Ganged
For stereo use, press the “
ganged
” key. This locks
together channel 1 and channel 2 gain and threshold
controls. Additionally, if “
ganged
” is active, the com-
pressor / limiter links
1
the sidechains of the two chan-
nels. Typical applications for “
ganged
” mode are
•
stereo (left/right) recordings with two micro-
phones
•
stereo insert limiting (during mixdown or master-
ing).
If “
ganged
” is not active, channel 1 and channel 2
settings are independent and the compressor / limiter
works unlinked. Thus the ADC2 can also be used in a
studio recording / mixing environment as dual channel
outboard compressor / limiter.
1
“sidechain linking ” means that the same gain reduction is
applied to both channels to avoid corrupting the stereo
balance.
