VU Meter Operation
The VU Meter is used for both output level monitoring and gain reduction monitoring.
When used to monitor the output level, the user may choose 4 dB or +10 dB
settings. The middle setting is for gain reduction, and the meter reads the amount of
compression in dB.
Limit / Compress Switch
The Limit/Compress Switch changes the characteristics of the compressor IO curve. When
in the Compress position, the curve is more gentle, and presents a low compression ratio.
A higher compression ratio results when the switch is set to the Limit position.
