1.Connect your COMP16 using one input jack (TS, TRS, or XLR) and one or more of the output jacks(TS, TRS, or XLR).

2.Select your preset. (Refer to the preset descriptions above. Remember that the Ratio, Attack and Release knobs are only active in Manual mode.)

3.Do not push the bypass button in.

4.Turn the Input knob all the way to -20 (counter-clockwise).

5.Set the Output knob on 0.

6.Slowly turn the Input knob up (clockwise) until the Gain Reduction meters begin to move. Continue to rotate the Input knob until the Gain Reduction meters read between -5 and -7.

7.Adjust the Output knob to the desired output level.

You should now have a very natural sounding compressed signal. Of course you should experiment with the settings to suit your taste.
