AGC Mixer (Basic Tab)
The output of each of the 5 AGC bands is then summed together in a mixer.
There are 5 variable controls (LO mix, ML mix, MH
mix, HI mix and SH mix) in the Basic tab for the
Mixer that set the output level of each of the 5 AGC
bands over a + or – 12dB range.. There are no
Advanced tab controls for the mixer.
These controls can be used to set up some frequency
balance contours (EQ) but be careful not to use
extreme settings.
The output of the AGC mixer feeds the crossover of
the Limiter section directly.

Limiters
Similarly to the 5-Band AGC section, the Limiter section has 3 control groups:
Crossover, AGC and Mixer
The limiters differ from the AGCs in that the limiters work only on the peaks of the audio signal instead of the
average.
There are 6 variable controls in the Basic tab and 2 drop-down controls in the Advanced tab.
Limiters Crossover (Basic Tab)
The output of the 5-Band AGC mixer feeds the 6-Band Limiter section through its own crossover.
Each of the 6 Limiter bands (LO, ML, MH HI and SH)
has a Drive control.
Each of these controls the input level to the respective
limiter band over a range of + or – 12dB and, therefore,
how far it will be driven into gain reduction. Higher
settings increase the amount of “density” in the band.
You may have noticed that there are actually 2 ways to
control levels that are getting to the limiters: the AGC
Mixer and the Limiters Crossover. Please use care that
similar bands are not boosted or cut too much in either
or both of those sections.
