MIX 4 Dynamics – The Junger Multiloop™
The Junger Multi-Loop™ Dynamics principle sets a new standard for digital signal processing.
The Multi-Loop™ principle combines the advantages of multi-band processing with the advantages of broad
band dynamic processing. But unlike multi-band processing, Multi-Loop™ preserves the frequency
response of the signal.
The multiple control loops process audio simultaneously
. A brief delay lets the digital control loops “look
ahead” so they know in advance what is happening in the audio. This lets them catch peaks completely, with
no overshoot, breathing, etc.
Principals of Multi-Loop
™ Compressors
The Junger Multi-Loop™ also allows adaptive controlling of the parameters of the control loops.
The Multi-Loop™ DSP module analyses the structure of the input signal and adjusts the attack and release
times automatically to match. This allows for simultaneously relatively long attack times for calm program
material and very short attack times for transients.
To optimize the Multi-Loop™ for various program or signal types, it is possible to set processing
parameters. Such parameters represent a certain range of values of time constants which will be used as a
basic set for Adaptive Controlling. Thus they define a passage wherein the adaptive algorithms perform best
and ideally adapt themselves to the program material. The adaptive algorithms guarantee the best reaction
to transient signals at all times.
The value PROGRAM sets the time constants as follows :

5 ms to 0.5 sec
2 10 ms to 0.8 sec
3 15 ms to 1.2 sec SPEECH
4 30 ms to 2.5 sec POP
5 50 ms to 3.5 sec
6 70 ms to 5.0 sec UNIVERSAL
7 100 ms to 6.0 sec
8 150 ms to 8.0 sec CLASSIC
9 250 ms to 10.0 sec
The control ranges and the algorithms themselves have been determined so far by countless listening
sessions with audio engineers, musicians, producers so they cover all genres.
Not sure what to use? Want a general setting that will work well for all cases? Use Universal!
The other settings, noted for Speech, Pop, and Classic will give ideal settings for those signal types. But
UNIVERSAL will cover all of these very well – better than any other unit you will encounter.
