Downward Expanders Menu; Exp Levels - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

FM MENU EXPERT MODE

Downward Expanders Menu

The information for the Downward Expanders is repeated here from the Intermediate level, however, the Expert Level also
allows an operator to adjust Attack and Release times.
The Downward Expanders menu allows you to control the maximum gain reduction (downward expansion) for all bands in
the Downward Expanders section as well as the threshold, attack and release speeds for each individual band. The total number
of bands available in the Downward Expanders section is determined by the number of bands of processing used in the Current
Preset. The Downward Expanders operate in a manner similar to a traditional "noise gate," and is useful for reducing unwanted
background noise from less-than-perfect program material or from a noisy studio environment. The ratio of these expanders is
2:1.

Exp Levels

The Maximum Gain Reduction control determines the greatest amount of gain reduction for all available bands.
♦
The Threshold control for each band sets the point at which downward expansion begins. The range of this control is
♦
from -90 to 0dB. The Target (Coupled) control allows all bands to be adjusted simultaneously by an identical amount.
