MODEL See reverse side of this card
KEY ENGAGED/ Selects the side chain signal to cause the Compressor to begin reducing signal
DISENGAGED dynamics range once it exceeds the selected threshold.
OUTPUT -24 to +24 dB Amount of make-up gain applied to to master signal.
Ø (PHASE) ON/OFF Polarity (phase) of the final output. When yellow LED is lit, signal is 180 from
original.
IN -24 to +12 dB Amount of input gain prior to compression.
THRESHOLD - 45 to 0 dB Level at which the compresson starts.
COMPRESSION 1:1 to 20:1 Ratio of input to output levels for compressor. As input exceeds the THRESHOLD, it
is compressed by an amount determined by this control.
ATTACK 0.01 to 10 msec The rate at which the compressor responds to signals as they rise above the
THRESHOLD.
RELEASE 50 to 1000 msec The rate at which the compressor stops responding to signals as they fall below the
THRESHOLD.
2X ON / OFF Doubles the rate of the attack and release ..
METER
GR Gain Reduction Gain Reduction amount in dB
IN Input Input signal amount in dB
OUT Output Output signal in dB
CLIP LED Lights when the signal is about to clip. The clip light can be cleared by clicking the
light with the mouse.
