COMPRESSOR SECTION:

Gain:
The gain control is used to «make up» for the gain loss, which takes place when the unit is compressing. It is placed after the gain-reduction circuit and therefore has no influence on the threshold setting. The gain-control is continuously variable from Off to +30 dB.

Ratio:
The ratio control varies the ratio by which the input signal is compressed. If the ratio selected is to 2:1, and the input signal increases 10 dB, the output signal is only increased by 5 db. The ratio control is continuously variable from 2:1 to 10:1.

Threshold:
The threshold is the point where the compressor begins its action. The threshold is continuously variable from +2dBU to -40 dBU.

Meter:
The VU-meter switch has three positions:
1. Input - The meter is reading the level at the input socket;
2. Compression - The VU-meter is reading gain reduction. Its rest position is «0 VU», and the amount of compression is shown as a decreasing
deflection in dB;
3. Output - The VU-meter is reading the level at the output socket.

Comp. In (Compressor in):
This leverswitch switches the compressor in and out of the signal path. The out position bypasses the entire compressor.

Attack:
The attack control chooses how fast/slow the compressor responds to an increase in the input signal. The attack control is continuously variable from 0.5 to 300 milliseconds.

Release:
The release control chooses how fast/slow the compressor responds to a decrease in the input signal. The release control is continuously variable from 0.05 to 10 seconds.

Attack/Release Select:
This switch selects how the compressor reacts to an increase (attack) or decrease (release) of the input signal. There are three settings of the switch:
1. Fixed - Attack time: 1 msec, Release time: 50 msec;
2. Fix./Man. - This setting combines the release times of fixed and manual mode. The attack time is as in the fixed mode;
3. Manual - Attack time: from 0.5 msec to 300 msec, Release time: from 0.05 sec to 10 sec.

Mix:
This button («wet/dry» knob) on a compressor allows you to blend a heavily compressed signal with an uncompressed «dry» signal, adding punch and energy while retaining dynamic integrity.

SIDE CHAIN SECTION:

SC EQ IN:
This button turns the Side Chain Equalizer on or off. SC EQ works with both external and internal Side Chain.

Side Chain Equalizer:
SC EQ is positioned first in the detection block, right after the sound splits between main signal and detection signal. SC EQ offers the possibility to sculpt the sound by manipulating some frequencies (cut low frequencies, for example) prior to detection, this way, we can avoid some compression artifacts these frequencies could cause.

Listen:
This button enables listening to the Side Chain signal.

Level:
The Side Chain Level slider at the right adjusts the level of the incoming trigger signal. This can for example be useful if the input level is quite soft.

Details:
Universal: Yes
Minimum OS version: 10.0
