COMPRESSOR POT
The COMPRESSOR pot sets the 3 essential parameters of
a compressor : Threshold, Ratio, and Makeup.
Threshold is the point at which the compressor begins
to react. A signal below this threshold won’t be affected
by the compression process, and a signal above the
threshold will be compressed. Threshold of the BOUM
compressor varies between -30 and -15 dB, depending
on the position of the COMPRESSOR pot.
Ratio
determines the intensity of the compression
effect, and is expressed by the relation in dB between
the input and the output signals. For instance a ratio of
10:1 means that a 10 dB increase above the threshold
at the input will lead to a progression of only 1 dB at the
output. Therefore the dynamic range of the input signal
is attenuated at the compressor output.
A 1:1 ratio is equivalent to no compression.
A
∞ :1 ratio is called a limiter because the output level
stays constant when the input signal rises above the
threshold.
1:-1 is a kind of over compression since a progression
of 1 dB at the input above the threshold will lead to an
attenuation of 1 dB at the output. The more the input
signal rises above the threshold, the more the output
signal is lowered. This kind of ratio can create dynamic
reversal effects.
Makeup is the output ampli fi er gain and compensates
for the level loss generated by the compressor action.
With BOUM, you don’t have to know how to set these 3
parameters, you just have to turn the COMPRESSOR pot
for more or less compression !
Here is a layout of the ratios :
PROTECT YOUR EARS !
BOUM, in combination with an external ampli fi cation
system or headphones, may generate a high sound
level, which could potentially damage your ears.
Do not operate BOUM for a long period of time at a
high volume level. It’s safer to keep reasonable level
and start with low volume.
