Kompressor™

the Kompressor™ included in all SX Series amplifiers (and

controlled by the SXRC) is a complete digital compressor solution

used to compress or expand the audio signal in different ways

based on the setting selected.

Using ‘real world’ testing in the automotive environment,

KICKER engineers developed three compression/expansion

settings for use in your SX Series amplifiers. Each setting

controls 6 Kompressor™ parameters:

Compression Above Threshold - Controls how much expansion

or compression is applied to the audio signal when its level is

higher than the threshold.

Compression Below Threshold - Controls how much expansion

or compression is applied to the audio signal when its level is

lower than the threshold.

Threshold - This is the signal strength reference point that the

Kompressor™ uses to determine when to compress or expand

the signal.

Integration Time - Controls the energy detection part of the

Kompressor™ circuitry and determines whether to look for peak

output, averaged output or anything in between the two extremes.

Attack Time - Controls how quickly the Kompressor™ reacts to

any signal above or below the threshold.

Release Time - Controls how quickly the Kompressor™ effect is

released when any signal above or below the threshold is

detected.

When you select one of the Kompressor™ presets (Contour,

Red-Line or Attack) each of these 6 parameters is adjusted to

provide the desired effect on the audio Signal.

Contour - This preset applies expansion below the threshold

point to provide a fuller sound at lower volume levels. Effect

decreases at higher volume levels. Nice effect for someone

wanting a fuller sound at low to moderate listening levels.

ATTACK - This preset applies expansion above the threshold

point to provide a nice quick punch or attack to the music.

Effect increases with higher volume levels. Like music with a

quick and punchy sound? Sub-bass need a little more snap to

it? Give this one a try.

Red-line - Provides a quick clamp to dynamic peaks while

still allowing a full sound to come through. Effect increases

at higher volume levels. Like to play it loud but want to

protect your speakers? Want low level details to come

through over road noise? Want a more even volume level to

your music? All can be achieved with this preset.

OFF - Pretty much says it all. This turns the Kompressor™

off. This is the factory default setting.

After selecting your Kompressor™ setting you can adjust the

Threshold level through a 48 dB window (+24 dB to -24 dB from

the default setting) by accessing the Kompressor™ Adjustment

(KOMP ADJ.) setting located in the Systemmenu. There you can

change the threshold point to customize the Kompressor™ effect

to fit your speakers, car or personal tastes.
