And the Mirror is a pre-amp and no compressor.
Yes, thanks Paul - Mirror is a preamp. VARIS - compressor with VARIABLE GAIN - i.e RATIO,

Actually, it`s main sense of the compressors with variable Ratio - so called Vari Mu. Therefore, these compressors have not Ratio knob in 90%..... Ratio knob of variable Ratio (though it was installed into old Urei-s).

(in turn, Solution is optical leveler based on the another idea absolutely and where Ratio knob is very usable).

So, to be honest we not see sense Ratio knob in the compressors with variable Ratio (as well as many other engineers/manufacturers).... i.e. guys.... less knobs more music, not knobs make a music. We are smiling when customers think - "obviously manufacturers not know regarding sound processing and therefore not instal important knobs" .
You just will not use these knobs, take a word.
