MINICOM COM800

3. THE PRESETS OF THE MINICOM

The COM800 comes with a total of 16 different presets. These pre-programmed compressor settings save you a lot of work and trouble. Depending on the application in question they give you the desired results. You don’t have to be familiar with the complex parameters of a compressor for your music to benefit from the use of the COM800.

Some presets are designed for stereo signals, some can be used for mono signals only. Depending on the preset chosen you can use your COM800 to process single or mix signals.

+When using a mono preset only one mono signal can be processed with the COM800.

In this case please use the INPUT jack L (MONO)	. It is not possible to process
two mono signals independently of each other!
