New Format Presets In Version 3.00

The 21 named format presets in Version 3.00 are entirely new. They exploit new Version
3.00 features, including the OUTPUT MIX controls for the 5-Band Limiter and the
HIGH FREQUENCY COUPLING control. They apply appropriate amounts of BASS,
PRESENCE, and BRILLIANCE equalization.

more than one format. So there are actually 16 distinct and different presets. Each preset
has full

presets from which they were taken and the nominal
Many of the presets come in several "flavors," like "dense," "medium," and "open."
These refer to the density produced by the processing. "Open" uses SLOW multi-band
release time, "Medium" uses MEDIUM-SLOW release, and "Dense" uses MEDIUM-
FAST. FAST release is only used in the NEWS/TALK and SPORTS presets.

control to trade off loudness against processing artifacts and side effects.
Once you have used LESS-MORE, save your edited preset as a USER
PRESET.

tune the frequency balance of the programming, feel free to enter FULL CONTROL and
make small changes to the BASS, PRESENCE, and BRILLIANCE controls. Remember
to do this after you have decided on a
