Three types of compressor are provided as standard; Normal,
Custom,
and Classic.
Normal and Classic provide
comprehensive control of the compression function, while
Custom has fewer adjustments and is quicker to set up.
Digital dynamics processing provides highly accurate,
repeatable gain reduction and extreme ranges of control
parameters. For example, the limiter can be set to zero
attack time and the hold time for the gate can be set to 10
seconds. The panel also features gain reduction metering for
each section. A stereo compressor is also available on the
Main stereo output.
It is easy to link and key dynamics processing between channels, as
the OXF-R3 supports both Link to Neighbour and Side-Chain Busses.
These Side-Chain Busses allow dynamics grouping of non-adjacent
channels, as well as providing keying effects.

The Dynamics Processors for the Full channels have four, entirely independent, sections – compressor,
expander, limiter and gate. These act together at a single point in the channel path. The Stereo Return
channels feature the compression and gating sections. The compressor can also act as a limiter by setting
its ratio to infinity:1.
Each of these sections has appropriate control of threshold, ratio/range, attack, hold, release and gain make
up, variable knee and side-chain EQ. Extensive side-chain linking functions are also provided. This gives
unprecedented control over dynamics. All parameters are controlled from the ‘Free Assign Area &
Dynamics’ panel and displayed on the associated colour graphical screen.
The optional DMSK-R3001 software provides an emulation of the
GML 8900 dynamics processor.
