Mono operation:

  Connect  either  input  and  output 

1

  or 

2

  – 

both will work identically.

Stereo operation:

 Connect both inputs and outputs 

1

 and 

2

 – 

the choice which channel is left and which is right is up to you.

Please note that in stereo operation both channels are always 
processed by one single control voltage generated from a mix 
of both signals. This means you should only compress adequate 
stereo material like sum signals in this mode - dissimilar sig-
nals like a bass drum in one channel and a synth pad in the 
other will not give you the intended ‘dual mono’ results.
