Output Compressor/Limiter
Output level compressor/limiter.
Allows to keep the signal of each individual output within a set level.
Can be used effectively to protect the components of a sound system or to obtain compression effects
and to increase the signal dynamics while keeping it within certain limits.

The following editable parameters are available:
Reaction times
Allows to choose between 3 types of Limiter reaction speed.
In fact, these are
attack
and
release
times that are optimised so that the Limiter reacts more or less
rapidly when the signal exceeds or drops below the threshold:
☞
Fast
short times, suited to rapid Limiter operation. Normally more suited to outputs dedicated
to high frequencies.
☞
Normal
intermediate times, suited to the majority of applications. Normally more suited to outputs
dedicated to mid frequencies or full-range systems.
☞
Slow
long times, suited to avoiding rapid repeated level jumps (pump effect). Normally most
suited to outputs dedicated to low frequencies.

Threshold
Allow to set the level above which the Compressor/Limiter intervenes (limiting the signal) and below
which it leaves the signal unchanged.
The editing values are within the following ranges:
+19.8dBu ÷ -10dBu, with 0.2dBu steps
7.574V ÷ 0.245V with variable steps
The measurement unit can be chosen with the
Lim. Thresh. Unit
function (
UTILITY
menu -
Units
submenu). The
Off
value disables the Compressor/Limiter, whereas any other value enables it.

IMPORTANT! Enabling the Compressor/Limiter on a specific output also changes the way in which the
level is displayed on the corresponding
LED ladder
: in fact, the level shown on this ladder is no longer
the “absolute” output level, but the
level of the signal at -24dB, -12dB, -6dB compared to the COM-
PRESSOR/LIMITER’s threshold
(orange

no matter what the threshold value is
