3. Attack Knob This sets the amount of time it takes the WA76 to respond to an incoming signal and begin compressing. Having too fast of an attack time can sometimes cause a recording to sound less “life-like”...

CHAPTER 3: TECHNICAL SPECS 4. Release Knob This sets the amount of time it takes the WA76 to return to its initial (uncompressed) level. The WA76’s release time is adjustable from 50 milliseconds to 1100 milliseconds (1.1 seconds). If the release time is too fast, “pumping” and “breathing” can occur due to the rapid rise of background noise during gain restoration.

-23db. In most normal operations, the pad should not be necessary. This feature is handy when using a high gain preamp before the WA76 that does not have output attenuation, or with a source with an extremely loud transient, such as snare drum. When sending a loud line level signal into the WA76 input, this feature will provide greater flexibility to the WA76 input control, allowing you to turn it up higher before compression begins.

Recording interface In this example, a microphone is feeding into a preampflier, which feeds into the WA76 via a balanced XLR patch cable, which feeds into the LINE LEVEL input of your recording interface/recorder. Note: it is important to use a line level input on your recording device...
