DYNAMICS COMPRESSOR DC9

Classic Dynamics Compressor

Thank you for show ing your condence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER DYNAMICS COMPRESSOR DC9.
This ultimate eects pedal is spec ically designed to give a stable dynamics and an endless sustain to your
guitar by evening out the signal without degrading the or iginal sound. You can also use the DC9 to b oost
the overall volume of your instr ument for solo parts.

A compresso r limits the dynamic ran ge of a signal by attenuating si gnal peaks exceeding a ce rtain threshold le vel.
The amount of gain reduction is determined by the compression ratio. The result of compression is an attenuation
of the diere nce between loudes t and softest playi ng which achieves a more powe rful and punchy tone.

(1) The SENSITIVITY control determines the compression ratio. The higher you set the

SENSITIVITY value, the more the compression intensies. In other words, as you increase
the SENSITIVITY, you reduce the level dierence betwe en softest and loude st playing.

(2) The OUTPUT control adjusts the output level. Use it to compensate the gain reduction resulting

from the compression or to b oost the output level of your instrument.

(3) The LED illuminates when the ee ct is activated. It als o serves as a batter y level indicator.

(4) Depress the footswitch to activate/deactivate the eect.

(5) Use this ¼" TS IN connector to plug in the ins trument cable.
