Limiter Operations (Main L/R, Aux1-Aux16) - RSS M-380 Owner's Manual

Dynamics
Limiter operations (MAIN L/
R, AUX1–AUX16)
Limiters are provided on each AUX channel and MAIN L/R
channel. They attenuate the signal so that the output does not exceed
the threshold level.
The LIMITER popup is used to perform limiter operations.

1.
IN meter
This indicates the input level of the limiter. For stereo-linked
channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
2.
GR meter
This indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the
limiter.
3.
Limiter graph
This indicates the approximate response of the limiter.
4.
OUT meter
This indicates the output level of the limiter. For stereo-linked
channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
5.
THRESH knob
This adjusts the threshold level in a range of -40.0 dB–0.0 dB.
6.
KNEE knob
This adjusts the KNEE in a range of HARD to SOFT1–SOFT9
(ten steps). The way in which the limiter applies to the region
near the threshold level can be adjusted between steep (HARD)
and gradual (SOFT9).
7.
ATTACK knob
This adjusts the ATTACK time in a range of 0.0 ms–800.0 ms.
This is the time from when the input signal exceeds the
threshold level until the limiter reaches its maximum effect.
8.
RELEASE knob
This adjusts the RELEASE time in a range of 0 ms–8000 ms. This
is the time from when the signal falls below the threshold level
until the limiter is no longer applied.
