shifts in the balance
ATT : Compressor Attack Time
lower position: 0.5 ms
middle position: 25 ms
upper position: 5 ms
ON/BYP : in upper ON position, the
compressor is active, in the lower
BYP (BYPASS) position or if the
rack is powered down, a relay
connects the output directly to
the input, the gain reduction
meter will still show the depth
of compression
Indicators:
CLIP LED : Lit when the output level reaches
+24dBu (2db before clipping)
GR (Gain Reduction) : Shows actual gain reduction in
the range of 1db to 8db in one db
