ms to 40 ms in 1 ms steps. The default setting is 1 ms.

Rel:

Scroll through and select the limiter release from 10 ms to 2 s in 10 ms steps.

Knee:

Select the aggressiveness of the onset of limiting between a hard or soft knee.

6 . 9 EQ

Use the EQ function to set the Input Channel and Output Channel equalization by selecting the Ato D or 1 to 8 buttons. Each channel’s EQ section has 10 filters. Each EQ section has the following variable parameters. The available parameters depend on the selected Type.

Parametric EQ:

Sets the entire EQ section (filters 1 to 10) to In (active) or Out (inactive).

Type:

Scroll through and select the type for each parametric filter: Bell, 6 dB LoShelf,

 

12 dB LoShelf, 6 dB HiShelf, 12 dB HiShelf, 6 dB HPF, 12 dB HPF, 6 dB LPF,

 

or 12 dB LPF.

BW:
