The compressor has the option to insert one of two filters in the sidechain directly before the RMS 
detector and after the Insert Point/Key input. 

F1 applies a high pass filter reducing the low frequencies applied to the sidechain and therefore those 
frequencies are less compressed leading to a punchier bass sound. 
 
P7: NO JUMPER. The filter has a 3dB point of 240Hz with an initial roll-off of 6dB/octave. 
P7: 1-2. The filter provides a 12dB/octave slope with a 3dB point of 175Hz. 
P7: 2-3. The filter has a 3dB point of 188Hz with al roll-off of 6dB/octave. 
(Slope and turnover points are nominal). 
THE DEFAULT SETTING IS WITH THE JUMPER ACROSS PINS 1-2. 

 

F2 applies a band pass filter which focuses the compressor’s detection circuit entirely on the midrange 
of the vocal and adds more presence. This technique also works well on bass guitar. 

 

P6: NO JUMPER. This provides a 6dB/octave slope with 3dB points of 278Hz and 3.14 kHz. 
P6: 1-2. The filter is 6dB/octave low pass only with a 3dB point of 2.76 kHz.  
P6: 2-3. The filter has 3dB points of 141Hz and 2.06 kHz with al roll-off of 6dB/octave. 
In all cases the low pass attenuation is limited to approx. 12dB at 10 kHz and 17dB above 100 kHz. 
(Slope and turnover points are nominal). 
THE DEFAULT SETTING IS WITH NO JUMPER.
