The following chart is an attempt to show what happens with the A, B, and C Presets. For the
purpose of the measurements in the chart, the compression range is from no gain reduction to 12
dB of gain reduction. Numbers in the chart are approximate. Ratio conditions are as indicated.
*Ratio conditions relate to the entire specific preset section, not to Release Time and Conditons
columns in the chart. i.e. Starting GR and Ratios in the A Preset section relate to the whole section.
