Section 9: Dynamics

Euphonix CS3000/2000 Operation Manual

9 - 23

To place the dynamics before the EQ, assign EQ•Dyn(1) to L1 and EQ•Dyn(2)
to L2 and the EQ is moved after the dynamics processors:

Note that the dynamics are not linked until you hit the ST* key, explained
earlier in “Linking Dynamics Processors”.

For maximum headroom performance, Euphonix recommends that the
dynamics processors be placed pre-EQ, especially if you are using a
significant amount of EQ boost.

If there are two dynamics per channel they can also be assigned one per fader
to give each fader an EQ and a dynamics processor. The EQ can be switched
before or after the dynamics as just described:
