DYN (dynamics)
Type Details Parameter / eect
P01: Limiter
Limits excessive input.
Attack:
Time until compression begins
Sens:
Sensitivity of operation
P02: Comp Hard
P03: Comp Soft
Limits high levels to make the sound more consis-
tent and improve the loudness.
"Comp Hard" applies the eect more strongly, and
"Comp Soft" applies the eect more gently.
P04: NsGate Hard
P05: NsGate Soft
Reduces noise by turning down the output when the
input level is low.
"NsGate Hard" applies the eect more strongly, and
"NsGate Soft" applies the eect more gently.
Release:
Time until the output is reduced
Sens:
Sensitivity (threshold that is consid-
ered to be noise)
GEQ (graphic equalizer)
Mode Contents
Wide (default)
A basic wide-type graphic equalizer.
Since each band is wide, nine bands cover the entire frequency range, making this suitable for
adjusting the overall sound.
The frequency of each band is fixed.
Narrow
A high-class 1/3rd octave graphic equalizer.
Since each band is narrow, this allows you to make detailed adjustments as appropriate for the
acoustics of the live venue, or to increase the feedback margin.
The frequency of each of the nine bands can be adjusted, and you can select the frequencies
from the standard steps of a typical 31-band rack-mounted EQ.
DFX (digital eect)
Type Details Parameter / eect
