FUNCTION SWITCHES
SC Ext.:	Routes the external sidechain input signal to the detector
SC Mon:	Routes the sidechain signal to the output, interrupting the normal audio
OverEasy®:	Activates the OverEasy compression function
Contour:	Activates the frequency-dependent detector function
Auto:	Activates automatic program-dependent attack and release times, disabling the manual Attack and Release controls
I/O Meter:	Switches between monitoring input and output levels on the Input/Output Level meter
Bypass:	Activates the direct input-to-output hard-wire relay bypass. Relay automatically hard-wire bypasses unit at power-down and provides a power-on delay of 1.5 sec.
Operating Level (rear panel):	Switches the nominal operating level between -10 dBV and +4 dBu simultaneoulsy for both input and output levels
ST Link:	Link both channels for stereo operation. Channel One becomes the master

INDICATORS
Gain Reduction Meter:	12-segment LED bar graph at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 dB

Compressor Threshold Meter:	3-segment LED bar graph at Below (-), OverEasy and Above (+)
Exp/Gate Threshold Meter:	2-segment LED bar graph at Below (-) and Above (+)
Limiter, Threshold Meter:	1 LED to indicate PeakStopPlus™ limiting
Function Switches:	LED indicator for each front-panel switch

OPTIONS – Output Transformer
Per Channel:	Jensen® JT-123-dbx or JT-11-dbx, BCI RE-123-dbx or RE-11-dbx
