CONTROL DESCRIPTION

Threshold:

Determines the input level above which gain reduction will be applied and may be

set in the range -30dB to infinity. Because the compression system is based on

the Soft Knee principle, the onset of compression is progressive, so no Ratio

control is necessary.

Big:

Makes the compressor side chain less sensitive to low bass frequencies, so

reducing the ducking effect caused by bass energy and effectively boosting the

bass output, the 'Bigger' option more so.

Attack:

Six switchable Attack settings are provided giving various settings. The actual

attack time is further modified by the release setting chosen

Attack Times: 1 2 ms

2 8 msec

3 15 msec

4 25 msec

5 30 msec

6 50 msec

Release:

There are three fixed Release times and a further three which are programme

dependent. Switch settings 1 through to 3 provide progressively increasing

release times, while positions 4, 5 and 6 cause the release times to vary in a

manner which automatically adapts to the dynamics of the incoming signal, as

detailed below.

Release Times 1 100 ms (Fixed)

2 500 msec (Fixed)

3 1 sec (Fixed)

4 Semi-Auto 200 ms to 2 sec Signal dependent

5 Semi-Auto 500 ms to 5 sec signal dependent

6 Automatic 1 sec to 10 sec signal dependent
