The CLP160 is a Stereo RMS Compressor with the addition of a Sub Harmonic
Synthesizer. With reference to the following RMS Compression process
representation
The CLP160 is implementing a REAL RMS Compressor, so compressing at the
same threshold a pure sinusoidal signal as a squared wave.
Particularly,
the RMS Compressor is a Compression process applied with fast
slow Attack and Release times to the INPUT signal of a Unit, in order to maintain
the amplitude of the OUTPUT signal at a defined level, when input level is
exceeding a defined intervention Threshold.
The Compressor implemented in the CLP160 is acting on the evaluation of an
input signal which is an averaged one on a 50ms time frame, and representing
actually the RMS value of the input signal itself, so to make more "Musical" the
Compressors action.
The RMS Compressor, it is so maintaining constant the output energy and not the
Output peak, so to have for the different inputs, independently from their
harmonic content, a constant output RMS level.
