TECHNICAL BACKGROUND 5. 1 EXPANDER mode As already described, a so-called downward expander automatically reduces the overall level of all signals that drop below an adjustable threshold, and thus expands the dynamic range of the program material. In other words, an expander is the opposite of a compressor. Expanders us ...

Although the MULTIGATE PRO allows for a maximum gain reduction of 80 dB, it is usually not useful to reduce the signal level by this maximum amount. In particular, with highly noise-affected signals we recommend that you use a signal attenuation of not more than 10 to 20 dB, so tha ...
