At the fader position of a channel, you have possibly the eight DCA plus the main fader, nine variables that get multiplied to get the gain constant that is used to modify the data stream. Let's say the Main fader is at +3dB, the first four DCA are at 0db and the final four at -3db, then the calculated constant will be 1.41x1.00x1.00x1.00x1.00x0.71x0.71x0.71x0.71=0.35355339.
