| Parameter	| Description
Frequency	This determines the center frequency of the EQ, i.e. at which frequency the level should be decreased or increased. The range is 39 Hz to 20 kHz.
Gain	Specifies how much the level of the selected frequency range should be boosted or cut. The gain range is ±18 dB.
Q	This governs the width of the affected area around the set center frequency. The higher the value, the narrower the affected frequency range.

| Parameter	| Description
Frequency	Frequencies below (Lo Shelf) or above (Hi Shelf) the selected frequency will be boosted or cut. • The Lo Shelf range is 30 Hz to 600 Hz. • The Hi Shelf range is 3 kHz to 12 kHz.
Gain	Specifies how much the level should be boosted or cut. The gain range is ±18 dB.
Q	This governs the slope of the shelving curve. The higher the value, the steeper the curve slope. High Q settings will also produce a “bump” in the opposite cut/boost direction at the set frequency.

X-Over Frequency	This determines the crossover frequency between the Hi and Lo band. Range is 100 Hz - 6 kHz. Frequencies below this will be affected by the Lo Width setting; frequencies above will be affected by the Hi Width setting.
Lo Width	This adjusts the stereo width for the Lo band. Turn anti-clockwise to narrow the stereo width (i.e. to make it more “mono”), and clockwise to widen the stereo image. Center position means no change from original signal. The “Active” LED indicates whether Low Width is activated or not. Note that for the Lo band, it is more common to narrow the stereo image, as the low frequency content in a mix is usually mixed center and can become less defined if widened.
Hi Width	This adjusts the stereo width for the Hi band. Turn anti-clockwise to narrow the stereo width (i.e. to make it more “mono”), and clockwise to widen the stereo image. Center position means no change from original signal. The “Active” LED indicates whether Hi Width is activated or not.
Solo switch	This allows you to listen to the Lo and Hi bands separately, for reference purposes. “Normal” is the standard operating mode.

Input Gain	The Input Gain controls the ”drive” of the compression. This determines how much compression the signal will have in conjunction with the Threshold. Range: ±12 dB.
Threshold	This sets the level at which onset of compression occurs. When the input level is below the Threshold setting the signal is unaffected. When the input level exceeds the threshold, compression kicks in. In practice, this means that the lower the Threshold setting (and the higher the Input Gain), the more compression will be applied. Range: -36 dB to 0 dB
Soft Knee	Normally signals above the threshold will be compressed immediately at whatever ratio is set. This can be very noticeable, especially when using high compression ratios. When Soft Knee is activated, the onset of compression will be more gradual, producing a less drastic result.
Ratio	This lets you specify the amount of gain reduction applied to the signals above the set threshold. The Ratio can be set from 1:1 (no reduction) to ∞:1 (Infinite).
Gain meter	This shows the amount of gain reduction (in dB).
Solo Sidechain	This allows you to monitor the signal connected to the sidechain input (see below).
Attack	This governs how quickly the compressor will apply its effect when signals rise above the set threshold. If you raise this value, the response will be slower, allowing more of the signal to pass through the compressor unaffected. Typically, this is used for preserving the attacks of the sounds. Range: 1ms to 100ms.
Release	When the signal level drops below the set threshold, this determines how long it takes before the compressor lets the sound through unaffected. Set this to short values for intense, “pumping” compressor effects, or to longer values for a smoother change of the dynamics. Range: 50ms to 600ms.
Adapt Release	When this is used, set Release to the time you want for short peaks - when longer peaks occur, the Release time is automatically increased.
Output Gain	This controls the output gain and can be used to compensate for the gain reduction caused by compression. Range: ±12 dB.

| Parameter	| Description
Input Gain	The Input Gain sets the basic volume of a mix. If this is set very high, you should use Look Ahead mode or the Soft Clip function to eliminate the risk of hard clipping distortion. Range: ±12 dB.
Limiter On/Off	This turns the Limiter section on or off.
Look Ahead On/Off	If activated, this will introduce a very short delay (4 ms) to the signal. This delay is used to detect peaks in the signal before they actually occur. If high peaks are detected the limiter is “ready for them” and gain reduction is applied to transparently control the peaks.
Attack (Fast/Mid/Slow)	This governs how quickly the Limiter will apply its effect. If set to Fast with Look Ahead activated (and the Output Gain is set to 0 dB) you will get “brick wall” limiting - no signal peaks over 0 dB will pass.
Release (Fast/Slow/Auto)	This determines how long it takes before the Limiter lets the sound through unaffected. If Auto is activated, the Release time will automatically adapt to the program material.
Output Gain	This controls the output gain and should normally be set to 0 dB.
Soft Clip On/Off	If this is activated, it also acts a 0 dB brick wall limiter but in a slightly different way. The signal will be “soft-clipped” which adds a pleasant, warm sounding distortion to the signal. It can be used simply to get this effect, or as a safeguard against hard clipping distortion if Look Ahead with Mid or Slow attack settings are used (or if Look Ahead is deactivated).
Soft Clip Amount	This controls the amount of soft-clipping distortion. Note that if Soft Clip is on but the Amount is set to zero, the distortion will be like hard clipping, and thus less pleasing to the ear.
Output level meter (Peak/VU)	This is a more detailed meter than found on the mixer. You can switch the meter characteristics between Peak (faster response to peaks) and VU mode (average levels).
