Output Mode
Range: Left/Right, MS
Left/Right : Straight Output without MS Decode.
MS : MS decode before the section.

Expander/Compressor Setup
Lo Xover
Range:Off,25,32,40,50,63,80Hz.........16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Lo and Mid
Expander/Compressorbandsforthetwochannels.
Hi Xover
Range:Off,25,32,40,50,63,80Hz.........16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Mid and the Hi
ExpanderandCompressorbandsforthetwochannels.

numberofdBsneededforapeak-valuetooverrideRMS
measurement and can be perceived as a Threshold setting.
Example:
If the Crest parameter is set to 6dB, the Compressor will
respondtoRMSvaluesandtopeaks6dBhigherthanthe
current RMS value.
Auto Gain
Range: Off/On

Nominal Delay
Range: 0to15ms
<2ms in 0.1ms steps
>2msin0.5mssteps
Sets the nominal Delay of the signal compared to the
Sidechainsignal.Thisisalsoknownas“Lookahead
delay”, enabling the compressor section to become more
responsive to the incoming signal thereby performing a
more precise compression.
Reference Level
Range:-24dBFSto0dBFSin0.5dBsteps
This parameter sets the reference level in the algorithm.
The reference level is the level at which the Compressor
Threshold parameters will start operating when set to 0dB.
