There are various presets which create a distinct effect as an enhancement to the original source. The Frequency Dynamics program utilizes an adjustable cross-over feeding independent bass and treble compressors. There is an adjustable gate which can conceptualized as being at the output of the processor. ALL PRESETS SHOULD BE UTILIZED “PRE-FADER” FROM THE CONSOLE SOURCE. About the Parameters Page 1 TSL (Treble Slope) TSL defines the ratio of the high-frequency compressor. A LARC value of 128 equals a 2:1 compression ratio. TBR (Treble Rotate - threshold) TBR determines the point at which treble compression starts to occur. TBM (Treble Maximum Gain) TBM controls the amount of gain introduced below the Rotate value. ie: If Rotate is set to -14, and gain is set at 10, when signals go below -14dB (average) then the signal will be boosted by 10dB. XOV (Crossover Frequency) XOV is a6dB/octave low frequency, 12dB/octave high frequency sliding filter which determines what frequencies are low frequency and high frequency. HFC (High Frequency Cut) HFC controls the roll-off characteristics of the treble compressed content of the signal. XOM (Crossover Mix - sine/cosine) XOM controls the mix of low frequency and high frequency signals. It is the final mix control in the program. Page 2 LSL (Low Frequency Compression Ratio) LSL defines the ratio of the low-frequency compressor. A LARC value of 128 equals a 2:1 compression ratio. LFR (Low Frequency Rotation Point) LFR determines the point at which low-frequency compression starts to occur. LMG (Low Frequency Maximum Gain) LMG controls the amount of low-frequency gain introduced below the Rotate value. ie: If Rotate is set to - 24, and gain is set at 6, when signals go below -24dB (average) then the signal will be boosted by as much as 6dB. ATC (Attack Time Constant) Sets the attack time. RTC (Release Time Constant) Sets the relase time. DLY (Front Delay) DLY determines the amount audio delay before the compressor modules. This effectively allows the 480L to perform a “look ahead” function to the compressors. Page 3 GATE (Noise Gate) GATE sets a value at which the noise gate starts to occur. Units are described in dB below 0. These values should, typically, be set very high. 13-2

before compression. You may need to adjust both<br />

TBR(Treble Rotate) and LFR(Low Frequency Rotate).<br />
