The EQ
The EQ allows to rearrange the pending signal in a wide
range. It is a shelving EQ changing the low signals
(approx 60 Hz) and high signals (approx 12 kHz). The
range is from -14dB to +14 dB for each frequency
range. By toggling the EQ-switch one can switch direct
both bands from 0dB (linear) to the selected range.

THRESHOLD
The THRESHOLD determinate s the threshold where the compressor starts to
work. In full left position (+20 dB) the compressor won't work. A full right
position (-20 dB) means that all signals louder than -20 dB will be compressed.
With THRESHOLD one can establish how much compression should be present
in the audio-signal.
Threshold determines from which signal threshold the compressor should be
present in the audio-signal

With this three switches one can

RATIO
RATIO
RATIO
RATIO
Ratio determines the ratio of uncompressed to compressed signal. 1: 1.5 is therefore a slight
compression, while 1:10 can be described as a very strong compression.
For sum compression in mastering, a slight compression of 1: 1.5 or 1: 2 is preferred.
ATTACK

ATTACK
ATTACK
Attack determines how fast the compressor should react. The shorter the selected time, the faster the
compression will affect the signal. The indicated time for the ATTACK switch is measured in
milliseconds (msec).
RELEASE
RELEASE
RELEASE
RELEASE
Release determines the time after which the compressor "releases" the signal again. The longer the
release, the longer it takes for the compressed level to return to an uncompressed state.
A special feature is the setting "AUTO". In this setting, the release time is automatically determined by
the applied signal. The compressor then adjusts the release time to the program material.
The indicated time for the REALEASE switch is measured in seconds (sec).
