When the compressor type is COMP or
EXPANDER
The encoder will set the KNEE parameter of the
COMP or EXPANDER. (The [KNEE] LED will
light.)
You can select from SOFT 1–SOFT 5, or HARD.
When the compressor type is COMPANDER
The encoder will set the WIDTH parameter of the
COMPANDER.
The range is 1 dB – 90 dB.
7 COMPRESSOR [GR] meter LEDs
This meter displays the amount of gain reduction
caused by the compressor.
Hint
In the UTILITY function PREFERENCE screen you
can specify whether the GR meter display will be
linked with the compressor on/off setting. If linking
is on, the GR meter will be displayed only when the
compressor is on; the meter will not be displayed
when the compressor is off. If linking is turned off,
the GR meter will always be displayed.
8 COMPRESSOR [POST] meter LEDs
This meter indicates the signal level after the com-
pressor.
9 COMPRESSOR [PRE CLIP] LED
This LED will light when the signal has clipped
before passing through the compressor.
0 COMPRESSOR [LINK] switch and LED
This specifies whether the compressors of adjacent
odd-numbered and even-numbered MIX channels
or MATRIX channels will be linked by their key-in
signals (link = on), or will operate using independent
key-in signals (link = off). (The LED will light when
link is on.)

Linking will occur only if channels of the same
COMPRESSOR type are linked. If channels with
differing types are linked, the operation will be the
same as if link is off.
Be careful not to confuse "compressor linking" with
"input channel pairing."
A COMPRESSOR [ON] switch and LED
This is the on/off switch for the internal compressor.
The LED will light when the compressor is on.
B COMPRESSOR [GAIN] encoder and LEDs
This encoder sets the GAIN parameter of the internal
compressor.
The perimeter LEDs show the approximate current
value.
When the type is COMP/EXPANDER, the range is 0
dB – +18 dB (0.5 dB steps). When the type is COM-
PANDER, the range is –18 dB – 0 dB (0.5 dB steps).
C COMPRESSOR [THR] encoder and LEDs
This encoder sets the THRESHOLD LEVEL parame-
ter of the internal compressor.
The perimeter LEDs show the approximate current
value.
The range is –54 dB – 0 dB (1 dB steps).

SELECTED OUTPUT CHANNEL block
When compressor link is on, the compressor opera-
tion will simply be linked by the key-in signal; the
compressor parameters themselves will remain
independent for each channel.
If output channels are paired, compressor link will
automatically be on, and the various compressor
parameters will also be linked. However, you are
free to turn linking off again if desired.
For the STEREO A/B channels, the compressor
parameters of the left and right channels are always
linked. However, you are free to turn link on/off if
you wish.
