avoid an audible distortion, but the signal roll-off beyond the level threshold setting is very rapid.
Turning the rotary control counter-clockwise selects various compression ratios, from 20.0 to 1.1. A
compression ratio of 20.0 (also written as 20:1) means that for every 20dB increase (above the set Level
Threshold) at the input of that channel, the output from that channel will increase by just 1dB. This is very
heavy compression - almost Limiting.
Another example would be a compression ratio of 6.0 (6:1). This means that for every 6dB increase (above
the set threshold) at the channel input, the output signal from that channel will increase by 1dB. This will tend
to keep the music sounding dynamic while helping to control excessive peaks.
This is where you set the point at which the compressor/limiter will start to operate on the
music signal. The default setting is , which is bypass mode.
Turning the rotary control counter-clockwise allows you to select the threshold from an ever reducing scale
(the scale can be set to dBu or Volts via the
menu). The Comp/Limiter intervenes (compressing
or limiting the signal) above the level threshold you set here. Below this threshold it leaves the signal
unchanged.
Select MODE should show in the display. Press ENTER. Press
NEXT to switch between and . Use the rotary control to select or . Press
ESC to quit this mode.
The inputs and outputs may be "ganged" (linked together) as left and right stereo pairs, so that modifications
are simultaneously applied to both channels (A&B inputs and 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6 outputs). This can be useful
for setting identical crossover points and EQ settings, but if you intend to use the output delay function for
speaker 'time alignment' then you should NOT gang the output channels.
Select MODE NEXT Press ENTER.
Here you can set the measurement unit shown while modifying various parameters. Press NEXT to switch
between Delay Unit, Comp/Limiter Threshold Unit and Temperature Unit.
