dbx 363X - Release Control and Release LED

E.
RELEASE
The
Release
control
determines
how
quickly
the
gate
will
close
after
the
signal
falls
under
the
threshold
of
after
the
hold
function
has
timed
out.
The
Release
time
range
is
adjustable
from
3000dB/
s to
lOdB/S.
This
provides
a
re-
lease
characteristic
that
ranges
from
a
sudden
cut-off
to a
gradual
fade.
The
363X
has
a
fixed
attenuation
level
of
90dB
and
the
graduated
scale
on
the
front
panel
gives
these
attenuation
times.

RELEASE
LED
The
red LED
labelled
"RELEASE"
illuminates
with

increases.
This serves
as a
dynamic
indication
of the
attenuation's
rate
status.

internally
straps
