avoidan audible distortion, but the signal roll-off beyond the level threshold setting is very rapid.
Turningthe rotary control counter-clockwise selects various compression ratios, from 20.0 to 1.1. A
compressionratio of 20.0 (also written as 20:1) means that for every 20dB increase (above the set Level
Threshold)at the input of that channel, the output from that channel will increase by just 1dB. This is very
heavycompression - almost Limiting.
Anotherexample would be a compression ratio of 6.0 (6:1). This means that for every 6dB increase (above
theset threshold) at the channel input, the output signal from that channel will increase by 1dB. This will tend
tokeep the music sounding dynamic while helping to control excessive peaks.
Thisis where you set the point at which the compressor/limiter will start to operate on the
musicsignal. The default setting is ,which is bypass mode.
Turningthe rotary control counter-clockwise allows you to select the threshold from an ever reducing scale
(thescale can be set to dBu or Volts via the menu).The Comp/Limiter intervenes (compressing
orlimiting the signal) above the level threshold you set here. Below this threshold it leaves the signal
unchanged.

Theinputs and outputs may be "ganged" (linked together) as left and right stereo pairs, so that modifications
aresimultaneously applied to both channels (A&B inputs and 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6 outputs). This can be useful
forsetting identical crossover points and EQ settings, but if you intend to use the output delay function for
speaker'time alignment' then you should NOT gang the output channels.
