Pre-Dynamics (PRE DYN)
During “normal” operation (PRE DYN disengaged) the audio signal is output
from the dynamics module into the EQ module. Activating PRE DYN reverses
this routing, so the EQ is ahead of the dynamics module instead. Pre-dynam-
ics is active when the red LED below the button is illuminated.
Global
I/O Meters
The vertical LED-style metering provides a visual indication of the
signal levels at the input and output of the plug-in (the meters are
not calibrated).
The input meter is the left LED column and the output meter is the
right LED column.
Note:
Each meter column represents the sum of the left and right
channels (it is not a stereo meter).
Input
Input controls the signal level at the input to the plug-in. The de-
fault value is 0 dB. The available range is ±20 dB. Increasing
the input may result in more compression, depending on the
values of the Threshold and Ratio parameters.
Tip:
Click the “0” to return the control knob to its center position.
Output
Output controls the signal level that is output from the plug-in.
The default value is 0 dB. The available range is ±20 dB.
Tip:
Click the “0” to return the control knob to its center posi-
tion.
Phase (Ø)
The Phase (Ø) button inverts the polarity of the signal. The signal is
inverted when the button is depressed. Leave the button out for nor-
mal polarity.
