Operation of the LA-2A

Input and Output Connections

Input and Output connections are made using standard XLR style connectors. Terminal strips are also provided.

Barrier Strip Connections

If you wish to use the barrier strip instead of the XLR connectors, connect as follows: INPUT: Connect + 600 (1) to HOT and –600 (5) to NEUTRAL.

OUTPUT: Connect + 600 (8) to HOT and –600 (10) to NEUTRAL. Connect Ground (7) to the cable shield.

Peak Reduction Control

Operation of the LA-2A is very straightforward. There are only two controls that one must deal with. The first is the Peak Reduction control. This control should be set so that the compressor exhibits the desired amount of compression. This control should be set independently of the Gain Control.

Gain Control

This control does not affect the compression. The gain control should be set after the desired amount of compression is determined using the Peak Reduction control. Once the Peak Reduction control is set, adjust the Gain Control to achieve the desired output level.
