3 COMP setting area
This type of signal processing compresses the dynamic range. Use this to prevent
problems that can occur in the sound if the input exceeds a certain level (threshold).
•COMP graph
The effect of the compressor is shown by this graph. The horizontal axis is the input
signal level, and the vertical axis is the output level.
• GR meter
Indicates the amount of gain reduction.
• COMP [ON] button
Turns the compressor on/off.
•[THRESHOLD] knob
Specifies the threshold level at which the compressor will take effect.
• [RATIO] knob
Specifies the compression ratio.
When the threshold level is exceeded, the output signal will be adjusted at the ratio
specified by “input signal : output signal.”
For example with a setting of 4:1, the portion of the signal that exceeds the threshold
value will be compressed to 1/4th.
• [KNEE] knob
Specifies how compression will be applied.
With the [HARD] setting, compression will operate like a limiter. If the [HARD]
setting produces an unnatural impression, raise the value. However, raising the value
excessively will increase the amount of compression for the portion below the
threshold level.
•[ATTACK] knob
Specifies the attack time (the time from when the input signal exceeds the threshold
until the maximum compression is reached).
•[RELEASE] knob
Specifies the release time (the time from when the input signal falls below the
threshold until compression is no longer applied).
•[GAIN] knob
Adjusts the output gain.
