RRaattiioo
Determines the amount of compression, the higher the ratio the “stronger” the
processing and the lower the remaining dynamics range.
RRaannggee//AAttttaacckk
The Compressor’s attack time determines how fast the compressor will react on signals
exceeding the threshold. Shorter attack times will compress harder but might introduce a
“pumping” sound.
RReelleeaassee
The Release time determines how fast compressed signal returns to unprocessed,
whenever the level falls below the set Threshold.
LLIIMMIITTEERR
OOnn--SSwwiittcchh
3-Band Limiter On/Off
TThhrreesshhoolldd
Whenever the signal surpasses the set Threshold, the Limiter
processes it with a ratio of “infinite-to-one” (?:1) to limit the
possible maximal level.
RRaattiioo//SSooffttcclliipp
Softclip affects the way the Limiter works. In Off position, the signal will be limited
“hard” whenever the Threshold is surpassed. With Softclip active, limiting starts slightly
before the set Threshold and then glides into limiting using a much softer curve, making
the limiting process less audible. The Softclip LED beneath the Meters will indicate that
Softclip is working.
RRaannggee//AAttttaacckk
The Limiter’s attack time determines how fast the limiter will react on signals exceeding
the threshold.
RReelleeaassee
The Release time determines how fast the limited signal returns to unprocessed,
whenever the level falls below the set Threshold.

EEXXPPAANNDDEERR
OOnn--SSwwiittcchh
3-Band Expander on/off
TThhrreesshhoolldd
Sets the Expander’s threshold. Values below the threshold
will be lowered in volume according to the ratio set and
for the defined range.
RRaattiioo
The Ratio determines how much the output signal will be lowered in proportion to the
original signal.
RRaannggee
Range defines how far the Expander is able to lower the part of the signal which is
below the set Threshold value.
Example: When you set the Threshold to -40 dB, the Ratio to 1:2.0 and the Range to -10
dB, the Expander will only work when your input signal exceeds -50 dB and doesn’t go
over -40 dB.
RReelleeaassee
Release determines the time the Expander takes to return to the original signal level.
This parameter only has an effect, when the Threshold and Range parameters are set in
a way that the Expander is actually active.
CCOOMMPPRREESSSSOORR
OOnn//OOffff
3-Band Compressor on/off.
TThhrreesshhoolldd
Sets the Compressor’s threshold i.e. above what level it starts
processing. Values exceeding the threshold will be compressed.
