DYNAMICS 1/2 window (CH 1-48, CH 49-72/ST IN (CL5), CH 49-

64/ST IN (CL3), ST IN (CL1), OUTPUT)

This window enables you to make settings of the global dynamics parameters for the

corresponding channel.

1 Channel select button

Selects the channel that you want to control. The current channel icon, number,

threshold, and color appear on the button.

2 Dynamics parameter area

This area displays the dynamics type and various meters. Press the area to access the

DYNAMICS 1ch window of that channel.

If DUCKING, EXPANDER, COMPANDER (-H/-S), or DE-ESSER has been selected as the

dynamics type, the type appears near the top of this area.

The lower part of this area displays meters that indicate the levels of signals after

dynamics processing, the GR meter, and the threshold (a numeric value). If the

dynamics processor is any type other than GATE, the threshold setting is indicated as a

vertical line.

Using the EQ/Dynamics libraries

You can use dedicated libraries to store and recall EQ and dynamics settings. For details on

using the EQ and dynamics libraries, refer to the “Using the library” section in the separate

Owner’s Manual.

EQ library

There is an “INPUT EQ LIBRARY” that lets you store/recall EQ

settings for input channels, and an “OUTPUT EQ LIBRARY” that

lets you store and recall EQ settings for output channels.

To recall settings from a library, press the LIBRARY tool button in

the /HPF/EQ window.

NOTE

You can recall 199 different settings from both the input EQ library and output EQ library. Forty

(40) of the input library items are read-only presets, and three (3) of the output library items are

read-only presets.

Dynamics library

Use the “Dynamics Library” to store and recall dynamics settings. All of the dynamics

processors on CL series units use this dynamics library. (However, the available types will

differ between an input channel’s Dynamics 1 and Dynamics 2, and an output channel’s

Dynamics 1. You can’t recall a type that cannot be used.

To recall an item from the dynamics library, press the LIBRARY tool button in the DYNAMICS

1/2 window.

NOTE

You can recall 199 different settings from the library. Forty-one (41) of these are read-only

presets.
