Aurora Audio GTC2 - Manual (Page 7)

Bypass = pressed in
VU = selected to gain reduction (pressed in)
Sidechain = selected to ON (pressed in)
Then, with whatever program material you have, gently rotate the Threshold control
clockwise until you see the VU meter just start to indicate gain reduction. Leave the
Threshold control there and adjust the Ratio, Attack and Release controls for the sound
and compression you want. There's lots of scope for experimentation!
As the degree of compression increases and the signal gets smaller, use the gain control
to restore the level back to the OVU region (with the meter set to output level).

ROHS Directives
The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This
Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and
electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead,
cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl
(PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
The restrictions took effect in the E.U from 1 st July 2006.
It is very important that the owner of any piece of equipment that contains even
microscopic amounts of the listed hazardous substances (in relation to the weight of
the unit) realize that the responsibility of its disposal rests with them. The unit
should not just be thrown away at the end of its lifetime, whether that's 10, 20 or 30
years hence.
