CP2 - Stereo Compressor/Limiter/Gate

5 - Description of the command panel

[1] - Stereo Couple

The CP2 features two identical channels. The Stereo

Couple button allows you to add up in stereo the two

channels.

When activating this function, the CP2 is in stereo

mode: the channel 1 settings will be copied and applied

to channel 2.

The channel 2 knobs and buttons are inactive except for

the By-pass button and the volume output knob.

Once deactivated, the CP2 goes back to normal and

each channel can be configured independently.

[2] - Limiter

Allows you to add a maximum limit to the CP2 volume

output, independently from other settings. This absolute

limit prevents any peak despite the action of the

compressor and allows you to protect the devices

downstream of the CP2. Unlike the compressor, the

limiter does not act progressively and fully levels the

signal exceeding its threshold. It is crucial to properly

configure the compression to prevent the signals from

being excessively saturated once sent to the limiter. The

activation threshold is adjustable from 0 dBu to +20

dBu. As the limiter has a slight delay, we recommend to

set the threshold at 1 or 2 dB below the desired value in

order to get precise results.

[3] - Peak indicator

This LED lights up to indicate any over-limit signal and

to indicate the limiter is activated.

[4] - Bypass

The Bypass button allows you to deactivates the sound

processing of a particular channel. When this function

is activated, the incomin signal is directly connected to

the ouput. This function is usually used to compare the

processed signal to the unprocessed signal.

[5] - Output Gain

This knob controls the main output gain of the CP2.

This is especially useful to compensate for the decrease

due to the sound processing. Once your compression

settings have been made, if the viewmeter indicates

a decrease of 10 dB, place this knob onto +10 dB to

compensate.

[6] - Release

The Release control knob allows you to determine the

release time: the time the compressor needs to go back

to a neutral reduction of 1:1 once the signal went back

below the threshold. Can be configured from Slow to

Fast.

[7] - Auto

Allows you to activate the automatic selection of the

Attack and Release parameters. The corresponding

faders will no longer be useful. This function allows a

dense and musical compression especially for complex

signals with multiple level variations. These settings

must be configured manually when this button is

released.
