  • Page 2: Personal Injury

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GLA-OC1 GOVERNOR 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.

    ■ If the device has been exposed to rain or other moisture, ■ If the device does not operate normally ■ Do not connect the appliance to a mains socket to which an electrical appliance controlled by an inverter, switching power supply (eg.

  • Page 5 steeper, and the compressor starts operating with a much higher compression ratio. In practice, it's like applying multi-stage dynamic control. The first threshold would set a smaller ratio, softer knee compressor, and the second threshold would set a larger ratio, harder knee compressor.

  • Page 6: Meter Section

    METER SECTION The METER section is different from the usual. Each channel has two gain reduction meters. GR1 shows the first slope gain reduction, while GR2 displays the second slope gain reduction. Additionally, each channel has an output meter. To provide users with a clearer understanding of the compressor's operation, all meters in the section are equipped with a peak hold function.
  • Page 7 THE FIRST SLOPE You can adjust the threshold point of the first slope with the THRESHOLD potentiometer. Remember, the first slope produces a gentle compression curve. Set the threshold parameter clockwise to reach the desired threshold point. You can read the gain reduction value from the GR1 meter. When the LINKED CONTROLS switch is in the upper position, it configures both channels using the controls located in the upper row.
  • Page 8 you can select the frequency of the side-chain filter. Signals below these frequencies will not be included in the control signal for the compressor. Therefore, the compressor will not, or only minimally, react to these frequencies. If you rotate the SC.FILTER switch clockwise, all the way to the lowest position, the compressor will expect the control signal from the external side-chain input.

  • Page 9: Output Level

    TIME CONSTANT, RELEASE 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 speed of the procedure, turn the switch labeled RELEASE counterclockwise to set a slower procedure, or turn it clockwise to set a faster procedure.

    TUBE BOOST By using this function, the gain of the output tube amplifier can be increased, and the device adding more harmonic distortion to the signal. This can makes the resulting sound warmer and more powerful. In the case of the Governor, the TUBE BOOST switch has three positions.
