1 GATE OPEN & CLOSED LED - Indicates when the
gate is open and closed
2 GATE SWITCH - Selects either Gate or Expander
mode.
3 GAIN REDUCTION METER - Displays the amount of
Gain Reduction when Compressor circuit is activated.
4 INPUT/OUTPUT METER - Displays the Input or
Output signal level based on the settings of the I/O
meter switch.
5 ENHANCE LEVEL- Used to set the level of the S•
com's Enhanced Spectrum Recovery circuit restoring
the high end loss resulting from extreme Gain
Reduction.
6 STEREO LINK SWITCH- When engaged channel 2's
functions are controlled by the settings on channel 1.
