M6 Multiband Dynamics
M6 is a six-band multiband compression and expansion tool. The M6 combines multiband compression, equalization, de-essing, expansion, and limiting capabilities
into one easy to use interface. The M6 is a powerful eect when the need to perform separate EQ and dynamic processes to dierent bands on the same input source.
The M6 has four bands in the centre controlled by crossover regions (2-4), plus two additional frequency selectable bands that are not part of the multiband crossover
(1&6). The two oating bands have dedicated frequency and width controls, unlike the four middle bands. This can be useful in situations when you need additional
control over the dynamics of a frequency range that is not being handled suciently by the four main bands such as de-essing a vocal.
Item Control Function
1 On/O switch Turns the eect on or o.
2 Input meter 25 LEDs, which show input metering.
3 Band 1 - 6 Gain Exp/Comp Meter 43 LEDs, which show gain expansion and compression.
4 X-OVER Low Frequency Sets the Low crossover frequency from 25 Hz to 250 Hz.
5 X-OVER Mid Frequency Sets the Mid crossover frequency from 250 Hz to 2.5 kHz.
6 X-OVER High Frequency Sets the High crossover frequency from 1 kHz to 16 kHz.
7 Slope width control Sets the crossover slope at either 12 dB or 24 dB.
8 Output meter 25 LEDs, which show output metering.
9 Input Level Trim Trim the input level -18 dB to + 18 dB.
10 Output Level Trim Trim the output level -18 dB to + 18 dB.
11 Threshold control Threshold controls the point at which a band begins responding to signal level. Range: 0 to -60 dB.
12 Gain control
Gain controls the output gain of each compressor band. Ideal for sculpting the shape of a sound.
Range: +18 to -18 dB.
13 Range control
Range controls the maximum gain change. Negative range values result in compression. Positive
range values result in expansion. Range:+18 to -24 dB.
14 Attack control
Attack controls the speed at which dynamic processing begins.
Range: 0.50 to 500 ms.
15 Release control
Release sets the recovery speed of the gain attenuation when the input drops below the threshold.
Range: 5 to 500 ms.
16 Band 1-6 Input meter 25 LEDs, which show individual band input metering.
17 Side Chain Function Bands can be individually side chained to a dierent path.
18 Band Listen Listen to the signal in isolation of the processing band or SC if on.
19 Band Bypass Bypass defeats a band’s dynamics processing and Gain control.
