4 Fr ont Panel OverEasy® Switch: OverEasy® provides a smooth transition from the com- pressor’s linear region to the compressed region. This smooth transition greatly reduces compression artifacts and allows faster attack times and higher com- pression ratios while still maintaining the natural characteristics of the signal. The switch lights t ...

8 Applications signal too low. If the 262 is “post fader” (i.e., the 262 is connected to mixer inserts so that the compression effect occurs after the level set by the mixer channel’s volume fader), adjusting the mixer’s volume fader changes the input level and the amount of compression. If you would rather have this volume fader control ou ...

mic changes, or when the dynamics of a voice changes relative to a vocalist’s range. T o smooth out these variations, start with the 262 in OverEasy® mode and adjusted for a low to medium COMPRESSION RA TIO (e.g., 4:1). Adjust the THRESHOLD control so that the GAIN REDUCTION meters show 6 dB to 10 dB of gain reduction, then increase the COMPRESS ...

10 Applications REDUCTION meters show 15dB of gain reduction, then increase the COMPRES- SION RA TIO if necessary. In OverEasy® mode, the 262 takes slightly longer to react than in Hard Knee mode, and will ther efore emphasize the slap at the beginning of the note and reduce the boominess of its body. The 262 also works well for tightening snare d ...
