Dynamics Parameters

Each channel has a GATE section (input channels and ST IN channels only) and a COMP section. The Gate section includes

Gate and Ducking types. The Comp section includes Compressor, Expander, Compander Hard (COMP. (H)), and Com-

pander Soft (COMP. (S)) types.

❏

GATE

A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE).

❏

DUCKING

Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced automatically when an

announcer speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by

a specified amount (RANGE).

This determines the level at which the gate effect is applied.

RANGE (dB)

, –69 to 0 (71 points)

This determines the amount of attenuation when the gate closes.

ATTACK (ms)

This determines how long the gate stays open once the trigger signal has fallen

below the threshold.
