3.3 GAIN REDUCTION LED
The Gain Reduction LED provides visual feed- back as to the
amount of gain reduction. The LED will glow yellow when gain
reduction occurs. The brighter it glows, the more gain reduction
is taking place.
3.4 RATIO CONTROL
The Ratio knob controls the decibel relation- ship between the
amount of increase in input signal vs. the amount of increase
in output signal. All the way to the left, the output will increase
approximately 1dB for every 1.5dB increase in input, providing a
very light and smooth compression. All the way to the right, the
output will increase approximately 1dB for every 6dB increase in
input, providing a more heavily compressed sound.
3.5 POST BUTTON
The Post button determines if the compressor function comes
before or after the equalizer function. When the button is not
lighted the compressor comes before the equalizer. When the
button is lighted the compressor comes after the equalizer.
