527A Compressor/Limiter API

4.0 Compressor TYPE
The 527A compressor can be set to operate in two circuit topologies or “TYPEs” that determine where
the signal that feeds the RMS detector comes from:
• OLD: Feed-Back topology: The RMS detector receives the signal from after the VCA
• NEW: Feed-Forward topology: The RMS detector receives the signal from before the VCA
4.1 NEW (Feed-Forward)
In a feed-forward compressor, the RMS detector normally gets its signal from a split of the input sig-
nal. With this method, the RMS detector sends a signal to the VCA that is an exact ratio of the desired
compression set by the RATIO control. This is how many new VCA based compressors work. This can
yield more aggressive compression and a harder, more affected sound.
4.2 OLD (Feed-back)
In a feed-back compressor, the RMS detector gets its signal from the output of the gain reduction
device (VCA). This is how older API 525, 1176 type, and 660 type compressors work. This yields a
smoother, softer, more transparent sound.
The compressor circuit topology is selected using the TYPE switch.
TYPE: Toggle to select the compressor circuit topology
• NEW: Engages the feed-forward topology
• OLD: Engages feed-back topology
