4.7 TimingFunctions 4 COMPRESSOR

To generate the timing illustration graphs, the following stimulus was used as the

reference. This is a tone burst signal that consists of 0.2 sec of full level signal preceded

and followed by 0.8 sec of signal at –20 dBr.

4.7.1 CompressorAttackControl

The attack control varies the timing behaviour of the compressor at the onset of gain

reduction, either due to the arrival of a peak level above the threshold or the further

increase in a level already above the threshold.

attack = minimum

attack = mid position

attack = maximum

The three diagrams above show the action of the attack control from minimum through

mid range to maximum setting.
