SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

  

 

OF

 

 

TUBE-TECH COMPRESSOR CL 1B 

 
 

 
 
In the following, you will find suggestions on various applications of the TUBE-TECH compressor  
CL 1B. They are given as a convenient guide to enable you to familiarise yourself with the 
different aspects of using the compressor. We have not mentioned specific settings of gain and 
threshold as they are dependent upon input levels. Instead we have specified how much 
compression in dB, we feel, is needed for the various examples.
