12 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
Time Constant and Type Selector
This button toggles the compressor time constant dependency laws between
NORMAL, LINEAR and CLASSIC. The CLASSIC setting is a subset of the
exponential type with fixed time settings corresponding to a DBX 160 type
compressor.
SOFT RATIO Selector
Selects the soft ratio starting threshold in 5dB steps to –20dB below threshold
control setting
RATIO
Controls the ratio of the compressor and expander processes. It is inoperative in
limiter and gate functions
THRESHOLD
Controls the threshold of any dynamics function selected
ATTACK
Controls the attack time of any dynamics function selected
HOLD
Controls the hold time of any dynamics function selected
RELEASE
Controls the release time of any dynamics function selected
MAKE-UP
Applies gain make-up to a maximum of +24dBr only when the compressor is
operative. In the Gate and Expander functions the control is used for RANGE
adjustment.
Gain Reduction Meters
Separate metering displays (GATE, EXP, COMP, LIMIT) for the relative gain reduction
contributions of each section. The overall gain reduction at any time is the larger of
these contributions.
