5.1.6 Dynamics Compressor
A true RMS compressor can be set to avoid the input signal go above a certain RMS
value. The following parameters can be adjusted:
• Thr. - Compressor Threshold. Sets the level at which the compressor will activate.
• Att. - Attack time. Time it takes the compressor to start actuating after reaching the
threshold.
• Hold - Hold time. Sets up a delay before the compressor enters the release cycle.
Useful for compressing low frequency long notes.
• Rel. - Release time. Time the compressor uses to return to unity gain after the
signal is below the threshold.
• Ratio - The compressor ratio determines the slope in which the signal is
compressed. The higher this value is, the higher the compression.
• Gain – The compressor make up Gain. Use it in case the level of the compressed
signal must be corrected (0dB by default)
5.1.7 Limiter
A peak-limiter can be set at each input. It is a zero attack time limiter, so it will
immediately act on the signal. The parameters that can be changed are:
• Thr. – Threshold: input level at which the signal will be limited.
• Rel. – The release value, expressed in dB/seconds
5.1.8 Channel Link
Input channels 1 and 2 (and 3 and 4 in DSP608) can be linked in order to set the
same parameters on both. The factory setting is that channel 1 and 2 are linked and 3
and 4 too (in DSP608). Turn the rotary knob set the link off.
