Galaxy Audio DS-CP22 - Manual (Page 5)

The DS-CP22 is a Stereo RMS Compressor and Peak Limiter with the addition of a Noise Gate, an
AGC, a 7 bands Eq and a Sub Harmonic Synthesizer.
With reference to the following RMS Compression process representation:
The DS-CP22 implements a REAL RMS Compressor, compressing a pure sinusoidal signal at the
same threshold as a squared wave.
Particularly, the RMS Compressor is a Compression process applied with fast Slow Attack and
Release times to the INPUT signal of a Unit, in order to maintain the amplitude of the OUTPUT
signal at a defined level when input level exceeds a defined Threshold.
The Compressor implemented in the DS-CP22 reacts to the RMS value of the input signal,
resulting in a more musical compression.
The DS-CP22 Compressor has adjustable Ratio and Hard/Soft Knee parameters. The input to
output ratio is accurate to 0.1dBu.
