Operation

ATTACK: The attacktime will determine the characteristics and size of peaks allowed to pass

through the device prior to compression or attenuation. A long attacktime leads to overshoot, while a

short attacktime will squash the sound. As the attacktime lengthens you will notice that high-

frequency contents pass less attenuated , and can even lead to accentuation. The attack time on the

Dymand is adjustable from 50uSec to 500mSec. Try to understand the effect of the attacktime by

listening to it's effect on different kinds of music, instruments, vocals etc.

RELEASE: The releasetime is the time the process needs to recover from gainreduction. This

function is very important, since it determines the speed of the process. A very short releasetime will

lead to fast gain changes, thus increasing loudness.

Releasetime adjustment should be done very carefully, because a short releasetime can lead to

pumping or breathing. Pumping can be used as an effect, but when unwanted can be reduced by

increasing the releasetime. The course of the release is also very important, it should be a natural

(logarithmical) course. Listen to the effect of changing the releasetime, to understand it's effect

correctly. The releasetime on the Dymand is adjustable from 50mSec. to 5 Sec.

DETECTION: The detectioncircuit of the Dymand is normally driven by the inputsignal (feed-forward

detection), this means the process is dependent of the signal at the input. The Dymand has several

other options for detection; output, keying, side-chain and locut.

OUTPUT: Switches the Dymand to output-detection; this means the process is dependent on the

outputsignal, which is already processed. This way of processing (feedback-detection) may be hard

to understand, but it works very well; the signal is less distorted, it sounds as if the process slowed

down.

KEYING: The Dymand has a key-input, this input can be switched to detection by means of the key-

switch. This function can be used for ducking etc. For ducking connect the music to input and output,

and the voice-over to the key-input.

SIDE-CHAIN: You can switch the side-chain input and output in the detection signal by means of the

chain-switch. When an equaliser is connected to the side-chain, frequency-selective processing such

as de-essing etc. can be achieved.

LOCUT: The locut switch switches a lowcut filter in the detectioncircuit. This function can be used to

prevent pumping or breathing or to create a low-boost.

The detectionsignal can always be monitored by means of the DETECTION-MONITOR switch. This

switch connects the detection-signal to the compressors output. When this function is used, the on-

switch illuminates red, to indicate you're not listening to the normal output-signal.
