6.4.4 Auto Level Function
(Figure 6.12) Unlike the Input Compressor/Limiter function which is designed to handle sudden or transient jumps

output level can be kept relatively constant over a longer time interval while transients are allowed to pass. This
feature creates a more natural sound with increased dynamic range.
