Thrust

Sets the Thrust, a proprietary process that inserts a High Pass Filter at the RMS detector input, limiting compression response to lower frequencies while applying additional compression to higher frequencies.

In Norm mode, there is no filter and the 2500 functions like a normal compressor.

In Med mode, there is a slight attenuation of the low frequencies and a slight boost of the high frequencies, with a flat mid range affecting the signal into the RMS detector. This reduces pumping caused by low frequencies and increases the RMS detectors’ sensitivity to higher frequencies, affecting higher frequency signal peaks.

In Loud mode, a gradual linear filter attenuates level by 15dB at 20hz and increases level by 15dB at 20khz. This decreases low frequency pumping while increasing higher frequency compression.
