THE CONTROLS
ATTACK SWITCH :
A three position switch with fast, medium and
slow settings, which controls the time it takes
the TLA-100A to respond to the input signal.
RELEASE SWITCH:
Controls the time it takes the TLA-100A to
return to unity again. A three position switch
with fast, medium and slow settings. The
release time is also effected by the program
material. The slower the release time setting,
the more the program material determines the
release time.
METER SWITCH:
Allows monitoring the output level of the TLA-
100A or the amount of gain reduction taking
place.
BYPASS SWITCH:
This is a three position switch. In the bypass
position, the TLA-100A is removed from the
audio path. In the middle (or in) position, the
TLA-100A is switched into the audio path. In
the left (or link) position, the stereo link signal
is connected to its back panel connector. This
allows stereo or mono operation of two units by
front panel selection.
GAIN:
Sets the voltage gain of the TLA-100A. It
determines the output level, which can be
monitored on the meter.
GAIN REDUCTION:
Sets the amount of gain reduction taking place,
and the operating point where gain reduction
begins. The higher the gain reduction, the
higher the ratio becomes.
POWER:
A.C. power on and off.
BAL/UNBAL SWITCH: A rear panel switch which changes the output
and metering circuit for proper operation into
balanced or unbalanced loads.
