interference on the two VU

meters can be monitored if the

instrument cluster mode toggle

switch is set to the up position. In

this case, the home position of

the instrument cluster is at 0 and

shows the degree of signal level

reduction to the left (in the

negative direction) per dBu unit.

After switching between the LOCOMP and HICOMP positions, it may be

necessary to readjust the threshold level and time constants.

DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR

The RELEASE parameter determines how long it takes

for the compressor to complete the intervention if the

input signal level falls below the set intervention

threshold level.

To change the run speed of the procedure, turn the

switch labeled RELEASE counterclockwise to set a

slower procedure, or turn it clockwise to set a faster

procedure.

THRESHOLD, determines the signal level at

which the dynamics controller starts

compressing. The timing of the intervention

can be manipulated by the operator by

setting the time constants discussed above,

which has a signiﬁcant inﬂuence on the

nature of the sound. The extent of the
