| Description | ...Compression |
| Compression Ratio of 1:1? | |
| Compression is applied gradually, over a wide range of input levels? | |
| Only the low-level sounds are linearly amplified? | |
| Has a Compression Ratio of less than 1:1? | |
| Reduces the inter-syllabic intensity differences? | |
| The volume control affects the signal before it reaches the compressor? | |
| Has a Compression Ratio of 8:1 or greater? | |
| When input levels rise above weak, reduction starts? | |
| Is not a straight line but curved. Continuously changes as input level changes? | |
| The I-O curves move up and down as volume control is varied? | |
