M6 Multiband Dynamics
M6 is a six-band multiband compression and expansion tool. The M6 combines multiband compression, equalization, de-essing, expansion, and limiting capabilities
into one easy to use interface. The M6 is a powerful eect when the need to perform separate EQ and dynamic processes to dierent bands on the same input source.
The M6 has four bands in the centre controlled by crossover regions (2-4), plus two additional frequency selectable bands that are not part of the multiband crossover
(1&6). The two oating bands have dedicated frequency and width controls, unlike the four middle bands. This can be useful in situations when you need additional
control over the dynamics of a frequency range that is not being handled suciently by the four main bands such as de-essing a vocal.
Item Control Function
1 On/O switch Turns the eect on or o.
2 Input meter 25 LEDs, which show input metering.
3 Band 1 - 6 Gain Exp/Comp Meter 43 LEDs, which show gain expansion and compression.
4 X-OVER Low Frequency Sets the Low crossover frequency from 25 Hz to 250 Hz.
5 X-OVER Mid Frequency Sets the Mid crossover frequency from 250 Hz to 2.5 kHz.
6 X-OVER High Frequency Sets the High crossover frequency from 1 kHz to 16 kHz.
7 Slope width control Sets the crossover slope at either 12 dB or 24 dB.
8 Output meter 25 LEDs, which show output metering.
9 Input Level Trim Trim the input level -18 dB to + 18 dB.
10 Output Level Trim Trim the output level -18 dB to + 18 dB.
11 Threshold control Threshold controls the point at which a band begins responding to signal level. Range: 0 to -60 dB.
12 Gain control
Gain controls the output gain of each compressor band. Ideal for sculpting the shape of a sound.
Range: +18 to -18 dB.
13 Range control
Range controls the maximum gain change. Negative range values result in compression. Positive
range values result in expansion. Range:+18 to -24 dB.
14 Attack control
Attack controls the speed at which dynamic processing begins.
Range: 0.50 to 500 ms.
15 Release control
Release sets the recovery speed of the gain attenuation when the input drops below the threshold.
Range: 5 to 500 ms.
16 Band 1-6 Input meter 25 LEDs, which show individual band input metering.
17 Side Chain Function Bands can be individually side chained to a dierent path.
18 Band Listen Listen to the signal in isolation of the processing band or SC if on.
19 Band Bypass Bypass defeats a band’s dynamics processing and Gain control.
