Ambient Noise Compensator
The Ambient Noise Compensator automatically adjusts program source level to compensate for
ambient noise levels. Mono and stereo components are provided.
Double-click the component to open the component editor. The component editor is the same for
stereo and mono types, the only difference being the number of channels.
Section Parameter Setting Range Function
1 Ambient Noise Level Meter Displays the ambient noise level.
2 Sense
Threshold - ∞ to 0.00 dB Sets the average ambient noise level. The
program source level is increased when this
threshold level is exceeded. The program
source level is lowered when this threshold level
is not reached.
3 Gap Detect Lights when a gap is detected in the program
source.
4 Threshold - ∞ to 0.00 dB Sets the program source threshold level. A
“gap” is assumed if the program source level
remains below the threshold for a specified
amount of time.
5
Time 0.1 to 5.0 sec Sets the time interval for gap detection.
6 Program Source
Gain Min Gain -18.0 to 0.0 dB Sets the minimum level for program source level
compensation.
7 Max Gain 0.0 to +18.0 dB Sets the maximum level for program source
level compensation.
8
Gain Ratio 0.5:1 to 2.0:1 Sets the amount of program source level
compensation. This is specified as a ratio
between the amount of program source level
compensation, and the amount the ambient
noise level has exceeded the threshold.
9
Response Time 1 to 60 sec Sets the response time for level compensation.
