GAIN
INPUT GAIN – sets the amount of audio amplification. Too little gain and the resulting sound will be too quiet; too much and the signal could
become distorted.
PEAK LED – lights 6dB below clipping.
COMPRESS – sets the level of signal (or "Threshold") above which the signal starts to be compressed.
SLOPE – sets the compression ratio applied to signals above threshold.
ATTACK – sets how quickly the compressor responds to peaks above threshold.
RELEASE – sets the time taken for the signal to return to its normal size after compression. In general, the longer the time, the less obvious the
compression.
MAKE UP GAIN – restores the level of the signal after compression.
COMP – switch turns the compressor on. The LED lights when active.
GR HOLD – freezes Gain Reduction at a constant level during gaps in the programme material (ie: prevents the compressor gain rising).
GR Hold ON – switch turns the GR Hold function on. The LED lights when active and changes color to indicate Hold status.
STEREO WIDTH – varies the perceived with of the programme material from Mono, to normal Stereo, to extra Wide.
Stereo Width ON – switch turns the Stereo Width function on. The LED lights when active.
VU METER – 8-Led bargraph shows the output signal level in dB at any given moment.
GR METER – 8-Led bargraph indicates the amount of gain reduction in dB, which is taking place at any given moment.

INPUTS – Balanced line level inputs on
S/C INSERT – unbalanced "Send and Return" jack allows you to patch other pieces of equipment, into the compressor's control circuitry
OUTPUTS – Balanced line level outputs on
+4dBu/-10dBv – switch
selects the operating level of the ¼ jack outputs, either to the professional +4dBu level, or to the -10dBv semi-pro level.
