Dynamics

Limiter operations

Limiters are provided on each AUX1–8, MTX1–4, and MAIN L/R/C.
They attenuate the signal so that the output does not exceed the threshold level.

1 IN meter
This indicates the input level of the limiter. For stereo-linked
channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
2 GR (Gain reduction) meter
This indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the
limiter.

This indicates the approximate response of the limiter.
4 OUT meter
This indicates the output level of the limiter. For stereo-
linked channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.

THRESH knob
1
This adjusts the threshold level in a range of -40.0 dB–0.0 dB.
ATTACK knob
2
This adjusts the ATTACK time in a range of 0.0 ms–800.0 ms.
This is the time from when the input signal exceeds the
threshold level until the limiter reaches its maximum effect.
KNEE knob
3
This adjusts the KNEE in a range of HARD to SOFT1–SOFT9
(ten steps). The way in which the limiter applies to the region
near the threshold level can be adjusted between steep
(HARD) and gradual (SOFT9).
RELEASE knob
4
This adjusts the RELEASE time in a range of 0 ms–8000 ms.
This is the time from when the signal falls below the
threshold level until the limiter is no longer applied.
