AUDIO CONTROL
the screen. This condition is also displayed in the software. In the event of a change in the signal, the AGC function
always waits for a set time of 0.5 seconds before acting.
16.4.5 L/R Linkage
This control determines the percentage by which the left-hand and right-
hand channels are connected together. A 0% setting means the LR
channel is completely decoupled and the processing architecture is of a
dual mono kind. 100% linkage means that the input audio content is
stereo balanced.
The lower the linkage percentage, the greater the stereo image, resulting in a particularly "large" sound (
Fat or Phat , in
jargon)
Let’s have a look at a practical example: with a 90% value and a right-hand channel input level about -6dB lower than the
left channel, if you wait a few minutes you will notice that the analog, digital, and composite outputs have, respectively,
the left-hand channel and the right-hand channel virtually aligned.
16.4.6 Idle Compression and Idle Speed
These two controls are fundamental in AGC work, as they show the
value at which the AGC must not do anything when there is no audio in
the AGC; idling, therefore, is when the AGC is inactive. The Idle Speed,
meanwhile, is the speed at which the level of AGC work is locked.
Allowable values are from Locked, i.e. with no activity, up to a maximum
of +2.0 dB/second.
16.4.7 Work Zone Threshold& Work Zone Release
These two controls act when, after "X" seconds, the AGC has stabilized
and reached its working point (i.e. the Work Zone). This gating control,
which is separate from the gate threshold, makes sure that the AGC is
not active when it has reached its work values. The values can be set at
from Disable to 15dB and any value other than Disable prevents the AGC
operating excessively when the audio waveform has already reached the
average peak value. The higher this value is (6.0dB - 15.0dB), the less
the original signal will be affected by the AGC work, and therefore will be
‘cleaner’
If, on the other hand, the command is Disabled, the AGC can intervene intensely, which results in considerable level
changes and the original audio signal sounding more "pumped up."
16.4.8 Band Coupling
The Band Coupling control allows you to reduce the effects of the
multiband process by attempting to pair up, to a certain extent, the
AGC work bandwidths. You may want this effect in order to limit the of
re-equalization effect of the multiband AGC and the limiters. The
recommended reference value is 50% - 60%.
16.4.9 Pre-Process Equalizer
The Pre-Process Equalizer is a Falcon XT feature that allows you to introduce an
equalizer with free curves that can be customised to suit your own taste, and fit it
in before the multiband processor unit.
The effect introduced by this feature is extremely clear as regards the vocal
frequency spectrum, or specific presets with low compression levels. Where
presets with high compression levels are concerned, the multiband unit located after the pre-equalizer tends to cancel
out the effects.
16.4.10 Speech Detector
The speech detector function is a key operating parameter for the audio
processor.
It allows you to detect when spoken material is applied to the audio processor
input. Speech recognition is essential to be able to switch off audio processes
where voices inputted may change significantly in terms of timbre, colour and
footprint. We recommend you always leave this control on.
