Gt Thresh (Gate Threshold)

When the input audio falls below a certain level, the gain control action of the AGC stage
is “frozen” by the gate. The level at which this freeze, or hold takes place is controlled by
the setting of the Gate Threshold control. Higher numbers cause the gate to activate at
higher audio levels. In most applications this control should be adjusted to cause gating
action to occur when the input audio falls about 20dB below nominal. The action of gate
also prevents noise rush-up during periods of no audio or during pauses in speech.

RTZ Speed (Return To Zero Speed)

RTZ stands for Return To Zero. What RTZ does is return the gain of the AGC band to
the selected amount of gain reduction (See RTZ Level below) in the absence of audio.
RTZ speed controls how fast this adjustment takes place – i.e., how long it takes the AGC
to move to the target RTZ level.

RTZ Lvl (Return To Zero Level)

This control adjusts the gain level to be achieved by the AGC section during lapses in
audio. The primary purpose of RTZ is to prevent the AGC from increasing the gain
unnecessarily during lapses in audio, which would result in an increase in noise level.

Low Band Limiter

LFLim Drv (Low Frequency Limiter Drive)

Adjusts the drive level to the individual Limiter band. Used when you desire more or less
density in a specific band. These Limiter Drive controls can also be used as secondary
dynamic EQ controls after the Drive controls in the AGC Xover.
To adjust the overall amount of density, use the Overall Limiter Drive control in the
Xover section. See “OV Lim Drv” in the Xover (Crossover) section on Page 65.

LFLim Att (Low Frequency Limiter Attack)

The attack control adjusts how fast the limiter responds to sudden increases in audio
level, and higher numbers equate to faster response times. Faster attack times reduce the
transient nature of the input audio, while slower attack times improve it. Extremely slow
attack times must be used with caution so as not to allow the following Clipper stage to
be overloaded during the time when the limiter is adjusting the level downwards.
