Kompressor

Here is a brief explanation of each KOMPRESSOR setting.

Contour - This preset applies expansion below the threshold point to provide a fuller sound at lower volume levels. Effect decreases at higher volume levels. Nice effect for someone wanting a fuller sound at low to moderate listening levels.

ATTACK - This preset applies expansion above the threshold point to provide a nice quick punch or attack to the music. Effect increase with higher volume levels. Like music with a quick and punchy sound? Give this one a try.

Red-line- Provides a quick clamp to dynamic peaks while still allowing a full sound to come through. Effect increases at higher volume levels. Like to play it loud but want to protect your speakers? Want low level details to come through over road noise? Want a more even volume level to your music? All can be achieved with this preset.

OFF - Pretty much says it all. This turns the KOMPRESSOR off. This is the factory default setting.

After selecting your KOMPRESSOR setting you can adjust its effect using the KOMPRESSOR ADJUSTMENT (KOMP ADJ.) setting located in the SYSTEM menu. There you can change the threshold point for each of these settings to customize the KOMPRESSOR effect to fit your speakers, car or personal tastes.

A few words on the Kompressor. The effect is most noticeable in the bass area of your music and the descriptions above apply to that area of your music (Bass/Midbass). You can use the Kompressor in any amplifier configuration (Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass or Full Range) but we feel the best results are obtained when with the amp is in a Low Pass (subwoofer) or Band Pass (midbass) situation.

A few exceptions to this rule are:

The red-linesetting is good for use in any configuration as it helps control dynamic peaks and limit distortion at higher output levels.

The contour setting is also another good all around use setting and when used in Full Range or High Pass configurations tends to enhance the vocal and top end of the music. Great for helping to cover up interior noise.

The ATTACK setting is really geared for bass and midbass duty.

The possibilities are almost endless! Tweak away!
