High Level Compressor

The MV360˚ High Level Compression function is comprised of compression with automatic makeup gain and output level control.

The Compressor function is similar to that of Waves Renaissance Vox. The compressor is controlled by the Threshold fader, which sets the amount of desired dynamic range compression. An automatic gain makeup function compensates for gain reduction resulting from the applied compression.

Link Modes

MV360° offers 5 Link Modes which let you use up to 3 separate sidechains that address the most commonly used sound stage disciplines.

™All Linked

In this mode, all channels are linked, maintaining the balance between the 5 main channels and the LFE channel.

™5 Linked Sub

This mode fully preserves the surround image, but does not attenuate/boost the directional channels in conjunction with peaks in the LFE channel.

™Front Rear Sub

This mode is useful in situations when rear channel ambience and effects don’t require attenuation/boost in conjunction with front channel music or dialog.

™Center Quad Sub

This mode offers independent dynamic control over dialog, overall surround image, and LFE channel.

™Center Front LR Rear (LFE Is Bypassed)

This mode offers the most control over the surround image, and its functionality is similar to that of three independent dynamics processors.

Dither

MV360˚ automatically applies dither, which compensates for digital quantization errors.
