Pressing Threshold, Gain, Ratio, Attack and Release
keyswillimmediatelyassignLo,Mid,HiandMastervalues
fortheseparameterstoFaders1-4.PresstheL/Rkeyto
see all parameters at the same time. On the L/R page any
parametercanbeassignedtoFader6bypressingthe
individual parameter values.
Threshold
Range:-25dBto20dB(in0.5dBsteps)
Relates to the Ref.Level setting.
General explanation - when the Input signal exceeds the
Threshold value the Compressor starts to reduce the
dynamic content of the signal according to the set Ratio.
Gain
Range:Off,-18dBto12dBin0.5dBsteps.
ManualMakeup-gainforeachcompressionband.
Where the Auto Gain control in the Main page
compensates for the total gain reduction caused
by the Compressor, the Gain controls in the
Compressor pages are used as additional
gain controls on the individual bands.
Ratio
Range: Off to Infinity
Specifies the Ratio of the performed compression.
Example:WithaRatiosettingof2:1thecompressorwill
reduce every 2dB above the Threshold point to only 1dB.
Attack
Range: 0.3 to 100ms
TheAttacktimeisthetimetheCompressorusestoreach
the gain reduction specified by the Ratio parameter.
Example:IftheInputsignalincreasesby4dBabovethe
setThresholdwithaRatiosetto2:1andtheAttacktime
set to 20ms, the Compressor will use 20ms to reach a Gain
reduction of 2dB.
Release
Range: 20ms to 7s
Thefallbacktime.ThetimeittakesfortheCompressorto
release the attenuation of the signal.

FromtheL/Rpageanyparametercanbeassignedto
Fader6simplybypressingtheparametervalue.
