use this GEQ library or PEQ library. 
Although are two types, 31BandGEQ and Flex15GEQ in the GEQ library, you are free to recall 
items between differing types. However, only 31BandGEQ settings that use less than fifteen 
bands can be recalled to a Flex15GEQ.
200 items can be recalled from the library. Number 000 is a read-only preset, and the 
remaining library numbers can be freely read or written.
To recall an item from the GEQ library, press the LIBRARY button located at the top of the 
GEQ EDIT window.
Similarly, to recall an item from the PEQ library, press the LIBRARY button located at the top 
of the PEQ EDIT window.
NOTE
• Store and recall operations are performed on individual GEQ units. For one rack, you can store 
and recall two Flex15GEQ or 8BandPEQ units independently as A and B.
• To access the GEQ EDIT window or the PEQ EDIT window, press the rack container in the GEQ 
field.
Effect libraryUse the “Effect library” to store and recall effect settings. 199 items can be recalled from the 
effect library. Library items 1-27 are read-only presets, and correspond to effect types 1-27 
respectively. The remaining library numbers can be freely read or written.
To recall an item from the effect library, press the LIBRARY button located at the top of the 
EFFECT EDIT window.
Premium Rack libraryYou can use the Premium Rack library to store and recall Premium Rack settings. The library 
contains 101 items (from #000 through #100). Item #000 is a preset. All library items other 
than #000 can be freely read and written.
To recall an item from the Premium Rack library, press the LIBRARY button located at the top 
of the window for the corresponding type.

I/O devices and external head ampsThis chapter explains how to use an I/O device or an external head amp that is connected to 
the CL series console. Before you proceed, use DANTE SETUP to specify the I/O devices 
that will be mounted. For details, refer to “Mounting an I/O device on the Dante audio network” 
(page 231).Using an I/O deviceCL series consoles enable you to remotely control channel parameters of an I/O device (such 
as an R series product) connected to the Dante connector.I/O device patchingHere's how an I/O device connected to the Dante connector can be patched to the Dante 
audio network.
I/O DEVICE screen (DANTE PATCH page)1
I/O device list
This shows the ID number and model name of the I/O devices.
Press here to access the OUTPUT PATCH window, where you can specify patching from 
the console's output ports to the I/O devices. If a previously set-up device does not 
currently exist on the Dante audio network, a yellow “VIRTUAL” indicator is shown at 
the lower left of that device. If devices on the network belong to different DEVICE TYPEs 
but share the same ID, a red “CONFLICT” indicator will appear to the left, below the 
device. If multiple devices share the same ID, a yellow “DUPLICATE” indicator will 
appear to the right, below the device.

Using an external head ampIf an I/O card (such as an MY16-ES64 card) supports the remote protocol of an external head 
amp in the CL's slot, you will be able to remotely control from the CL console some 
parameters of the external head amp (Yamaha SB168-ES or AD8HR), such as phantom 
power (+48V) on/off status, gain, and HPF.
For details on the I/O card settings, refer to the Owner's Manual for the I/O card.Connecting the CL series console to an AD8HRTo remotely control the AD8HR from the CL series console, install an MY16-ES64 
EtherSound card in Slot 1 on the CL unit, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the CL unit 
to the NAI48-ES. Then, connect the HA REMOTE connector on the NAI48-ES to the HA 
REMOTE 1 connector on the AD8HR using an RS422 D-sub 9-pin cable. This connection 
enables you to remotely control the AD8HR from the CL series console.
To transmit audio signals (input to the AD8HR) to the CL series console, connect the DIGITAL 
OUT A (or B) connector on the AD8HR to the AES/EBU connector on the NAI48-ES using a 
D-sub 25-pin AES/EBU cable. Signals will be sent or received between the NAI48-ES and the 
CL series console via the MY16-ES64 card.
Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to remotely control multiple AD8HR units 
simultaneously. To do this, connect the AD8HR's HA REMOTE 2 connector to the second 
AD8HR's HA REMOTE 1 connector. If you use the NAI48-ES, you can connect up to six 
AD8HR units. In this case, to input AD8HR's audio signals into the CL series console, install 
two MY16-EX cards on the CL unit since each slot on the CL unit accepts up to 16 channel 
signals. Then, connect each two of the third and subsequent AD8HRs to each AES/EBU 
connector using a D-sub 25-pin AES/EBU cable. STEP
1.Press the WIRELESS tab in the upper part of the I/O DEVICE screen.
2.Press the I/O device displayed in the I/O DEVICE screen (WIRELESS page).
3.Set the output port on the OUTPUT PATCH window, as necessary.
Refer to step 7 in “I/O device patching” (page 154).
