MAKE-UP GAIN, GAIN REDUCTION LEDs
Control Elements
MAKE-UP GAIN
The MAKE-UP GAIN control compensates for any level decrease when
applying COMPRESSION. The higher the processing intensity the lower
the overall output level, the more Gain will be required to restore the
same peak level.
Turn the MAKE-UP GAIN control clockwise until the peak level of
the input is the same as the peak level of the output. Use the GAIN
REDUCTION LEDs for a precise adjustment. The control has a range of
20 dB.
If the DE-COMPRESSION mode is activated, the MAKE-UP GAIN control
compensates for the increase in peak level. Note that in this mode,
turning the Gain control clockwise decreases the output level.
GAIN REDUCTION LEDs
The 10-digit LED ladder meter is capable of displaying gain changes to
a resolution of 1dB over the range -1 dB to -14 dB.
When applying COMPRESSION to the audio signal, the LED meter dis-
plays the amount of gain reduction taking place. From here you can
see how much gain to compensate for with the MAKE-UP GAIN control.
When the DE-COMPRESSION mode is activated, the LED display shows
the gain increase imparted to high-level signals.
