System description. The D&R Stereo Compressor/Limiter is designed to deal with excessive dynamics in music and speech. Its wide input Threshold range and Ratio's make it possible to control any incoming signal from as low as -40dBu up to +20dBu . To manipulate the behavior of the control signal the "time constants" controls, called Attack and Release, can change the response time of the control signal. A "Make-Up" gain controls restores the lost gain when compressing the input signal. A gain reduction meter shows the amount of gain reduction and behavior of the control signal in terms of attack and release. The ON switch cancels the control voltage to the VCA when in the "up" position. The VCA will stay in the signal path, even when the compressor is not active. The gain will be unity at that time. The back panel of the unit has four 1/4" jack sockets, two unbalanced inputs and two ground compensated outputs. The Stereo Compressor/Limiter has a combined control chain which is fed by both inputs at the same time. Mono use of the unit is possible by using only one channel. It is not possible to use the unit as two individual compressor/limiters. 2. Voltage selection Before plugging your D&R into the mains be sure that yo
