8.1 SidechainEQ Controls
8 SIDECHAIN EQ
InputGain
Adjusts the input level to the EQ section from –20 dB to 0 dB to avoid EQ clipping
when in boost settings
EQ S-C
Routes the EQ processing into the sidechain
EQ Signal
Routes the EQ processing into the main signal path
(SC-EQ) IN
Toggles the sidechain EQ in and out for comparison purposes
Note:
Note that the EQ gain control is needed to avoid signal clipping when the EQ is used in
the signal path with boost settings. Therefore changes to the EQ gain will modify
effective thresholds in the dynamics section. However, due to internal overload
margins within the dynamics, it is legitimately possible to boost EQ signal levels up to
+24 dBr when used in the sidechain, even though these signals would cause overloads
if the EQ were routed to the main signal path.
