With the switches released, the function is automatically set and is program
related, such that it follows the signal requirements for general vocal and mix
program signals. (It closely follows the 'auto' mode on the DPR-402 unit).
When depressed, the function is again automatically set and program related
but is scaled to suit more transient program material such as percussion.
Signal indicator showing the input signal level relative to the point at which
compression will commence. Anticlockwise rotation of the threshold control
brings the input signal into the compression window and determines the
threshold point. The half illuminated orange LED indicates the threshold point,
above which, compression occurs.
Shows the amount of gain reduction in dBs, being the difference between the
input and output signal levels. The scale increases from right to left such that
at all times the illuminated LEDs show the actual amount of gain reduction
used, whilst the non illuminated LEDs give an indication of the range of
reduction left from the maximum of 30dB.
