OUTPUT COMP function
254 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Reference section
ELevel meters
These meters indicate the amount of gain reduction
(GR), the peak level before (PRE) and after (POST) the
compressor, and the peak level of the key-in signal
(KEY IN) that causes the compressor to operate. If the
signal clips, the OVER segment will light.
If stereo link is turned on for the corresponding MIX
channel or MATRIX channel (or if a STEREO A/B
channel is selected), level meters for two channels are
displayed.
Hint
If GR METER ON/OFF LINK is turned on in the PREFER-
ENCE 1 screen (UTILITY function), the gain reduction meter
will not be displayed when the compressor is off.
FType
Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor.
Hint
To change the compressor type, use the OUTPUT COMP
LIBRARY screen to recall a library item that has a different
type. You cannot change the compressor type in this screen.
GSTEREO LINK
This specifies whether parameter settings and compres-
sor operation by a key-in signal will be linked
(STEREO LINK button on) for adjacent odd-num-
bered/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX channels or the
L/R channels of the STEREO A/B channels, or not
(STEREO LINK button off).
Key-in signal flow when Link= On Key-in signal flow when Link= Off
Note
Stereo Link is fixed at On for paired channels and for STE-
REO A/B channels.
HCompressor graph
This graph displays the approximate response of the
compressor.
IKEY IN SOURCE
Select the desired key-in signal from the following
choices.

SELF PRE EQ The pre-EQ signal of the currently
selected output channel
SELF POST EQ The post-EQ signal of the currently
selected output channel
MIX1–24 POST EQ The post-EQ signal of the corre-
sponding output channel (however,
you can only select from the group
to which that channel belongs,
from the three groups MIX 1–12,
MIX 13–24, and MATRIX/ST)
