System Configuration ~ Processing

Compressors and com- pressor groups can be established only within the XAP 400 unit being configured, i.e.,

they cannot be configured from a single point across multiple units.

Group

Use the slider to assign this compressor to a compressor group. The default is None. When you assign a compressor to a compressor group—such as a group of three, configured for bass, midrange, and treble—the compressors will monitor each other. When one compressor channel compresses, all compressors in the group compress together. When configured properly, this results in a smooth audio response throughout the frequency range, with no bass, midrange, or treble dropouts. A given compressor group must be configured for a single XAP 400 unit; a group cannot use compressors from multiple XAP 400 units.

Post Compressor Gain

Adjust the compressor gain with the gain slider or by using the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The graph reflects the input/output decibel levels with the gain setting you select.

Threshold

Threshold determines the RMS level at which the compressor begins to operate. The range is from -30 to +20dBu. Default is 0dBu.
