What is a Compressor-Limiter? A compressor-limiter is a device for controlling the “dynamic range” of an audio signal. The dynamic range is how we describe the variance between quiet and loud passages of audio. For example, a snare drum has a very dramatic, loud attack which dies out to quiet very quickly, whereas a note played on a violin has a fairly constant moderate sound level – these have very different “dynamics”.

Operation With amplifiers turned down, power up the CL22 and set all controls to the default position as follows… Turn the EXPANDER/GATE THRESHOLD to “OFF”, Set COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD to “0” and ratio to “1” and OUTPUT to “0”. The ENHANCER should be set to “OFF” and STEREO LINK set depending upon the configuration (stereo or dual mono setup) Play the audio signal to be processed and gradually turn up the amplifier/recording device. Audio should now be heard unaffected.
