5.1. Brief Technical Overview

Referring to the illustration below, each input channel of the DN9848E processes the audio signal
through delay and gain stages, followed by 12 bands of parametric equalisation, and a full-band
compressor. All key stages are monitored for signal clipping which, if detected, illuminates the top
red segment at the top of the input signal meter; thus, clipping of the signal during processing is not
inadvertently missed. In addition, the signal level is monitored at the compressor to provide signal
headroom and gain reduction indications at the meter.

5.2. Setting Input Parameters

5.2.1
