6.4 COMPRESSOR
THRESHOLD
The Threshold control sets a DC reference level above which compression
can start. This is compared to the RMS voltage and when this exceeds the
reference the difference is forwarded to the Ratio control
RATIO
The difference voltage from the Threshold stage is amplified or attenuated
depending on the setting of Ratio. This control voltage defines the amount
of compression once Threshold has been exceeded
ATTACK-RELEASE
Attack and Release are based around two time constants. An initially short
time which reacts to lower level and/or short duration signals, and a longer
time constant for higher levels and/or longer duration.
STEREO
In stereo mode the RMS voltages are combined and fed into the controls
of channel 1. The resulting control voltage feeds the VCAs of both channel
1 and 2
