Dynamics Mode
When Dynamics Mode is selected for the Upper Display, you have ac-
cess to a complete multi-mode Dynamics processor for the channel.
You use the Type pop-up menu (right above the “Parameters” label)
to select which type of dynamics processing to use:
Type Description
Comp A compressor, attenuating signals above a specified threshold level.
Gate Mutes signals below a specified threshold level.
Ducking Attenuates the signal when the level exceeds a specified threshold. Nor-
mally, the signal used for level detection (the Key In signal - see below) is
another than the processed signal. For example, a common use for duck-
ing would be voice-overs, when the background music level should be re-
duced each time the announcer speaks.
Expand An expander, attenuating signals below a specified threshold level, thus
reducing low-level noise and effectively increasing the dynamic range.
Compand
(H or S) A combination of compressor, expander and limiter: The compressor
compresses signals that exceed a specified threshold level, while the
expander attenuates signals below a level determined by the threshold
level and the Width setting. The limiter prevents the signal from exceed-
ing 0 dB.
The two compander types (H and S, for Hard and Soft) have different
expansion ratios; CompandH will attenuate low level signals more dras-
tically than CompandS.
