This can be set to Off or 10–240 Hz.
Comp/Limiter/Gate
The compressor can be used to reduce input signals with levels that are too high and raise signals that are too
low. The limiter can prevent distortion by reducing input signal with levels that are too high.

Compressors reduce high-level sounds and raise low levels.

Time
When the compressor or limiter is on, if the input signal level exceeds the set threshold value, the signal level will
be suppressed to prevent the sound from distorting.
The attack time is how long after the signal exceeds the threshold until the limiter starts operating. The release
time is how long after the signal goes below the threshold until the limiter stops operating. Change these two
parameters to adjust the sound quality.
