Sidechain Link

The sidechain link buttons route audio from each channel's sidechain audio path into one or both of the sidechain timing circuits. If a single channel's SC LINK A or B button is pressed, that channel will behave as a mono compressor.

If another channel is then linked to the same sidechain, the timing circuit responds to whichever channel is larger at any moment (taking into account the setting of the SC trim controls). The resulting control voltage is then applied equally to both channels, i.e. they behave as a stereo linked compressor.

Sidechain Filter

Inserts a high-pass filter in the channel's sidechain path, preventing unwanted compression due to LFE content. The response is 12dB/octave, shelves at -20dB (this is required to maintain the sidechain's phase margin) and has a selectable -3dB frequency of 80, 100, or 120Hz.
