Using FAST attack, the compressor reacts more to signal peaks and will
control all but the fastest transients.
D S switch
Pressing DS introduces a sibilant filter into the sidechain of the
compressor. This makes the compressor more sensitive to high frequency
'S' sounds. DS provides 8dB of compression at 8kHz (relative to 1kHz).
Please note this is broad-band de-essing and all frequencies are
compressed when an 'S' sound is detected. However this mthod works
well as most sibilant sounds occur at the beginning or end of words. Use
fast Attack and Release modes for de-essing.
B Y P A S S switch
Switches the compressor in and out of the signal path so that comparisons
can be made between compressed and un-compressed signals.
G A I N control
Because compression is a gain reduction process, the output of the
compressor is often at a lower level than the normal operating level.
Some way of restoring the signal to its pre-compressed level is required.
The Gain control provides adjustment to restore output level after
compression.

The 4 band equaliser has fixed high and low frequency shelving sections
and two fully parametric mid sections.
LF control
Low frequency shelving equaliser. Provides ±15dB of cut or boost at 80Hz
L M F control
This control sets the amount of cut or boost for the LMF (Low Mid
Frequency) section. The Gain range on the MPX10 is ±15dB. The diagram
on the following page shows the effect of different cut and boost settings.
