This I might expect - if you are mixing a high level (uncompressed) signal with the lower level (compressed) signal, the mix ought to be lower. Theory is fine.
However, what I find very odd is that the level of the dry signal is higher than the bypassed signal level - much, much higher. Further, the gain knob only affects the wet signal - although in the manual it states that the makeup gain applies independently of the compression.
So perhaps I've misunderstood, but I would have thought the fully dry signal would be at the same volume level as the bypassed level. And I also would have thought the makeup gain would apply to the signal no matter the position of wet/dry. At fully dry, turning gain has no effect whatsoever; it only affects the wet signal and therefore only affects levels when I have the wet/dry knob at least somewhat wet.
Have I managed to make a simple statement complicated?
I have 2 B16's and they both calibrate fine, and they both exhibit this behavior.
Thanks in advance any replies.
