strips are also provided.

Barrier Strip Connections
If you wish to use the barrier strip instead of the XLR connectors, connect as follows:
INPUT: Connect + 600 (1) to HOT and –600 (5) to NEUTRAL.
OUTPUT: C 600 (8) to HOT and –600 (10) to NEUTRAL.
Connect Ground (7) to the cable shield.
Peak Reduction Control
Operation of the LA-2A is very straightforward. There are only two controls that one must
deal with. The first is the
Peak Reduction
control. This control should be set so that the
compressor exhibits the desired amount of compression. This control should be set
independently of the Gain Control.
Gain Control
This control does not affect the compression. The gain control should be set after the
desired amount of compression is determined using the Peak Reduction control. Once the
Peak Reduction control is set, adjust the Gain Control to achieve the desired output level.
