5.4.3 COMPRESSORS
In the Multiband control page, you can define the amount of compression Threshold to apply to each bandwidth,
ranging from a minimum of - 12.0 dB to a maximum of + 8.0 dB. Using this control, you can set the threshold at which
the compressor must react. A Threshold setting of 0 dB (extreme high) means that the compressor only works when the
level of that bandwidth reaches of 0 dB. Conversely, a setting of -9.0 dB (extreme low) means that the compressor starts
to work when the audio level within that bandwidth reaches at least -9.0 dB. Clearly, with a setting of around 0 dB, the
compressor tends to work very little and therefore maintains the original quality of the audio material inputted into the
processor. Values closer to -9 dB, meanwhile, tend to keep the compressor working constantly and therefore, as the
dynamics are reduced, the audio inputted into the audio processor will generally be processed (with values between -6.0
dB and +6.0 dB).
Multiband Proc. Type:
This control shows process behaviour of this device. Various controls are grouped together under a few simple use
conditions. The controls grouped together in these four functions are conventional preset controls for a multiband
compressor, i.e. Attack, Release, and Threshold Gate. The action and compression modes are (Protective, Soft, Normal,
Aggressive-1…..5, Extreme) .
PROTECTIVE is a limited type of compression, which tends to maintain a natural sound. In the NORMAL mode, the
compression parameters applied to the audio sent to the processor are slightly emphasized and the compression ratio is
increased, while a balance is maintained between the audio details of the material inputted and the compression applied.
The conditions for AGGRESSIVE and EXTREME, meanwhile, are different, as strong compression ratios are entered for
the AGGRESSIVE mode and even stronger ones are used for the EXTREME mode, creating a typically ‘pumped up’
sound. Generally speaking, the Multiband Process Aggressive and Extreme modes are designed to emphasize audio
material that already has little musical detail. This could be continuous musical content, such as heavy metal or hard
rock, or particularly complex audio material.
Multiband Coupling:
The bandwidth coupling control can limit the ability of the bandwidths to work too independently, thereby destroying
the spectral balance of the original audio material inputted in the processor. The options available are (LOW, MID, HIGH)
where Low means a low coupling between the bandwidths, so that they can work as independent as possible, while
HIGH tends to make the bandwidths work together as much as possible. MID mode offers a good compromise to enable
greater re-equalization for a more coherent tonal balance.
