1.2 Product Overview
MV360 is a dual function dynamics processor for 5.0 and 5.1 Surround sound
applications. It provides six discrete channels of low level and high level compression.
1.3 Concepts and Terminology
Low Level Compressor
Low Level Compression can be explained in simple terms as the opposite of
standard or high level compression. In a standard compression setting, any signal
above the set threshold gets compressed and attenuated.
With the MV360˚ Low Level Compression function, any signal below the set
threshold gets compressed upward, resulting in increased gain. The dynamic range
is thus compressed, pushing low levels up while leaving high levels as they were.
