When the limiter is set to operate with the compressor, the green peak LED will light
when the limiter takes control. It is recommended that the limiter be used in conjunction
with the compressor.
Attack modulation (A-Mod) is in the upper right corner and lower left corner on the
preset switch (see Preset Switch layout, page 5). Using A-Mod will help prevent the
chopped off limited type of sound that occurs when a source is peak limited. A-Mod will
usually result in a less processed sound.
A-Mod is also useful in program averaging. When using long attack times a volume suck down
may occur at the beginning of a song because of the time it takes the compressor to bring
gain under control. The A-Mod setting shortens the compressor attack time when the peak
threshold is exceeded. Then it allows the compressor to return to normal operation. By
having a shorter attack time at the start of the song, the compressor quickly controls
Gain, avoiding the volume suck down.
Light to moderate peak limiting will result in transparent peak limiting when the limiter
is used in conjunction with the compressor.
