Gain Reduction Menu

This menu page is used to configure the Gain Reduction instrument. This instrument displays external gain reduction data, for example the compressor activity of a mixing desk channel, that can be fed to the TouchMonitor via its Network interface and TCP/IP. Suitable gain reduction data can be streamed by dynamic processors used in audio equipment that was prepared for this task. Please contact your local RTW sales rep to find out about equipment that is supported by the Gain Reduction instrument.

Please note:
Before using the Gain Reduction instrument, the External Data parameters in the System/Network menu must be configured in order to establish communication between external equipment sending Gain Reduction Metering data and the TouchMonitor.

Please note:
Only one Gain Reduction instrument can be used in each Audio Group. In any Audio Group set to a channel mode other than "Multichannel", this Gain Reduction instrument will have only one GR bargraph. However, in a Audio Group set to "Multichannel" mode, the number of bargraphs shown in the GR instrument will reflect the channel width of the multichannel Audio Group.

Please note:
In order to use more than one Gain Reduction instrument (= more than one Audio Group) for a preset, the Multichannel licence must be installed in your TouchMonitor unit (except TMR7).
