Tone Control: Every channel features a dedicated tone
control. These are 2- or 3-band equalizers that essentially
let you boost or cut your high, mid and low frequency
audio by 18 dB to sooth overly harsh audio or enhance
subtle sounds that need to be brought up in your mix
Microphone inputs feature a 3-band equalizer, with a
sweepable mid-frequency control. All other inputs feature
a 2-band EQ with high and low frequency controls.
Dynamic
Processor:
The
compressors and limiters built in. A compressor reduces
signals over a user-defined threshold by a user-defined
amount/ratio. A limiter is similar, but with a ∞:1 ratio.
On Button: This activates the Dynamic Processor.
Reset: The reset button will return the dynamic processor
to the default parameters.
Compressor Threshold: This adjusts the threshold of the
compressor. Once your signal level passes the selected
threshold, the compressor will kick-in at the set ratio.
Limiter Threshold: This adjusts the threshold of the
limiter function. This works in conjunction with the
compressor. A limiter simply act as a compressor with an
∞:1 ratio.
Ratio: This can be used to adjust the compressor input/

Smartman
has
both
output signal ratio. This essentially determines the level
at which the signal will be cut after the threshold is
surpassed.
Output Gain: Increases the final output level of the
compressor/limiter.
Attack: The attack control adjusts the time it will take
for the compressor/limiter to kick in after the signal rises
above the set threshold.
Release: The release control adjusts the time it will take
for the compressor/limiter to deactivate after the signal
falls below the set threshold.
