2. Threshold Control:
The threshold control determines how much compression takes place and
the output level at which compression commences. The threshold also
adjusts the ratio.
3. Attack Control:
The attack controls how much of the signal transient is allowed through
before compression starts. There are 6 different speeds labelled 1 (Fast)
to 6 (Slow) with every second selection, labeled ‘C’, turning off the
compression action. In these positions, the unit can be used as a line
amplifier.
Attack times
1 – 3 milliseconds
2 – 19 milliseconds
3 – 48 milliseconds
4 – 77 milliseconds
5 – 109 milliseconds
6 – 138 milliseconds
4. Recovery Control:
The recovery control determines how quickly the signal rebounds after
the input signal has fallen below the threshold. There are six Recovery
positions labelled 1 (Fast) to 6 (Slow) with every second selection turning
on the ‘H’ HOLD function.
