(COMP 1)
A compressor with a short attack time, suitable for vocals.
Compressor 2
(COMP 2)
A compressor with a long attack, suitable for recording instruments such as percussion or
acoustic guitar.
This applies mild compression when an unexpected, high-volume signal is input,
preventing clipping noise from occurring before the AD converter.
* Clipping noise will occur if the input exceeds the range of the limiter.
Limiter
(LIMIT)
OFF
(BYPASS)
The compressor/limiter circuit will be completely bypassed.
23. Phantom power switch
