Menu “RMS Compressors Editing [Access by pushing the “Lim/Comp - Edit/Bypass” buttons]
”
From the “Default Screen”, it is possible to access the “RMS Compressors” menu by pressing the
“Lim/Comp
- Edit/Bypass” buttons at the bottom of the 3xLCOMP or 3xRCOMP LED bars. Once pressed,
the related blue “EDIT” LED will turn ON.
The Sub-Menus pages can now be scrolled through by rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise, the
“NAV/PM1” encoder.
For parameter editing, it is necessary to press “ENTER” and an arrow will appear on the left of the screen
“->”. Use the “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for selecting and setting the parameter values. On some
parameters that have three independent values, you will also need to use the “NAV/PM1” encoder, for
example for the filter’s parameter setting.
The “Lim/Comp - Edit/Bypass” buttons also have the RMS COMPRESSOR BYPASS function. If pressed for
more than 3 seconds, the RMS COMPRESSOR of the related Channel will be BYPASSED and the LED will
turn RED.
To ACTIVATE the RMS COMPRESSOR again, from the BYPASSED condition, press the “Lim/Comp -
Edit/Bypass” button again for more than 3 seconds.
Note
: All parameter editing can be done using the
, “PM2”, and “PM3” encoders and the current
“NAV/PM1”
shown value of the selected option is AUTOMATICALLY loaded during the encoders’ use and stored as the
current value once leaving the page.
RMS Compressors (LCOMP/RCOMP) Block Scheme
The DS-CP25 processing core is based on 3 powerful RMS compressors on each channel, that can be
applied to 3 sub bands definable by the user.
The DS-CP25 is very flexible allowing you to set the compression process as a 3 band, 2 band or Mono
band.
On its input path, after the AGC and EQ, and before the final Peak Limiter, the DS-CP25 makes available to
the user, a powerful “up to 3 band” RMS Compressor, which is editable independently on each one of its 3
RMS
Compressors (if set as the 3 bands mode) or 2 of them (if set as the 2 bands mode) or just one
“Sub”
(when in Mono band mode).
In addition to a control for setting the Compressor Mode (2, 3 or Mono band), there is a control for setting
the crossover frequencies.
In the following block scheme, showing the DS-CP25 overall structure, the RMS Compressor section is
represented by the purple block.
