RATIO

The RATIO select is set to usual compressor increments that range from 1:1 to 100:1. Simply turn the pot to set a desired ratio. For example, 3:1 means that if a signal is 3 dB over the threshold, it will be reduced in amplitude to 1 dB over the set threshold. See “A Closer Look” on page 12 for further information.

Note: The GAIN meter displays gain reduction. The LED moves downward from the top of the meter starting at 0 dB and indicates negative dB, or gain reduction.

Meters (S-BAND and GAIN)

The two meters in the lower right corner of the screen represent the S-BAND meter and the GAIN (reduction) meter.

GAIN (Gain Reduction)

The gain reduction meter ranges from 0 dB to –40 dB and the LED’s come down from the top of the meter, (0 dB), in an opposite fashion as compared to regular level meters.

S-BAND

The S-BAND meter represents the dB level of the ess band. The small white bar located between the S-BAND and GAIN meters is a visual representation of the threshold that can be adjusted using the threshold pot.
