POSITION: This determines the position of the Compressor within the channel, and can
be set to pre-EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader. It works in unison with the COMP POSITION
parameter on the Insert page. See “Using Inserts” on page 135 for more information.
STEREO LINK: This allows you to pair Comps for stereo operation even when channels
are not paired. Input Channel Comps are paired either horizontally or vertically depending
on the Pair mode setting for the currently selected Input Channel. See “Pairing Channels”
on page 144 for more information on horizontal and vertical pairing. When channels are
paired, this parameter is turned on automatically and cannot be changed.
