METERING
- Meters can be set to display Gain Reduction, Input, Output or Harmonic generation
levels.
LINK
- All
LINK
switches optionally connect equiva-
lent controls present on LEFT/RIGHT or LAT/VERT
channels.
DC THRESHOLD
- This control is a small trimmer inside the compressor unit, to be adjusted with a
screwdriver. It changes the compression curve, from soft-knee to hard-knee.
HARM
- Adjusts the amount of non linear processing, which turns into adding harmonics to enrich
the processed signal.
OUTPUT
- Controls the level of the two channels after the compression. Can be used as a make-up
gain. In LAT/VERT mode it can increase or reduce the stereo image in proportion to the mono
image.
SIDECHAIN FILTER
- Additional high pass
fi
lter on the sidechain which makes the compression less
sensitive to bass frequencies. This is useful to reduce the pumping e
ff
ect if the processed signal
has much bass frequencies.
PARALLEL
- Mixes
DRY
and
WET
signals creating a parallel compression e
ff
ect.
OUTPUT
- Controls the overall output level.
STEREO LINK
- When set in LEFT/RIGHT mode, the compressor works as two independent mono
compressor units. This
PREFERENCE
optionally links both compressors together.
