MEQ-2000

SETUP MENU – Compressor/Limiter (COM/LIM)

The COM/LIM module is a combination of compressor and limiter algorithms, designed

primarily for mastering type compression. It provides a useful mix of compression and

limiting functions, depending on the task you need to address. For example, it can

provide a smoother compression ratio for a vocal or instrumental track, or a hard limiter

for avoiding peaks in a mixdown.

There are five active buttons in COM/LIM mode:

F1 – ON

Switches the COM/LIM module on or off.

F2 - CH

Toggles between CH1 and CH2 setup. Only functions if CH LINK in MODE

menu is off.

F3 – PAGE

Switches between two different parameter sets in the parameter window.

F5 – MODE

Switches to MODE menu for advanced options.

F6 – EXIT

Switches to main SETUP menu.

The

cursor keys can be used to highlight the selected parameter, and the

parameter wheel can be used to change its value.

The following parameters can be viewed and/or adjusted:

THRE

sets up the threshold of the compressor/limiter over a range of 0 to

–60dBFs, in 0.1dB increments.

RATIO

adjusts the degree of compression/limiting over a range of 1:1 (no

compression) to 1:99 in 0.1 increments.

CO/LI

blends between compressor and limiter dynamic operation, over a range

of 1:99 to 99:1. At the 1:99 setting, the COM/LIM module is controlled by

signal loudness (true compressor); at the 99:1 setting the module is

controlled by signal peaks (true limiter).

GAIN

adjusts the output gain over a range of 0 to –THR dB in 0.1 dB increments.
