When PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor mode is enabled, the Compressor module contains the

following controls:

• Compressor mode. Toggles between the two available compressor modes:

• PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor (labeled 76).

• PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor (labeled 4K).

• Clipping LED. Shows if the input signal to the Compressor module is clipping. If there is any

distortion in the ProChannel signal chain, the clipping LEDs let you identify where the clipping

occurs.

• Compressor enable/disable . Enables/disables the Compressor module.

• VU meter. Shows the amount of gain reduction.

• Input. Determines the relative threshold and total amount of gain reduction. The valid range is -

20 dB to +40 dB, and the default value is -0.2 dB.

Tip:

The PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor does not have a dedicated threshold control, but

instead has a fixed threshold level and uses the

Input

control to determine the relative threshold as

well as the total amount of gain reduction. To set a specific amount of compression, first turn the

Input

and

Output

controls all the way down, adjust the

Attack

control in order to engage gain

reduction, then finally adjust the

Input

control until the desired amount of gain reduction is achieved.
