Compression Value

[Rich-4]

Are the K3S compression values 0 - 40 equal to DB or are they just
arbitrary numbers?

Just curious what those numbers related to if anything. Obviously I
realize they relate to how much compression. LOL

Thanks

I find them to be relative.  I adjust for about 10dB indicated. The CMP value is 15 or so.

I believe they are just reference numbers

However the Cmp meter is in dB.

They have no direct relationship to compression in dB. View compression
in dB from the display, which varies on voice peaks. A good rule of
thumb is 10 dB.
