De-Compress Switch
Switches the compressor between the compress and the de-compress modes.
Compressor mode
Output level
Threshold
In compressor mode, when the input level exceeds the threshold level, the gain is reduced according to the set-
ting of the ratio control. In de-compressor mode, when the input level exceeds the threshold level, the gain is
increased according to the setting of the ratio control.

Threshold Level Control
If the input signal level falls below the threshold level, the gain of the expander is reduced (or increased in inverse
mode) according to the setting of the ratio control.
Ratio control
Determines the proportion of gain reduction (or increase) for signals below the threshold level. If, for example, the
ratio is set to 2.00:1, in normal mode the output level will be decreased by 2 dB if the input level is decreased by 1
dB below the threshold level.
