3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the DYNAMICS OFF icon and
press the [ENTER] button to turn the processor on.
The icon is highlighted with the text changed to ON. Being able to easily
turn the dynamics processor on and off allows you to perform quick A-B
listening tests.
4. Select the KEY IN parameter with the CURSOR buttons. Rotate the
encoder wheel or press the [ENTER] button to select the trigger
source for the processor.
By default, the STEREO channel is triggered by itself, pre-EQ (SELF –
PRE-EQ). You can select post-EQ or the signal on the aux buses, AUX 1 or
AUX 2.
You should select either SELF – PRE-EQ or SELF – POST-EQ.
5. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the compressor parameters.
6. Adjust the value of each parameter by rotating the encoder
wheel.
To compress the stereo output signal, try settings similar to those in the
following table:
The above settings provide a 2:1 compression above –10 dB. This means for
every 1 dB change in input signal level above –10 dB there will be a 0.5 dB
change in the output level. You can increase the output level without as
much risk of clipping. The overall effect is the output signal sounds louder,
essentially because you have limited—or compressed—the dynamic range.
Experiment with the settings until you get an effect that you like.
*1 This value is obtained when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
Note: As you change the KEY IN parameter, the icons in the KEY IN block on
the display also change.
