Fig. 11: Setting the compression threshold
Fig. 12: Setting the attack time, this is the time between the input signal and the actual response of the compressor
Fig. 13: Setting the decay time, this is the time the compressor needs to respond after the input signal falls back to normal level (below threshold).
Fig. 14: Setting the integration interval, this is the time the DSP evaluates the signal to establish whether it should respond or not
Integration interval determines the energy needed to trip the compressor. In simple words; it determines how long the audio
needs to be loud for the compressor to respond by reducing the gain. This is not to be confused with attack time. Attack
time of 50ms means the compressor will respond in 50ms after the signal spike is detected, regardless of duration of that
spike, even if it is just a very short event. With longer integration interval, on the other hand, compressor only responds if a
long spike or a substantial number of spikes is detected (meaning more signal energy).
<LCD CONTRAST>
Select for the best visibility. Contrast is slightly affected by ambient temperature and you can adapt it to your needs here.

Left and right channel volume (only with DSP stereo encoders)
This option allows you to precisely adjust the input sensitivity of both audio channels. This is very useful when your audio source has either too
high or too low output level.
