Assigning ONLY the Input A, in example, with full amplitude to the output 1, the LCD will appear as follow for the In-

A Sub Menu: 

Out-1          Out-1          Source

 

 -->In-A   Mute=Off   Val=00

 
 
 
And as follow for the Sub Menu related to the other Inputs and accessed through the PM1 encoder: 
 

 

 

Out-1          Out-1        Source

 

 -->In-B   Mute=On  Val=00

  -->In-C      Mute=On      Val=00

 
 

 

 

Out-1            Out-1        Source

 

  -->In-D      Mute=On      Val=00

 
 
 

Once back to the Main Source Page after the above selection, the screen will appear as follow: 
 
 

Out-1          Out-1          Source

 

 A: 00      B:---      C:---   

 

 

 

Gain page

 – from this screen it is possible to set the Output Channels Level from -18dB to +18dB, press ENTER 

an arrow will appear on the left of the screen “

->

”    then use the “PM2” or “PM3” buttons. 

The value set on this screen will only affect the input level of the selected Channel 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8.   
The following is an example screen for the “Gain” page where the Gain of the Output Channel 1 is set to +0.0dB 
 
 

Out-1          Name            Gain 
-> Gain  =  +  0.0dB 

 
 
 

 

RMS Cmp sub-menu [1/2]

 – from this page it is possible to set the Threshold and Ratio parameters of the Output 

Channels RMS Compressor. 
The following is an example screen for the RMS Compressor [1/2] page where the Threshold of the RMS 
Compressor is set at +5dBu and the Ratio at 2:1 
 
 

Out-1        Name        RMS Cmp

Thr: +5dBu   Rto: 2:1 

 
 
 
 
Once pushing ENTER the RMS Compressor's parameters can be modified using the “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for 
editing the Threshold and the Ratio. 

Once pushing ENTER the above screen will change as follows: 
 
 

Out-1        Name      RMS Cmp

->Thr:  +5dBu      Rto: 2:1 

 
 
 
 
As said, the Threshold and Ratio can be edited using the “PM2” and “PM3” encoders. 
 
“

Threshold

”: the selectable range of the RMS Compressor's Threshold is from +20dBu (OFF) to -10dBu in steps of 

0.2dBu 

The Threshold can be adjusted by rotating the “PM2” encoder. 
“

Ratio

”: the selectable range of the RMS Compressor's Ratio is from 1:1 (Off) up to 32:1 (Lim) in steps of 1 and 

can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder. 
 

Note

: The RMS Compressor Threshold is defined in dBu, due to the fact that with both, Sinusoid and Squared wave 

testing signals, the WS-P48 compressed output dBu (RMS) Level is the same and matching the selected one.
