[TenTec] ALC action on Orion

[Ron Castro]

Since the Orion's ALC is both hardware and software based, it can operate 
over a fairly wide range of input levels and still be relatively 
transparent.  Theoretically, reducing your output by 3 dB and maintaining 
the exact same drive would require a 3 dB decrease in your audio level, 
which is a pretty small amount.  This would be complicated by the fact the 
Orion's mic inputs have a hardware AGC built in, so changes in the input 
level would be partially offset.
