Pressing Threshold, Range, Ratio, Attack and Release
keys will immediately assign Lo, Mid, Hi, All and
LFE values for these parameters to Faders 1-4. Be aware
that the range of the All parameter is relative to the settings
of the same parameters in the Expander section.
Threshold
Range: -25dB to 20dB (in 0.5dB steps)
Sets the Threshold level at which the Compressor starts to
operate. The Threshold parameter relates to the Reference
Level setting.
Example: If the Reference Level is set to -18dBFS, a
Threshold setting of -4dB, will cause the compressor to
start operating at -22dBFS.
Gain
Range: Off, -18dB to 12dB in 0.5dB steps.
Adjusts the gain after the Compressor.
If the Auto Make-up gain parameter is set to On in
the Main page, these gains will already have been
adjusted according to the Threshold and Ratio
parameters.
Ratio
Range: Off to Infinity
Sets the Compression Ratio that must be performed above
the Threshold point.
Attack parameters
Range: 0.3 to 100ms
Sets the time the Compressor takes to reach the
attenuation specified by the Ratio parameter when the level
exceeds the Threshold point.
Release parameters
Range: 20ms to 7sec.
Sets the time the Compressor takes to release the
attenuation of the signal when the signal level drops below
the Threshold point.

Compressor
All LFE
Pressing any parameter will assign this to Fader 6.
All - parameters
These parameters are equivalent to the “All” - Threshold,
Range, Ratio, Attack and Release parameters.
LFE - parameters
These parameters are equivalent to the “LFE” - Threshold,
Range, Ratio, Attack and Release parameters.
All L M H page
Pressing any parameter will assign this to Fader 6.
This page holds all Compressor Threshold, Range, Ratio,
Attack and Release parameters for the Lo, Mid and Hi
bands.
