adds gain, or make-up gain to the system. Since levels are

decreased when compression is used, this control can bring

the output signal back up to the same as the input level. To

get you started, we have made a blue dot on each of these

controls that should be used as unity gain starting points.

5- The Atk/Rls Switch selects the attack and release charac-

teristics. The attack determines how quickly compression is

added to the program material. The 7802 sets the release

times for you, with the values increasing with the attack

settings. The audio program material that you are

processing with the compressor will determine the correct,

musical release times as well as where you have set the

attack control.

6- The Bypass switch allows you to remove the unit from

the signal path. When set so that the red LED is

illuminated, the unit will pass signal from the input jacks to

the output jacks with a hardwired connection inside the

unit. The LED will be off to inform you that the 7802 is

working on your signal. The Bypass switch is useful to A/B

the results of your compressor as well as to achieve unity

gain.

7- The Stereo Link Switch will allow your 7802 to be used

as either two mono units or one stereo unit. The green LED

will light when the switch is in the stereo position.

8- The Compression Meter allows you to see the exact

amount of gain that the 7802 is removing from your signal.

The range of the meter is 0dB to -18dB.
