ATTACK SWITCH: A three position switch with fast, medium and slow settings, which controls the time it takes Falcon to respond to the input signal. Fast is the top position RELEASE SWITCH: This switch controls the time it takes Falcon to return to no gain reduction.

In link mode: ATTACK, RELEASE, METER SWITCH, COLOR SWITCH, and THRESHOLD controls are controlled on the master channel THRESHOLD The threshold control governs the amount of gain reduction. GAIN: The gain control will adjust the compressor gain from off to +15 dB of gain. When linked the gain controls operate independently.

Input INPUT - OUTPUT RELATIONSHIP RATIO Falcon is a feedback design, as a result the ratio changes depending on how much gain reduction is taking place. This measurement was made with the Attack set to fast, Release set to mid. The threshold was set so that with a +24dbu input there is16 db of...
