    1.3 Concepts and Terminology There are 3 main parameters that set the API 2500 from other compressors: Thrust, Compression Type, and its adjustable Knee. When used in conjunction with one anoth er, these parameters give the API 2500 unprecedented flexibility. Knee Sets the knee, the manner in which the compressor begins to reduce the gain of the si ...

    Thrust Sets the Thrust, a proprietary process that inserts a High Pass Filter at the RMS detector input, limiting compression response to lower frequencies while applying additional co mpression to higher frequencies. • In Norm mode, there is no filter and the 2500 functions like a normal compressor. • In Med mode, there is a slight attenuation ...

    Type Sets the Compression type, which determines the signal source being fe d to the RMS detector. • In New (Feed Forward) mode, the compressor works like newer VCA-based compressors. The RMS detector sends a signal to the VCA that is an exact ratio of the desired compression, set by the ratio control. • In Old (Feed Back) mode, the RMS detecto ...

    Threshold S ets the point at which compression begins. Threshold for each stereo ch annel is set independently, since each channel has its own RMS detector, even in Link mode. In Auto Gain Make-up mode, the Threshold also affects the gain. Threshold is a co ntinuous control. Range +10dBu to -20dBu (-12dBFS to -42dBFS) Default 0dBu Attack Sets the a ...

    A note about Sidechain: Sidechain lets you trigger the compressor using an exte rnal source, which is fed into the RMS detector and controls the compression of the input signal. Sidechain may only be used in New (Feed Forward) mode. An external sidechain trigger cannot be used in Old (Feed Back) mode; attempting to do so automatically switches the ...
