LFE Limiter
Threshold
Range: 
-12 to +3 dB 
-6 to + 3 in 0.1 dB increments 
-12 to -6 in 0.5 dB increments
Brickwall limiter for the LFE channel. Threshold 
is always relative to 0 dBFS. LED on each Output 
meter indicates when limiter is active.
Release
Range: 0.01 to 1.00 seconds
Release time for the Limiter.
Ceiling
Range: 0 to -0.10 dB in 0.01 dB steps.
Fine-tuning parameter setting the Ceiling for the 
Limiter.
The Ceiling parameter prevents the Output sig-
nal from exceeding the adjusted Limiter Thresh-
old. It can be used to “hide” overloads to down-
stream equipment, but it does not remove the 
distortion associated with an over.

Trim Levels
Output trims
Range: 0 dB to -12 dB in 0.1 dB steps
Level trim of the Output channels. Only the fader 
is placed after these trims. These parameters 
can be used to trim the levels of the monitoring 
system, but please note that it also affects the 
recorded material.
Mute
Allows muting of each Output-channel.
Output Fader
Range: 
Off to 0 dB 
Off to -40 dB: in 3 dB steps, 
-40 to 0 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Output fader for all 6 Outputs. Can be controlled 
with the optional TC Master Fader connected to 
the GPI Input.
Compare
Easy switchable On/Off compare function for 
the entire MD 5.1 algorithm. This is not a bypass 
function as you are able to set a Compare Level 
(see below).
Compare Level
Range: -20 to 0 dB
This function allows you to set a Compare level 
of the processed signal to match the unpro-
cessed signal for better A/B listening.
