AVE MX 8 - 4.3.3 3-band equalizer, compressor;limiter, gain, threshold

page 13 User guide MX-8
• Selection for each of the four inputs to which outputs (OUT 1 through
OUT 4) they are to be transmitted. By default, each of the inputs are set
to all four outputs.
4.3.3 3-band equalizer, compressor/limiter, gain, threshold
The six potentiometers for each channel have the following functions
1. Compressor/limiter: The output limiters prevent distortion during loud
peaks. All signals below the set threshold are not affected whereas those
above are compressed. This keeps the devices connected to the MX-8
from becoming overloaded and prevents distortion and clipping.
2. Gain: Adjusts the amplification of the channel to the level of the input
signal.
3. Threshold control: Adjusts the response sensitivity of the microphone.
The here adjusted threshold can be disabled if necessary by a jumper
(see THD in section 4.3.2).
4. High frequencies: 3-Band equalzer for an optimal adaption of the
microphone to the speaker; ± 12 dB at 10 kHz
5. Mid frequencies: ± 12 dB at 100 Hz
6. Low frequencies: ± 12 dB at 70 Hz
4.3.4 Microprocessor Gate Control
• Continous level monitoring of 8 input channels by RISC microprocessor
• Level compare accuracy better than ±2 dB
• Channel on attack time less than 10 ms
• Channel on hold time 256 ms (default) / 512 ms, selectable via switch
• Last On (default) / Channel 1 On, selectable via switch, hysteresis 6 dB
• Simultaneous active channels: none (default) / 3+4 selectable via switch
