Ratio parameter
(Manual Compression mode only)
Use the Ratio parameter to set the amount of
compression that should be applied when the
signal level is over the Threshold. The Ratio is
defined as a “1:X” ratio, where “X” is the number
of decibels (dB) of reduction in level for every 1
dB over the “Threshold” value.
Gate parameter
The gate turns down the volume of the micro-
phone/line signal when the input signal falls un-
der a certain threshold.
Use the Gate parameter to choose between
adaptive (automatic) and manual compression.
Parameter settings:
►
Off: No Gate is applied.
►
Adaptive: The Gate is adjusted automatically.
►
Manual: The Gate threshold can be set by
the user.
Lead Atten(uation) parameter
(Adaptive & Manual Gate mode only)
Use the Lead Atten(uation) parameter to set the
attenuation of the lead voice once the signal falls
under the threshold.
