In ADVANCED MODE, THRESHOLD BELOW TARGET determines the input signal level relative to the target
level, above which the autoleveler increases gain, and below which no action is taken. RATIO is defined as the relation-
ship of input level change in dB to output level change in dB. It is a measure of how aggressively the autoleveler changes
the gain to maintain a constant output target level. GAIN INCREASE RATE and GAIN DECREASE RATE are used to
prevent sudden, choppy sounding level changes to an input signal having a wide dynamic range. HOLD TIME is used in
conjunction with gain change rate, and is defined as the time after the input signal falls below the threshold during which
the autolever’s gain is held constant before it returns to unity gain. The purpose is to reduce the amount of gain “chatter”
and abrupt signal cutoff when the input signal is hovering around the threshold level. Advanced settings which are
different than the three Basic action settings results in a USER DEFINED display in the basic action control.
9.1i Ducker
A Ducker is used to attenuate the level of selected input channels when one or more
"Trigger" inputs have signal present. Input channels can be set to one of four ducker modes:
1.) BYPASS - no ducking action applies.
2.) DUCKED PROGRAM - signal present on other "Trigger" selected input channels
act to attenuate this input channel.
3.) LOW PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel attenuates all
other inputs set to "Ducked Program".
4.) HIGH PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel fully attenuates
all other inputs set to "Ducked Program", as well as all other channels set to "Low Priority
Trigger".
TRIGGER THRESHOLD determines the signal level on a trigger input at which point the ducked program is
attenuated. DUCKING DEPTH determines how much attenuation is applied to input channels set up as ducked pro-
gram. DUCKING RELEASE determines the rate at which the attenuation returns to 0dB after the trigger input signal
has stopped.
9.1j Matrix Routing
Any input channel can be routed to any or all output channels, likewise any output channel can have as its source
any or all inputs, limited only by the installed capacity of input or output expansion modules. To route an input to an
output, click and drag from the input connect box to the desired output connect box (click and drag routing works in both
directions). To delete a connection, click on the connect line and press <Delete> on the keyboard, or right click on the
connection line for the delete prompt. To quickly perform multiple routing connections or disconnections to the current
input channel, hold <Ctrl> and click on desired individual output channel connect boxes to toggle them on or off.
Anytime a connection is made, the corresponding output mixer level is set to “-inf”, (off). Note that when an input is
muted, all routing lines from that input turn red to reflect the change.
