Punto de rodilla del Nivel de compresión automática


Explanation:
AGC stands for AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL.

The translation for knee-point sounds to literal to me, but this is what I found in some issues related to the topic.
For instance:
"La mayoría de los equipos de examen usan el espectro del habla propuesto por el National Bureau of Standards empleada en la norma ANSI S3.42-1992/97 para test estandarizado de audífonos. Esta señal esta diseñada para caer en intensidad a un ratio de 6 dB por octava a medida que la frecuencia alcanza los 900 Hz, PUNTO DE RODILLA a partir del cual disminuye 3 dB.

See ref.

Good luck!

agree  Raúl Waldman: 'Codo del control': 'codo' es la palabra que usan los técnicos/ingenieros 'argies'.

  -> ¿todos los 'argies', o sólo los "porties"? ¿los 'correntinies' y 'riojanies' también? ;-)))
