RATIO
The RATIO select is set to usual compressor increments that
range from 1:1 to 100:1. Simply turn the pot to set a desired
ratio. For example, 3:1 means that if a signal is 3 dB over the
threshold, it will be reduced in amplitude to 1 dB over the set
threshold. See “A Closer Look” on page 12 for further
information.
Note: The GAIN meter displays gain reduction. The LED moves downward
from the top of the meter starting at 0 dB and indicates negative dB, or
gain reduction.
Meters (S-BAND and GAIN)
The two meters in the lower right corner of the screen represent
the S-BAND meter and the GAIN (reduction) meter.
GAIN (Gain Reduction)
The gain reduction meter ranges from 0 dB to –40 dB and the
LED’s come down from the top of the meter, (0 dB), in an
opposite fashion as compared to regular level meters.
S-BAND
The S-BAND meter represents the dB level of the ess band. The
small white bar located between the S-BAND and GAIN meters
is a visual representation of the threshold that can be adjusted
using the threshold pot.
