LOUDNESS PAGE MAIN PAGE
Target Level
Range: +10dB to -10dB
This is the level the Loudness controller will aim
at on its Output. Target Level is relative to
Reference Level on the Main Page.
Max Reduction
Range: -20dB to 0dB
This is the maximum attenuation the Loudness
Control is allowed to perform. If set to 0.0dB,
the Loudness Control cannot attenuate the
signal at all. The level diagram on the next
page is shown with Max Reduction set at
0.0dB.
Max Gain
Range: 0 to +20dB
This is the maximum gain the Loudness Control
is allowed to perform. If set to 0.0 dB, the
Loudness Control cannot add gain to the signal
at all.
Freeze Level
Range: -10dB to-40dB
Sets the minimum level required before the
Loudness Control will start adding more gain. It
would typically be set to avoid boosting signals
considered noise. The Freeze Level parameter
is relative to the Reference Level setting on the
Main page.
Freeze Hold
Range: 0 to 5 seconds
When the Input signal drops below the Freeze
Level, the Gain Correction of the Loudness
Section is frozen for the duration of the Hold
time. When the Hold period expires, the Gain
Correction falls back to 0dB gain.
Processing Modes
- Stereo. In this mode the Loudness, EQ and
Multiband sections operate in tandem:
Whatever gain change is applied to one
channel, is applied to the other. Also, many
parameters have mutual left and right
controls.
- Dual Mono. In this mode the Loudness, EQ
and Multiband sections treat the two Input
signals completely independently.
- Stereo Wide. In this mode the apparent
width and image of stereo signal can be
altered simultaneously with controlling
loudness and peak level. The left and right
signal is internally de-composed into an
M(Mono) and S(Stereo) component, and
reverted to left and right signals before peak
limiting on the Output.
- Sum Mono: Left and right channels are
summed after Delay, Filters and AGC.
- Left Mono: Left channel only is processed.
- Right Mono: Right channel only is
processed.
