DMP8800
English
Ducker
The ducker allows a signal to temporarily attenuate below
another signal when said signal activates the ducking
feature� This is useful when making announcements
and other such times when a signal needs to be heard
clearly� The ducker can be activated on input and output
channels by pushing the ‘Duck’ buttons found in the
individual Matrix control pages� There are two of these
‘duckers’ total on the DMP8800�
Source:
This is used to select the source of the duck
function; ie� the trigger signal� When the selected
source’s signal rises to a user-selected level, the
currently selected ‘duck’ signals will attenuate at the
selected level�
Threshold:
This determines the level that the source
signal needs to be before the ducking function will be
activated�
Depth:
This determines how much the selected ‘duck’
signals will be attenuated�
Attack:
The attack time is the time it takes for the
ducking feature to kick in after the source signal passes
the selected threshold�
Release:
The release time control will determine the
time the ‘duck’ feature will remain active as the source
signal drops back below the set threshold�
ALC – Auto Level Control
An autoleveler will allow users to dynamically change the
level of an input or output signal to match a predefined
level set by the user� The autolevel function can be
activated for each individual mix in the matrix pages� The
settings for these autolevelers can be found within this
ALC menu�
In Target:
The target level setting allows users to select
the desired signal level for their autoleveler� All signals
that are processed by the autoleveler will essentially aim
for the target level�
Below Target:
The below target threshold of the
autoleveler is the point at which the autoleveler will kick
in� Signals below the threshold will not be affected, but
signals above will be have their gain increased�
Ratio:
The ratio is the input level change in decibels to
the output level change in decibels�
Increase Gain:
The increase gain determines the amount
that the signal can be increased to meet the target level�
This helps prevent sudden, alarming changes in audio
level�
Decrease Gain:
The decrease gain works the same
as the decrease gain, but in reverse� It determines the
amount a signal can be cut�
Hold Time:
This determines the time the ALC will remain
engaged after the signal falls back below the determined
threshold�
Compressor/Limiter
This menu allows compressors and limiters to be applied
to channel outputs, network outputs or AES/EBU outputs�
Limiter Threshold:
This control determines the threshold
for the limiter function� This means that no signal will
surpass the selected threshold, being ‘compressed’ at a
ratio of infinity:1.
Compressor Threshold:
Use this control to set the
threshold of the compressor function� Any signals that
surpass the selected threshold will be compressed at the
selected ratio�
Compressor Ratio:
This control can be used to set
the ratio for the compressor� The ratio is expressed as
<input>:<output>�
