Using track-specific compressors and equalizers
Compressors and equalizers
Each of the BR-1600CD’s tracks contains its own independent three-band equalizer and compressor, and these effects can be used
to adjust the sound of playback from just that track.
Compressors:
A compressor is used to smooth out volume fluctuations in the track’s playback, thus making it easier to hear at all times.
A maximum of 8 different compressors can be used, and these can be selected for use on Tracks 1 through 8 or Tracks 9/10
through 15/16.
Three-band equalizers:
A three-band equalizer separates the track’s playback sound into low, middle, and high frequency bands, allowing the volume of
each of these bands to be adjusted independently of the others.
Compressor and equalizer connections
Each track’s compressor and equalizer are connected as shown below.
