broadcasting stations.
■ MBC4
This four-band compressor offers intuitive operability.
Parameter Range Description
INPUT ADJUST –15.0 to +15.0 dB
Adjusts the input gain. However, the output gain changes
inversely in tandem with the level of this parameter so that the
volume remains the same as the pass-through volume. For
example if INPUT ADJUST is +5 dB, the input gain is +5 dB and
the output gain is –5 dB.
LINK ON, OFF Turns the stereo link on/off (only for stereo).
METER IN, GR, OUT Selects the signal source of the meter (only for stereo).
VU IN, OUT Selects the signal source for the VU meter (only for dual).
COMP IN ON, OFF Turns the compressor on/off.
COMP RATIO 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1 Compressor ratio
COMP GAIN 0.0 to +20.0 dB Makeup gain of the compressor
COMP RECOVERY
100 ms, 400 ms, 800 ms,
1500 ms, a1, a2
Release time of the compressor. For a1 (auto 1) and a2 (auto 2),
the release time changes automatically.
a1: automatically changes in the range of 100 ms to 2sec.
a2: automatically changes in the range of 50 ms to 5 sec.
COMP THRESHOLD –40 to –5 dBFS Threshold of the compressor
LIMIT IN ON, OFF Turns the limiter on/off.
LIMIT ATTACK FAST, SLOW
Attack time of the limiter
FAST: 2 ms, SLOW: 4 ms
LIMIT RECOVERY
50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms,
800 ms, a1, a2
Release time of the limiter. For a1 (auto 1) and a2 (auto 2), the
release time changes automatically.
a1: automatically changes in the range of 100 ms to 2sec.
a2: automatically changes in the range of 50 ms to 5 sec.
LIMIT THRESHOLD –16 to –5 dBFS Threshold of the limiter
