Threshold (-40 to +20 dBu)
Sets the level above which signals will be compressed or limited.
Rotating the control clockwise raises the threshold, thus clamping sig-
nals at a higher level and reducing the amount of compression or lim-
iting.
Ratio (1:1 to :1)
Sets the compression slope, which determines how the output signal
will change in relation to the input signal once the input signal exceeds
the threshold. The first digit indicates how many dB of input change
will cause a 1 dB output change. The higher the ratio, the greater the
compression, and the more "squeezed" the sound.
Examples: With a setting of 2:1, a 2 dB input change for signals above
the threshold results in a 1 dB output change. With a setting of 1:1, a 1
dB input change results in a 1dB output change (i.e., there is no change
to the signal dynamics). With a setting of :1, the output level remains
virtually constant regardless of input level changes.
Attack (0.1 ms to 200 ms)
This control works only with the Peak/RMS switch (section 1.5) in
