Processing Modes
-Stereo. In this mode the Loudness, EQ and Multiband sections operate in tandem: Whatever gain change is applied to one channel, is applied to the other. Also, many parameters have mutual left and right controls.
-Dual Mono. In this mode the Loudness, EQ and Multiband sections treat the two Input signals completely independently.
-Stereo Wide. In this mode the apparent width and image of stereo signal can be altered simultaneously with controlling loudness and peak level. The left and right signal is internally
-Sum Mono: Left and right channels are summed after Delay, Filters and AGC.
-Left Mono: Left channel only is processed.
-Right Mono: Right channel only is processed.
LOUDNESS PAGE
Target Level
Range: +10dB to
This is the level the Loudness controller will aim at on its Output. Target Level is relative to Reference Level on the Main Page.
Max Reduction Range: -20dB to 0dB
This is the maximum attenuation the Loudness Control is allowed to perform. If set to 0.0dB, the Loudness Control cannot attenuate the signal at all. The level diagram on the next page is shown with Max Reduction set at 0.0dB.
Max Gain
Range: 0 to +20dB
This is the maximum gain the Loudness Control is allowed to perform. If set to 0.0 dB, the Loudness Control cannot add gain to the signal at all.
Freeze Level
Range:
Sets the minimum level required before the Loudness Control will start adding more gain. It would typically be set to avoid boosting signals considered noise. The Freeze Level parameter is relative to the Reference Level setting on the Main page.
Freeze Hold
Range: 0 to 5 seconds
When the Input signal drops below the Freeze Level, the Gain Correction of the Loudness Section is frozen for the duration of the Hold time. When the Hold period expires, the Gain Correction falls back to 0dB gain.
