541001108-01-COutput Channel − Compressor / LimiterWhen set as a Limiter, prevents the audio level fromexceeding a preset threshold.1. Comp / Limiter tab – Selects the Comp /Limiter screen.Note that the label on this tab will change depending on thesetting of the Comp/Limiter switch.2. Comp / Limiter In/Out switch – Engages ordisengages the compressor or limiter. Note that thelabel on this tab will change depending on th settingof the Comp/Limiter switch.3. Comp/Limit switch – Selects Compressor orLimiter mode. If “Comp” is selected, the processoris identical in operation to the input channelcompressors.4. Knee In button – The knee determines whetherthe compressor/limiter transitions abruptly orgradually as the threshold is crossed.5. Simple button – Hides all controls except:• Limiter In button• Simple button• Reset button6. Reset button – Sets all the Limiter controls to theirfactory default position.7. In meter – RMS input signal level8. NR meter – Gain Reduction – indicates how muchthe signal level has been reduced by the Limiter.9. Out meter – Output signal level10. Threshold slider – Sets the point at which the compressor/limiter will begin to reduce signal level.11. Limiter graph – When the Limiter is engaged, the trace is blue.• Threshold (A) – The level at which limiting begins.• Attack time (B to C) – The time it takes for the limiter to reach maximum limiting after the input exceeds the threshold level.• Ratio (A to E) – The amount of limiting applied to the signal.• Release time (C to D) – The time it takes for the limited signal to rise to the threshold level once the input level no longer exceeds thethreshold.• Vertical scale = dB12. Ratio slider – Sets the ratio of input level change to output level change when the signal exceeds the threshold.13. Attack slider – Adjusts how quickly the processor reacts to a signal that exceeds the threshold.14. Release slider – Adjusts how quickly the processor stops compressing or limiting when signal falls below the Threshold.HomeTouch AuxOut1–8 or 9–14Touchan AuxChannelTouch theLimiter TabOutput Channel – Compressor / Limiter
