PAGE 3 - LEVELS:
BND-LEV off - 0.0 dB - 12 dB Sets the level of the individual bands.
0dB ref -18 dB - 0.0 dB Sets the level at which there is unity gain
(output=input). In a mastering situation
this value would be set between -6 dB
and -10dB. For the EBU broadcast
standard this would be set at -18dB.
This single control is the one to use to
bring a recording into the range where
the compressor is behaving in a way you
want - without excessive threshold
tweaking.
Note: When coming into the M5000 at
the Analog inputs always set the analog
input gain to make the input PPM read
just below 0dB for optimum use of the
A/D converter dynamic range.
