EQ - Mid Q - 0 to 10 (.25-16)

This parameter is used to select the mid Q curve of the EQ.  Selections are from 0 to 10, giv-
ing Qs of: .25, .5, .75, 1.0, 1.25, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0.

EQ - Mid Gain - -12 to 12

This parameter controls the Mid-gain output of the EQ section and ranges from -12 to +12dBu.

EQ - High Gain - -12 to 12 (+/-12dB @ 12kHz)

This parameter controls the High-gain output of the EQ section and ranges from -12 to +12dBu.

Compressor - Threshold - 1 to 60 

Adjust this knob to set the threshold of compression from -40dBu (7.8mVrms) to +20dBu. Setting
the Compressor THRESHOLD at its highest level will prevent all but the highest level peaks from
being compressed. Setting the Compressor RATIO to 1:1 will turn the Compressor off, regard-
less of the setting of the Compressor THRESHOLD control.

Compressor - Ratio - 0 to 50 (1:1 - Inf:1)

Rotate this control clockwise to increase the amount of compression from 1:1 (no compres-
sion) up to 

:1 (no increase in output level, regardless of input level increases above thresh-

old.)

Compressor - Gain - 0 to 20 (0-20dB)

This control is used to adjust the output gain of the Compressor module in 1dB increments.

Compressor - Attack - 1 to 99 (1-200ms)

The ATTACK control sets the amount of time it takes the ProVoca™l to begin compressing a sig-
nal (once the detector has sensed a signal above threshold). The ATTACK range is from 1 (FAST)
for a tighter and more noticeable compression effect with very little overshoot) to 99 (SLOW)
