5 – Mixer Panel Settings
RELEASE knob
Sets the amount of time until the compression stops and
the sound returns to its uncompressed level after the
input sound goes below the threshold.
Range: 10 ms–1000 ms (default: 420 ms)
GAIN knob
Sets the gain of the output signal.
When the volume is compressed, the output level
becomes lower than the input level. Use the GAIN knob
to increase the output level so that it is close to the input
level.
Range: 0 dB–32 dB (default: 4 dB)
NOTE
• If the input is a stereo signal (stereo-linked channel or
master), compression will start and be applied to both
channels when either the left or right input channel exceeds
the threshold level.
• When the compressor is off, the compressor curve will
appear but the meters will not be active.
8 Noise Suppressor
When the input volume becomes less than the threshold level,
the output level is reduced automatically to suppress noise.
When the threshold level is exceeded, the sound is output at its
ordinary level again.
This is useful for reducing noise during performances and
pauses in sound input.
THRESHOLD knob
Sets the threshold level that will cause the effect to start/
stop.
Range: −84 dB to −24 dB (default: −64 dB)
SUPPRESSION knob
Sets the amount the output level will be reduced when
the input sound becomes less than the threshold level.
The higher the value, the more the output level and
noise will be reduced.
Range: 12 dB to 72 dB (default: 42 dB)
ATTACK knob
Sets the amount of time until the set suppression
amount is reached after the input sound goes below the
threshold level.
Range: 0 ms–4000 ms (default: 5 ms)
RELEASE knob
Sets the amount of time until suppression stops after the
input sound exceeds the threshold level.
Range: 0 ms–4000 ms (default: 320 ms)
NOTE
If the input is a stereo signal (stereo-linked channel or
master), noise suppression will start when both the left and
right input channels go below the threshold level.
8
DE-ESSER
This is a compressor specialized for high frequencies. Use it to
reduce vocal “s” sounds and other harsh high-frequency noises.
FREQUENCY knob
Sets the lowest frequency that causes the de-esser to
function.
Range: 1 kHz–4 kHz (default: 1.15 kHz)
DEPTH knob
Sets the amount of compression.
The higher the value the greater the compression (and
de-essing effect).
Range: 1–100 (default: 25)
8
EXCITER
This effect emphasizes high-frequency harmonics to add clarity
and sparkle while maintaining the original sound.
FREQUENCY knob
Sets the frequency above which harmonics are empha-
sized.
Range: 1 kHz–4 kHz (default: 2.00 kHz)
DEPTH knob
Sets the amount that harmonics are emphasized.
The higher the value, the more they are emphasized.
Range: 1–100 (default: 75)
