What is a compressor?

A compressor in sound engineering belongs to the group of dynamic processors. It serves to restrict the signal’s dynamic scope. The settings options “Low” and “High” represent the degree of compression of the input signal. The compressor is the classic choice for boosting quiet signals and can be used as an alternative to the modern solution, ALC, in the event that this function is not suitable for use with certain applications. You can find information about this in the Unite TH quick start guide. Depending upon the microphone used, plosive sounds (e.g. P, B, T, D, K) may be annoying for listeners. To reduce this “pop” effect, Unite also has a “less pop noise” setting for the additional reduction of these unwanted sounds.
