Input
The 1176LN Input control determines when the compressor receives a signal “loud”
enough to trigger gain reduction as well as total output level. Higher settings will increase
the relative amount of compression.
In order to set the limiter to provide a specific amount of compression, first adjust the
Input and Output controls to a fully counterclockwise (CCW) position. Set the Attack
and Release controls to “5” so that Gain Reduction is enabled. Set the Meter switch to
it’s center position so that the meter reads Gain Reduction (GR). Rotate the Input Level
control CW until the desired amount of gain reduction is achieved.
