Dynamics Parameters

Each channel has a GATE section (input channels and ST IN channels only) and a COMP section. The Gate section includes
Gate and Ducking types. The Comp section includes Compressor, Expander, Compander Hard (COMP. (H)), and Com-
pander Soft (COMP. (S)) types.

GATE section

❏ GATE
A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE).
Parameter
THRESHOLD (dB) –72 to 0 (73 points)
RANGE (dB) –∞, –69 to 0 (71 points)
ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points)
44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec
48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec
HOLD (ms)
88.2kHz: 0.01 ms – 1.06 sec
96kHz: 0.01 ms – 981 ms (160 points)
44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec
48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec
DECAY (ms)
88.2kHz: 3 ms – 23.0 sec
96kHz: 3 ms – 21.1 sec (160 points)

❏ DUCKING
Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced automatically when an
announcer speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by
a specified amount (RANGE).
Parameter
THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points)
RANGE (dB) –70 to 0 (71 points)
ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points)
44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec
48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec
HOLD (ms)
88.2kHz: 0.01 ms – 1.06 sec
96kHz: 0.01 ms – 981 ms (160 points)
44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec
48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec
DECAY (ms)
88.2kHz: 3 ms – 23.0 sec
96kHz: 3 ms – 21.1 sec (160 points)
• I/O Characteristics
THRESHOLD
Input Level
Range
This determines the level at which the gate effect is applied.
This determines the amount of attenuation when the gate closes.
This determines how fast the gate opens when the signal exceeds the threshold level.
This determines how long the gate stays open once the trigger signal has fallen
below the threshold.
This determines how fast the gate closes once the hold time has expired. The value is
expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.
• Time Series Analysis
Input Signal
THRESHOLD
Range
This determines the level of trigger signal (KEY IN) required to activate ducking.
This determines the amount of attenuation when ducking is activated.
This determines how soon the signal is ducked once the ducker has been triggered.
This determines how long ducking remains active once the trigger signal has fallen
below the THRESHOLD level.
This determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal gain once the trigger sig-
nal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required
for the level to change by 6 dB.
