R-Comp
The R-Comp is a unique Compressor and Limiter which oers both mono operation and true stereo operation from a single set of controls. It's a relatively clean VCA
compressor which generally gives a small bite to things around 4-8 kHz. It can grab quite fast if that's needed. Great on the mix bus to add a little thickening
and polish.
Item Control Function
1 Input control input -18 to +18 with 0 dB at top dead centre.
2 Ratio control The ratio control determines how much compression is applied to the signal.
3 Attack control
By slowing the attack rate, the compressor gradually comes to full compression, instead of compressing
immediately. Transient response is less aected, so maintaining the presence of each note.
4 Release control
By slowing the release rate, the compressor recovers more slowly from compression, so it does not turn
o completely when the signal returns below the threshold.
5 Auto Release button
Auto release when engaged averages the release time of the compressor automatically. The release
control is bypassed.
6 Threshold control The threshold determines when the compressor starts to compress the signal.
7 Input/output meter VU displays, which shows input/output metering. Switch to change level view.
8 Gain Reduction meter Shows the amount of gain reduction to the signal.
9 Make Up Gain control Adds gain to compensate for the gain reduction.
10 Dry/Wet control
Allows Parallel compression, a form of upward compression, is achieved by mixing an unprocessed 'dry'
signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.
11 Power button On/O control for the compressor.
