Audio Processor Options 

The audio processor in the T20 is capable of four 
modes of operation. The effects of these modes are 
charted in figure 7. 

Compressor Mode 

Compressor mode is used for hearing assistance to 
limit the dynamic range of the audio signals. 
Hearing impaired people generally have a reduced 
tolerance for wide dynamic range. The T20 is 
shipped in Compressor Mode. 

Noise Reduction Mode 

The T20 can also be configured for for 2:1 
compression. This is for use only with a receiver that 
has a 2:1 expansion circuit for noise reduction. 
Noise reduction is typically used in narrow-band 
operation for high quality audio. 

Soft Limit Mode 

The T20 can also operate in a soft limit mode, which 
allows full dynamic range of audio signals. This 
mode may be preferred for musical programs, but 
may provide too much dynamic range for hearing 
impaired listeners. 

Hard Limit Mode 

Hard Limit Mode is useful if the T20 has been 
installed with external signal processing. 

For assistance in selecting an alternate audio 
processing mode, contact Williams Sound technical 
assistance at 1-800-328-6190.
