7.1.2 Blend and Mix
The output section of the 2500+ allows 100% of the compressed signal to be sent to the output, to
be crossfaded with the input signal, or to be “blended” in parallel with the input signal.
BLEND: Cycles to select the output mixing function
• 100% Compression: No output mixing
o No LEDs illuminated
• X (Crossfade): The MIX pot sets crossfade percentage between input and
compressed signals (wet/dry function)
o Green LED illuminates when engaged
• l l (Parallel): The unattenuated input signal is routed to output at 100% and the
MIX pot sets the percentage compressed signal added to the output
o Green LED illuminates when engaged
The MIX control functions only when either X or l l is engaged:
• X (Crossfade): Sets the percentage of input vs. compressed signal sent to the output:
o 0% sends only the unattenuated input signal to the output (dry)
o 50% (detent) sends 50% input signal and 50% compressed signal to the output
o 100% sends only the compressed signal to the output (wet)
• l l (Parallel): Sets the percentage of compressed signal added to the unattenuated input signal
sent to the output:
o 0% sends only the unattenuated input signal to the output
o 50% (detent) sends unattenuated input signal, plus 50% of the compressed signal to
the output
o 100% sends the unattenuated input signal, plus 100% of the compressed signal to the
output
MIX: Sets the percentage of uncompressed and compressed signal (%comp)
sent to the output when either X or l l is engaged
• Detent at 50%
7.1.3 IN/out and Bypass
The 2500+ is equipped with a silent IN/out switch as well as a relay-based, hard-wired bypass.
The IN switch is a soft IN/out button that defeats the compression action silently, but allows the signal
to pass through the 2500+.
IN: Toggle to select compressor IN or out
• Illuminates in green when engaged
