 MBC4
This high-quality four-band compressor utilizes VCM technology and features a GUI that
offers operability and visibility. All of the advantages of the musical behavior of analog
compressors have been built into the gain reduction circuitry of the MBC4. This allows smooth
control of dynamics while keeping the sound image. You can also use the graphical display
to visually manipulate the sound image.
1 GAIN LINE
This horizontal red line indicates the GAIN parameter for each band.
2 MAXIMUM GR GUIDELINE
This horizontal orange line is a guideline for maximum gain reduction. This is only a
guideline, and not a strict limitation for maximum gain reduction.
3 GR ZONE
This red area changes according to the amount of gain reduction for each band.
4 CROSSOVER LINE
These vertical lines indicate the CROSSOVER parameters for each band.
5 CROSSOVER ZONE
These areas, in the color of the band, change according to the CROSSOVER parameter
for each band.
6 CROSSOVER RANGE
This horizontal bar for the band color indicates the range for the CROSSOVER parameter
for each band.
7 CROSSOVER BAND WIDTH
This horizontal bar for the band color changes according to the CROSSOVER parameter
for each band.
8 INPUT meter
Indicates the level of the input signal.
One meter appears in DUAL, while two meters appear in STEREO.
9 OUTPUT meter
Indicates the level of the output signal.
One meter appears in DUAL, while two meters appear in STEREO.
1 GAIN
Adjust the output gain for each band.
2 THRESH
Adjusts the threshold at which compression starts to be applied for each band. This
value is also indicated by a red marker in the
0 INPUT meter.
3 RATIO
Adjusts the compression ratio for each band.
