2.3.3 Compressor Soft Ratio Control
The soft ratio function provides a gentle, minimum rate transition between the region below
the threshold and the compressed region of the curve. A further threshold, below the main
threshold control setting, defines the start of the soft curve. The program signal is therefore
compressed progressively harder as it gets louder within this region, until the full
compression defined by the ratio control is achieved. Adjustment is made via the SOFT
button, which provides fixed settings from 0dBr to –20dBr in 5dB increments.
2.3.4 Compressor Make-Up Control
The MAKE-UP control allows manual compensation for level loss during compression up to
a maximum of +24dBr. This control operates independently from all other settings and can be
considered as an output level control. The gain makeup is applied to all Dynamics functions
but operates only when the compressor is IN.
