11. Compressor Release Control
The release determines how fast the compression circuitry will
return the input to its original level after levels have fallen below
the selected threshold. A fast release time will rigidly follow the
program material, whereas a slower released time will allow for
much smoother compression.

12. Auto Attack and Release Switch
Pushing this switch in will allow the DYN2000 to automatically
determine the best attack and release times based on the program
material put before it. When activated, it will affectively render the
attack and release controls useless.

13. Output Gain Control
This control adjusts the amount of gain applied to the signal at
the output stage (meaning the compression and gate thresholds
are not affected).
14. Bypass Button
The DYN2000 include a hard-wired bypass circuit, which is
active even while the power to the unit is off. While using the
unit, however, the bypass is useful in comparing processed and
unprocessed signals.
15. Output Level Meter
This 5 segment level meter gives users a visual indication of when
the output signal reaches certain levels. To make the most of your
audio, set the output gain control to a level that will ensure the
level meter's clip LED lights up only occasionally.
16. Limiter Control and Peak LED
Adjusting this control will allow users to apply a limiter to their
already compressed signal, affectively protecting speakers against
large transient sounds, as well as other excessive peaks and
overloads. Users are able to adjust the limiter between 0 and +20
dB, with +20 dB being the setting where the least amount of limiting
occurs. The Peak LED will light up whenever a signal reaches the
level set by the limiter control and is attenuated.
17. Stereo Couple Button
Pushing this button in switches the DYN2000 between stereo and
dual mono modes. In stereo mode, channel 1 acts as the master
control and all compression and gating is applied to both channel
1 and 2 inputs. In dual mono, both channels work independent
of one another.
