OPERATING LEVEL
COUPLE
Switches the detector section to the external SC
input.
Monitoring the external SC input, disengaging the
normal audio.
Enables the “Interactive Knee Adaptation”
characteristics.
Enable the automatic and program dependent setting
of the Attack-/Release times, disengaging the manual
Attack-/Release controls.
Switches between input and output for the Level
Meter.
Changes the internal reference level from +4 dBu
to –10dBu.
Linking both channels for stereo operation. Channel 1
becomes master.
