Window fader
This parameter adjusts the amount of variation in the output and ranges from 1 to 10dB. For most applica-
tions a Window of +/- 2 or 3 dB maintains the signal adequately.
attack fader
The Attack fader adjusts how fast the AGC will increase gain after the signal drops below the Target. It
ranges from 1 to 9.95 Seconds.
release fader
This parameter adjusts the AGC rate of gain reduction once the signal is above the Target. It ranges
between 10 to 0 dB/Second.
Limiter threshold fader
The AGC is designed to add or remove gain slowly so that the overall response will sound natural. Because
of its slow nature, a fast Limiter has been added to the AGC to protect the system from sudden transients.
The Limiter threshold can be set from the top of the AGC Window up to 0dBFS.
Limiter auto on/off switch
This button turns Auto mode for the Limiter on and off. Auto mode dynamically sets the Limiter Attack
and Release based on the input signal.
Limiter attack fader
This parameter sets the speed at which the limiter starts to reduce the gain of the input signal once it has
crossed the limiter threshold. It ranges from .01 to 200 mSec.
Limiter release fader
The Limiter Release parameter sets the rate at which the Limiter will go out of gain reduction once the
signal drops below the threshold. The Release range is between 360 and 5 dB/Sec. Auto mode deactivates
this parameter.
