Operators Manual
Make-up Gain Control:
Apply extra gain to compensate for the
compression gain reduction, helping to maintain the signal at its
original level.
MODE
Key:
Switch between normal compression mode, and De-
EQ mode, where only the frequency band selected with the sidechain
EQ is monitored and compressed.
Sidechain EQ Type:
Choose the shape of the sidechain
filter moving between, from top to bottom, high shelf;
narrow ‘Q’ parametric; ‘wide ‘Q’ parametric; low shelf.
Sidechain EQ Frequency:
Select the frequency range
over which the sidechain filter will operate – this will be
the centre frequency of the filter in parametric mode, or
the corner frequency of the filter in shelf mode.
LISTEN
Key:
Switches the output of the sidechain filter into the main signal path,
so that the required range of frequencies may be more easily selected. LED flashes as
a reminder that this is selected.
Sidechain EQ Gain Key:
Adjust the gain of the sidechain filter to sensitise or
desensitise the compressor. +6/9/15
of gain is available, as well as 0db (off).
Limiter Threshold Control:
Set the threshold for the onset of
limiting – effectively bypass the limiter by setting the threshold to
+22dB.
Limiter Activity Meter:
Yellow LED illuminates when the
threshold is reached, with the red LED indicating 4dB into
limiting.
STEREO
Key:
Enabling the ‘Stereo’ mode will disable the right hand set of controls
and force both channels to assume the parameter values of the left channel. The
sidechains are also linked so that the two channels track perfectly, maintaining the
stereo image.
