Using dynamics
LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual
The window contains the following items.
1 Dynamics type buttons
Use these buttons to select one of the following four
types of dynamics.
B Dynamics graph
This graph shows the approximate response of dynam-
ics processing.
C Level meters
These meters show the amount of gain reduction (GR),
and the peak levels before the gate (IN) and after the
gate (OUT). If the signal has overloaded, the OVER
segment will light. If the corresponding channel is ste-
reo (a ST IN channel, a MIX channel / MATRIX chan-
nel that is set to stereo, or the STEREO channel), level
meters for two channels will be displayed.
D DYNAMICS ON/OFF button
This switches dynamics on/off.
E THRESHOLD knob
This specifies the threshold level at which dynamics
will operate.
F KEY IN SOURCE box
You can select a key-in signal in this box. For details
on the procedure, refer to step 6.
G Other parameters
This area shows other dynamics parameters. The
parameters shown will depend on the currently
selected dynamics type.
H KEY IN FILTER field (GATE and DUCKING
only)
This field lets you apply a filter to the key-in signal.
This field provides a FILTER box that lets you select
the filter type, a Q knob (which adjusts the Q of the fil-
ter), and a FREQ knob (which adjusts the cutoff fre-
quency or center frequency).
To change the filter type, move the cursor to the FIL-
TER BOX and use the dial or the [DEC]/[INC] keys to
select either HPF (high-pass filter), BPF (band-pass
filter), or LPF (low-pass filter); then press the
[ENTER] key. If you select “----” in the FILTER box,
no filter will be applied.
I KEY IN CUE (GATE and DUCKING only)
This button lets you cue-monitor the currently selected
key-in signal.

To turn dynamics on/off, move the cursor to
the DYNAMICS ON/OFF button and press
the [ENTER] key.
If you want to make settings in the DYNAMICS 1/
DYNAMICS 2 popup window, move the cursor to the
desired button/knob and use the [ENTER] key, the
dial, or the [DEC]/[INC] keys.

and pressing the [ENTER] key.

• After changing the type of filter in the FILTER box, be sure to
press the [ENTER] key to apply the change.
NOTE
•Even if you’ve selected MIX CUE mode (when all channels
whose [CUE] key is on will be mixed for monitoring) as the
cue mode, turning on the KEY IN CUE button will give priority
to monitoring only the corresponding signal. All [CUE] keys
that had been turned on at that time will be forcibly defeated.
• KEY IN CUE will automatically be cancelled when you exit the
corresponding screen.

•You can also adjust the dynamics threshold by using the
[DYNAMICS 1]/[DYNAMICS 2] encoders of the SELECTED
CHANNEL section.
