Static Compressor Output Level

static compressor output level calculator online

Use static compressor output level online for input dB, threshold dB, ratio. Hard-knee static model; attack, release and makeup gain excluded. Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.

How to use it

Enter input dB. Set threshold dB, ratio. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

Calculation method

output_dB = min(input_dB,threshold_dB)+max(0,input_dB-threshold_dB)/range(ratio,1,1000) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply static compressor output level to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Hard-knee static model; attack, release and makeup gain excluded.

Static Compressor Output Level — worked case

Settings: threshold dB: -18; ratio: 4

Input:

-6

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "output_dB": -15
}

Choose the right tool

Choose timing tools for tempo and samples, tuning tools for frequency ratios, and level tools for amplitude or power. Coherent signal addition differs from independent-source addition; acoustic room estimates assume simplified conditions.

Limitations and common mistakes

• Hard-knee static model; attack, release and makeup gain excluded. Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.
• Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
