CONTROL DESCRIPTION (Cont.) PAGE 5
The Dynamic Attack Modification groups are located at the upper right and lower left sections of
the preset matrix. With either A-MOD group enabled, the peak limiter will dynamically modify the
attack time of the compressor function. When a slower attack time (3 or higher) is selected on the
compressor, any signal triggering the peak limiter automatically shortens the attack time of the
compressor. This gives the STC-8 the ability to average program when employing long attack
times while still maintaining overload protection. More notably, the compressor will quickly control
the audio after a period of silence.
