The CLP260 is a Stereo RMS Compressor and Peak Limiter with the
addition of a Noise Gate, an AGC, a 7 bands Eq and a Sub Harmonic
Synthesizer.

representation
The CLP260 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 CLP260 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.
More, for the CLP260 Compressor is also available a Ratio and a
Hard/Soft Knee parameters. The Ratio parameter is allowing to get a
compressed output maintaining a constant dB ratio with the input.
This feature is got in the CLP260 with a precise Look Up Table Log
Computation process, allowing int the ratio maintenance a precision of
0.1dBu.
