The STC reacts differently depending on these three parameters
●
●
●
The compressor threshold, the limiter threshold and the compressor rate are all user-
selectable parameters. The compressor threshold range of value is [-48, 0] dB with a
0.25 dB step. The limiter threshold range of values is [-24, +12] dB with a 0.25 dB step. The
compressor ratio range of value is [0, 15], the meaning of these values is specified in
Table
1:1 or setting the compressor threshold greater than the limiter threshold makes the STC
behave as a pure limiter

level meter output value < compressor threshold < limiter threshold: under these
circumstances the signal level is small enough to not require any type of
limiting/compressing action. The signal remains unchanged.
compressor threshold < level meter output value < limiter threshold: under these
circumstances the signal level is compressed to a ratio determined by the compressor
rate.
compressor threshold < limiter threshold < level meter output value: under these
circumstances the signal level exceeds the limiter threshold which represents the
maximum output power allowed. The signal is limited to avoid unpredictable effects and
damages.
