The STC reacts differently depending on these three parameters (
):
●
level meter output value < compressor threshold < limiter threshold: under these
circumstances the signal level is small enough to not require any type of
limiting/compressing action. The signal remains unchanged.
●
compressor threshold < level meter output value < limiter threshold: under these
circumstances the signal level is compressed to a ratio determined by the compressor
rate.
●
compressor threshold < limiter threshold < level meter output value: under these
circumstances the signal level exceeds the limiter threshold which represents the
maximum output power allowed. The signal is limited to avoid unpredictable effects
and damages.
The compressor threshold, the limiter threshold and the compressor rate are all user-
selectable parameters. The compressor threshold range of value is [-48, 0] dB with a
0.25 dB step. The limiter threshold range of values is [-24, +12] dB with a 0.25 dB step. The
compressor ratio range of value is [0, 15], the meaning of these values is specified in
. For further details please refer to
. Either setting the compressor rate to
1:1 or setting the compressor threshold greater than the limiter threshold makes the STC
behave as a pure limiter (
