COMPRESSION
Control Elements
COMPRESSION
The COMPRESSION control sets the compression intensity by vary-
ing both Threshold and Ratio simultaneously. The further the
COMPRESSION control is turned clockwise (which lowers the
Threshold and increases the ratio), the more processing is extended
to lower level signals. The fully clockwise position is equivalent to a
Ratio of 3:1.
The exact processing values are always depending on the source ma-
terial. Loud signal parts will always be processed with higher compres-
sion rates than quieter signal parts. The DynaMaxx employs soft-knee
compression characteristics, following the input signal‘s structures
dynamically.
For gentle compression results, turn the COMPRESSION control clock-
wise until the Gain Reduction LED ladder shows a peak level reduction
of between 2 and 3 dB. Turning the Compress control further clockwise
will lower the Threshold to include more low-level signals into the com-
pression process. At the same time, compression ratio is increased up
to a maximum of 3:1.
The following diagram shows the gain control curve in normal com-
pression mode with three different COMPRESSION settings. For better
readability of the graph, the gain has been kept at 0dB, so no compen-
sation for the gain reduction is applied.
