group dynamics section
Note:The following dynamics controls are located adjacent to the Group fader.
gate ON (downward expander)
Activates the gate (downward expander) function.
gate ON/THR (Threshold) dual color LED
LED Illuminates GREEN when the gate system is active. Illuminates RED when the group's signal level reaches the threshold level set by the GATE THR control. Note that red threshold indication is functioning at all times, even when gate is not active (switched off).
gain reduction meter (ATT)

cates the overall gain reduction applied to input signals by the dynamics system by either the gate function or the compressor function. If both gate and compressor functions are switched on, one of the two
comp SOFT KNEE Switch - Changes initial compression characteristic between Hard and Soft Knee.
Hard Compression - Immediately reduces compressor output signal levels at the set compression ratio as soon as compressor input signal reaches the set threshold.
Soft Compression - At threshold, reduces output signal level at a variable compression ratio over an increasing input signal level until the set compression ratio is achieved.
compVOX on Switch
Activates the compressor/limiter system. Attack and release times are opti- mized for vocal applications.
comp PERC on Switch
Activates the compressor/limiter system.Attack and release times are opti- mized for percussion applications.
comp AUTO on (bothVOX and PERC switches depressed)
When both the VOX and PERC switches are depressed, the compres- sor/limiter system is activated with automatic control of attack and release times as determined by signal characteristics.
comp ON/THR (Threshold) dual color LED
LED Illuminates GREEN when the compressor system is activated by either the VOX or PERC switch, or both. Illuminates RED when the channel’s signal level reaches the threshold set on the COMP THR (threshold) control.
