Compressor/Limiter (Edit Menu):
-
The Compressor/Limiter ( ) function allows the signal of
each individual output to be kept within a set level range. This gives several benefits. By limiting peak output
levels it helps protect the components of a sound system and at the same time provides a more consistent
listening level. It also allows a higher average listening level, so that softer parts of the music can be more
clearly heard without the user having to hastily adjust the volume control on every musical crescendo.
Select MODE NEXT x7 Press ENTER.
You are presented with the Compressor/Limiter settings for Output 1 (OP1). Use the arrow keys to select
each parameter: (default shows ), (default shows ),
and (default shows i.e. bypass mode).
The selected parameter will flash to show it is editable. Adjust the setting by using the rotary control. Press
NEXT to set the Comp/Limiter function on each of the remaining 5 channels (OP2-OP6). Press ESC to quit
this mode.
: the selectable values are (Normal or medium setting), and ,
allowing a choice of 3 reaction speeds combining attack and release times. You can choose whether the
Comp/Limiter reacts more rapidly or slower than the default setting when the signal exceeds or drops
below the threshold you set.
Attack 1ms, Release 10ms. Generally more suited to outputs dedicated to high frequencies
(i.e. Tweeters).
- Attack 8ms, Release 80ms. Suited to the majority of applications (full-range systems and outputs
dedicated to mid frequencies).
Attack 45ms, Release 450ms. Longer attack/release times for avoiding rapid repeated level change
(pumping effect). Generally most suited to outputs dedicated to low frequencies (i.e. Subwoofers).
The default setting is (Limiting) which is infinite compression. In theory, Limiting
does not allow any signal to pass beyond the Level Threshold you set. In practice some signal must pass to
