Page 2: Operation And Safety Precautions
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR OPERATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please note that the GL-TC1 Dictator is intended for professional use. It’s not a consumer electronic device. Its installation and use require certain professional sound engineering knowledge and skills. Lack of this knowledge may result in malfunction, damage or personal injury. - Page 3 DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR In the following cases, turn off the machine immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact us (www.gainlabaudio.com): ■ if the mains plug of the appliance is damaged ■ if you notice smoke or an unusual odor ■...

Page 4: Cleaning And Maintenance
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Clean the appliance daily with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Use a soft, abrasion-free cloth to remove stubborn dirt. Then wipe the device with a dry cloth. Never use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other solvents, strong alkaline or acidic cleaners as they may cause discoloration and deformation. -
Page 5: Meter Mode Switch
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR LEFT, RIGHT METERS The meters provide information - optionally - on the magnitude of the signal level leaving the unit or the degree of interference from the compressor. Being a stereo compressor, the right-hand VU meter shows the levels for the right channel, while the left-hand VU meter shows the levels for the left channel. -
Page 6: Input Level Switch
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR INPUT LEVEL SWITCH With the help of the input signal level controller, it is possible to increase the signal level entering the device if, for example, it does not reach the lowest interference threshold level, or if we want to achieve additional gain on the input for any reason. - Page 7 DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR compression, the refraction curve of which is also much more angular. This mode is especially recommended for sound design purposes, as well as on buses and tracks where you want to make the dynamics control audible specifically.
- Page 8 DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR The RELEASE parameter determines how long it takes for the compressor to complete the intervention if the input signal level falls below the set intervention threshold level. To change the run speed of the procedure, turn the switch labeled RELEASE counterclockwise to set a slower procedure, or turn it clockwise to set a faster procedure.

Page 9: Channel Link/Unlink
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR Due to the nature of the equipment, the higher the gain reduction value, the higher the compression ratio. To adjust the threshold level, turn the knob labeled THRESHOLD clockwise to set the lower threshold level, or turn the knob counterclockwise to set the higher threshold level. -
Page 10: Power Switch
DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR POWER SWITCH The unit is switched on with the switch marked POWER. Set the switch labeled POWER to the up position if you want to turn on the unit. Set the switch labeled POWER to the down position when not in use. - Page 11 DICTATOR STEREO VARI-μ COMPRESSOR TIPPS AND TRICKS GENTLE MASTER BUS HIP-HOP MASTER MODERN DNB DRUM BUS ! 1 0...
