Auto Gain Control - SC 32 / SC 64
Automatic Gain Control - The AGC is used to keep the average level of a
signal at a constant level. High level signals are reduced by a fast limiter to
prevent distortion by clipping. The AGC Threshold meters show what region of
the AGC the input signal is in, T (yellow) within the Window, A + (red) Limiter, A -
(green) adding Gain
On/Off Button - The On/Off button turns the Auto Gain Control on and off; when
in the Off position, the signal path bypasses this algorithm.
Threshold Fader - This fader changes the level at which the AGC recognizes a
signal as a legitimate level to be increased into the AGC level Window. The
Threshold also defines the lower limit of the AGC. This prevents the AGC from
adding gain to low level signals or noise.
Gain Fader - This is the maximum amount of Gain to be applied to the signal
after it crosses the Threshold limit in an attempt to reach the Target.
Target Fader - This is the user defined optimum signal level to be achieved and
maintained.
