Select the Enable Compressor checkbox to activate the compressor.
With the compressor you can change the gain transfer characteristics of the signal path and control the dynamics of
a signal. When the signal exceeds the Threshold level, gain reduction occurs at the rate specified by the reduction
Ratio. The Attack time determines how aggressively the compressor reacts to increases in level. The Release time
controls how aggressively the compressor reacts to reductions in level.
Compressors and compressor groups can be established only for the Converge Pro unit being configured. They
cannot be configured for use across multiple units.
Group
Use the Group radio buttons to assign this compressor to a compressor group. The default is None. When you
assign a compressor to a compressor group—such as a group of three configured for bass, midrange, and
treble—the compressors will monitor each other. When one compressor channel compresses, all compressors in
the group compress together. When configured properly, this results in a smooth audio response throughout the
frequency range, with no bass, midrange, or treble dropouts. A given compressor group must be configured for a
single Converge Pro unit; a group cannot use compressors from multiple units.
Post Compressor Gain
Adjust the compressor gain with the slider or by using the Up/Down arrow buttons. The graph reflects the input/
output decibel levels with the gain setting you select.
Threshold
Determines the RMS level at which the compressor begins to operate. The range is from -30 to +20dBu. The default
is 0dBu.
Ratio
Changes the rate of compression applied to the input signal as the signal exceeds the threshold level. The range is
1:1 to 1:20dB. The default is 1:1.
Attack
Determines how quickly compression is enabled. It is calibrated in milliseconds. The range is 0 to 100ms in .5ms
steps. Default is 10ms.
