Pressing Threshold, Gain, Ratio, Attack and Release keys will immediately assign Lo,
Mid, Hi and Master values for these parameters to Faders 1-4. Press the L/R key to

Threshold
Range: -25dB to 20dB (in 0.5dB steps)
Relates to the Ref.Level setting.
General explanation - when the Input signal exceeds the Threshold value the
Compressor starts to reduce the dynamic content of the signal according to the set
Ratio.
Gain
Range: Off, -18dB to 12dB in 0.5dB steps.
Manual Makeup-gain for each compression band.
Where the Auto Gain control in the Main page compensates for the total gain reduc-
tion caused by the Compressor, the Gain controls in the Compressor pages are used as
additional gain controls on the individual bands.
