LOUDNESS PAGE
Freeze Level
Range:-10dBto-40dB
Use this parameter to set the minimum level
required before the Loudness Control will start
adding more gain. It would typically be set
to avoid boosting signals considered noise.
The Freeze Level parameter is relative to the
Reference Level setting on the Main page.
Freeze Hold
Range: 0 to 5 seconds
When the input signal drops below the Freeze
Level, the Gain Correction of the Loudness
Section is frozen for the period you set with the
Hold parameter. When the Hold period expires,
theGainCorrectionfallsbackto0dBgain.
Level Trim
Range:-18dBto+18dB
BecauseDB2internallyoperateswith48bit
precision on all audio signals, it is possible
to correct loudness manually without the risk
of overloads. The Level Trim can be used for
permanent offsets or live loudness adjustments.

canbeswitchedbetween12dB/oct.maximum
