Description
Compressor parameters are set by the following numerical controls:
• Threshold - The compressor input level threshold is displayed here and can be adjusted
from -80dBu to +20dBu.
• Time Constant - The compressor time constant is displayed here and can be adjusted from
0.5 to 1000.0 ms.
• Ratio - The compression ratio is displayed here and can be adjusted from 1:1 (displayed as
"Off") to 50:1 (displayed as "INF:1").
• Makeup Gain - The makeup gain value is displayed here and can be adjusted from 0dB to a
limit which is a function of the threshold and compression ratio. The makeup gain value
automatically responds to changes to the compression ratio so that it never exceeds the
limit set by the rule:
maximum makeup gain = gain reduction at full scale input
where the gain reduction at full scale input (+20dBu) depends on the threshold and
compression ratio selected.
effect immediately. As always, the changes are not
permanent unless the DM84 settings are stored to a
preset in nonvolatile memory.
