The bandwidth can be set within a range from 2.3 to 0.7 octaves, so as to realize even extremely narrow-band filter settings. the operating mode of the unit: gate or expander), the RANGE/RATIO control determines the maximum amount of gain reduction or the expansion curve. In gate mode, this control adjusts the RANGE determining the amount of maximum gain (3) The FILTER control activates the parametric reduction from 0 dB to -80 dB. In expander sidechain filter. To edit this filter there you mode, it works as a RATIO control setting can use the frequency and BW control. the expansion ratio. The ratio function (4) The MONITOR switch establishes a link between the sidechain control signal and the audio output. As it also mutes the audio determines the input vs. output level ratio, for all signals below the threshold. The setting range is from 1:1 to 1:4. input signal the user can pre-monitor the (11) The 8-digit GAIN REDUCTION meter parametric filter output, which makes it informs you about the current amount easier to tune the filter by ear. of gain reduction within a range from (5) Use the THRESHOLD control to set the 1 to 40 dB. threshold point of the expander/gate (12) When you press the COUPLE switch, function within a range from BYPASS to this channel is automatically configured as +10 dBu.

LED (yellow) informs you that the hold circuit/release process has been activated, while the "-" LED (green) shows that the Check Out behringer.com for Full Manual sidechain signal is above the threshold. (7) The HOLD control determines the delay applied to the starting point of the release process, after the signal has dropped below the threshold. The setting range is 0 to 4 seconds. (8) The RELEASE control determines the time of the release process. This process begins after the end of the hold phase and ends when the gain reduction adjusted with the RANGE control is achieved. The setting range of the RELEASE control is from 0.05 to 4 seconds. (9) The MODE switch is used to set the operating mode of the respective channel. When the switch is out, the corresponding section works as an ultra-fast gate. In this mode, even percussive signals can be processed without any signal loss. With the MODE function on, the IRC expander (Interactive Ratio Control) is activated. This interactive control function allows for the program-dependent expansion of complex signals.
