LTO

avoid an audible distortion, but the signal roll-off beyond the level threshold setting is very rapid. Turning the rotary control counter-clockwise selects various compression ratios, from 20.0 to 1.1. A compression ratio 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 heavy compression - almost Limiting.

Another example would be a compression ratio of 6.0 (6:1). This means that for every 6dB increase (above the set threshold) at the channel input, the output signal from that channel will increase by 1dB. This will tend to keep the music sounding dynamic while helping to control excessive peaks.

Level Threshold: This is where you set the point at which the compressor/limiter will start to operate on the music signal. The default setting is Off, which is bypass mode.

Turning the rotary control counter-clockwise allows you to select the threshold from an ever reducing scale (the scale can be set to dBu or Volts via the Utility Units menu). The Comp/Limiter intervenes (compressing or limiting the signal) above the level threshold you set here. Below this threshold it leaves the signal unchanged.

Ganging (Utility Menu): Select MODE Utility. Ganging should show in the display. Press ENTER. Press NEXT to switch between Input Ganging and Output Ganging. Use the rotary control to select On or Off. Press ESC to quit this mode.

The inputs and outputs may be "ganged" (linked together) as left and right stereo pairs, so that modifications are simultaneously applied to both channels (A&B inputs and 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6 outputs). This can be useful for setting 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.

Units (Utility Menu): Select MODE Utility NEXT Units. Press ENTER.

Here you can set the measurement unit shown while modifying various parameters. Press NEXT to switch between Delay Unit, Comp/Limiter Threshold Unit and Temperature Unit.
