four channel microphone preamplifier compressor/limiter Signals with wide dynamic range demand greater Ratio attention from the listener, and require listening The ratio control determines how much compression is conditions with low background noise. Consequently, applied to the signal. The ratio (such as 2:1) refers to in areas with high background noise, such as a the ratio of change in input level to the change in restaurant, it is hard to listen to signals with a wide... -
