Expander/Gate (Page 2)
The expander parameters are shown in Figure 8-15.
xHys: Hysteresis (dB) sets the level that the gain of the expander must fall below
to turn off. This prevents the expander from turning on and off if the level hov-
ers around the threshold.
xKne: knee (0–30)
xRat: ratio (infinity:1 = gate)
The lower switch next to the xRat knob switches the expander in/out.
