The dynamics DSP module can be configured for sources and summing busses.
The module includes an independent compressor, expander and gate.

Press the
DYN
function button to adjust the dynamics for the source or summing bus in access - the
controls update to show the parameters for one of the sections: e.g. the Compressor.

Compressor
The following parameters are available for the compressor:
·
DYN
- on/off for
all
dynamics sections: compressor, expander, gate (and de-esser/automix).
·
COMP
- on/off for the compressor
.
·
Gain
- makeup gain from -12dB to 0dB.
·
THRS
- threshold from -93dB to +27dB.
·
Ratio
- ratio from 1:1 to 1:16
·
ATT
- attack time from 0.16ms to 82ms.
·
RLS -
release time from 10ms to 5000ms.
Both
DYN
and
COMP
must
be enabled (red) for the compressor to be active. If the master
DYN
button is not
enabled, then the
COMP
button is dim to indicate that the compressor is not yet active.
The characteristic of the compressor is optimised for radio on-air operation:
The ratio pivot point moves around the working point according to the input signal level and not around a fixed
threshold. This allows the ratio to adapt without having to change the level considerably.
