Addendum to the Manuals of the Gambit Series DS1,
DS1-MK2 and DS1-MK3 DeEsser / Compressor / Limiter
The graphs on the pages below have been made to convey a better understanding of the dynamic pa-
rameters of the Gambit DS1 DeEsser/Compressor.
Please also read the appropriate pages in the DS1/DS1-MK2/DS1-MK3 manual to have a proper under-
standing of the sidechain process.
The test signal is a repeating sine wave burst with a certain "on" and a certain "off" level. The frequency
of the sine wave is above 10kHz (period less than 100µs), so there is no influence of the sine wave fre-
quency on the timing behaviour.
The table below shows the timing parameters set on the DS1. For the static parameters a threshold of -
20dB, a 1000:1 ratio and no softknee have been chosen. The peak / RMS time parameter was set to peak
measurement.
