2B Breakpoint The release rate (measured in dB/second) in the 6300's compressors
is constant when the gain reduction is higher than the control's setting, and expo-
nential when the gain reduction is lower than the control's setting.
When the release is exponential, the release rate is proportional to the amount of
gain reduction. Do not confuse this with the reverse exponential characteristic trig-
gered by setting the 2B R control to E . In this case, release com-
