Compressor/Limiter (COMP/LMT)
7 Compressor
Audio that exceeds the specified threshold level is compressed. This
reduces the difference between the maximum volume and minimum
volume, making the audio more comfortable for listening.
7 Limiter
Audio that exceeds the specified threshold level is compressed. This
prevents distortion from occurring when unexpectedly loud audio is
input.
* Distortion will occur if audio that exceeds the allowable range of
the limiter is input.
