Stereo Couple Switch - These switches change the 1046 from four independent compressors into two stereo
compressors. In stereo mode, Channel 1 is the master and Channel 2 is its slave, and Channel 3 is the master
and channel 4 is its slave. Each of the Channel 2 and 4 controls and switch functions will be overriden and
controlled by the Channel 1 and 3 controls and switches, respectively, except for the I/O Meter and Bypass
switches. Also, Channel 2’s and 4’s Compressor Threshold, and PeakStopPlus™ Threshold meters will be disabled,
while these slave channels’ Gain Reduction meters will indicate the amount of gain reduction occurring, as
on their masters’ Gain Reduction Meters. All 4 channels have equal precedence as far as signal processing is
concerned. The dbx 1046 uses True RMS Power Summing™, an extremely accurate and musical way to combine
detector outputs in a stereo situation. The switch will light to indicate that the 1046 is in the Stereo Couple
mode.
