  • Page 31 The CLP2600 multi band compressor, can operate as 3 bands, 2 bands or Mono band compressor unit. Because of that, within the Compressors Menu there are up to 3 common control pages, allowing the user to set the number of bands for the compressor and, dependently from this selection, to set the X-Over frequencies for the definition of the 3 or 2 bands...if not set in Mono band mode.
  • Page 32 1 band , this page is not available CrossOver 1 page when the CLP2600 is set in Mono Mode, and the RMS single compressor will act on the overall input band. When the CLP2600 is set as 2 band compressor, then from this page it is possible to set the Cross Over frequency separating the 2 bands dividing the full one .
  • Page 33 When set with the above controls the Compressor's number of bands and eventually the X-Over frequencies, each compressor operating on each single band is a RMS Compressor working as shown by the following picture 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.
