Any device used for companding
A compander is a compressor/expander - a combination of signal compression and expansion The compander attenuates the input signal above the threshold as well as the level below the width For very dynamic material, this program allows you to retain the dynamic range without having to be concerned with excessive output signal levels and clipping See Dynamics Processor
1) A two section device that is used in noise reduction systems The first section compresses the audio signal, before it is recorded, and the second section, expands the signal after recording 2) In Yamaha brand digital consoles, a signal processing function that applies both compression and expansion to the same signal
Outboard sound equipment Combination of a Compressor and an Expander
A signal dynamic range compressor/expander; often used for noise sensitivity reduction Compressing the dynamic range increases the magnitudes of the lower level signals, which are the ones most sensitive to noise error Recorded in this form, signals remain less sensitive to tape noise Re-expanding the dynamic range later restores the signal in the absence of that noise source
