Detector Type - This selects between peak or
average detector operation:
• Peak Detector - Setting the detector type
as peak means that only the peak level of
a signal is used to trigger the compressor.
Peak detect is typically used for limiter
applications where any signal level above a
certain point is undesirable.
• Average Detector - Setting the detector
type to average means that a computed
average signal level is used instead of peak
levels. The averaging detector is more
musical and natural sounding and typically
used to "thicken" vocals.
DCA Gain
A DCA gain block can be placed on any channel
in order to make that channel available for DCA
groups 1-4. Each DCA block must be turned
ON to be active. Each DCA block must also be
enabled for its targeted DCA group.
There is a level to trim the gain of the channel,
which gets combined with any DCA fader levels
enabled for the channel.
Ashly AquaControl™ Software
A DCA is typically set up and deployed to a
remote operator who has limited access but
still needs to control a zone's overall volume via
mobile device or tablet. See section
deploying a DCA to a remote control operator.
DCA Gain Parameters:
Overall Level to DCA: Off, -50dB to +12dB
Polarity: Normal, Inverted
DCA 1-4 Level: Off, -50dB to +12dB in 0.1dB
increments
DCA 1-4 Enable: On, Off
Delay
Delay can be used on any
input or output channel, with
a delay range of 0-682ms.
Delay can be input by time
(ms) or by distance (ft, m), using the scroll
bar or by manually entering a numerical value.
Ambient air temperature can be entered to
adjust for changes to the speed of sound
through hotter or colder air.
