RATIO 10:1 / 3:1

The purpose of this switch (Channel 1 & Channel 2) is to allow selection of either compressor

(3:1) or limiter (10:1). Compression (3:1) occurs from the breakaway point (-30dB input). In the

10:1 position, the L2M operates as a compressor until it reaches the -20dB point then rolls-over

into limiting action. Thus, combining the characteristics of a compressor and a limiter in the 10:1

mode.

LIMITER RESPONSE

With LIMITER RESPONSE (both channels) set fully counter-clockwise, the L2M will provide

equal compression/limiting at all frequencies by responding to the entire spectrum of the pro-

gram material. When LIMITER RESPONSE is set fully clockwise, frequencies below 1-kHz

gradually require more energy to initiate gain reduction. For frequencies below 100Hz, gain re-

duction initiation is down approximately 10dB. This arrangement is ideal for general program

material & especially material with a great deal of bass energy and/or broad bass dynamics.

The result is a marked smoothing of mid and high frequencies (above 1-kHz) and a tight and

punchy bass response.

LIMITER RESPONSE - OPERATIONAL NOTE:

For uniform limiter initiation and response in MONO or LINK mode, both channels require

LIMITER RESPONSE to be at the same setting. This is also applies to PEAK REDUCTION.

PEAK REDUCTION

Set fully counter-clockwise, the L2M exhibits no gain reduction and acts as a line ampliﬁer.

Turning PEAK REDUCTION (Channel 1 & Channel 2) clockwise will gradually increase gain

reduction. PEAK REDUCTION should be set for the desired amount of gain reduction as indi-

cated on the VU meter while in the GR (GAIN REDUCTION) mode. A reading of -3dB to -7dB

during the highest peaks of the program material is a reasonable range to work within, how-

ever, you are encouraged to experiment.

PEAK REDUCTION - OPERATIONAL NOTE:

Additional PEAK REDUCTION may be needed to offset the reduction in limiting action that

occurs as you increase the setting of the LIMITER RESPONSE.

For uniform limiter initiation and response in MONO or LINK mode, both channels require

PEAK REDUCTION to be at the same setting. This is also applies to LIMITER RESPONSE.
