Description
Compander B is the second device in a pair of two compander devices. Compander A compresses or expands the sound, and Compander B inverts that effect to restore the original signal. In between the two you can put a non-linear effect(s) like a distortion. The Companders allow you to shape how that effect behaves by shaping the input dynamics, which recreating the original dynamics on the other end. For example, you can heavily distort a drum bus and then restore the transients afterward.
