Input

  – Determines the level of the input signal entering the 1176, as well as the threshold.  

Higher settings will increase amounts of compression or limiting.

"0" Adjust

 – Screwdriver adjustment accessible through a hole. For property adjustment see page 3.

 Output – 

Determines the level of the output signal leaving the 1176. 

It is used to recover compression lost signal.

 Attack – 

It sets the Attack time from 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds. The attack time 

is fastest when the Attack knob is in fully clockwise position, and it's slowest when it's in its fully 
counterclockwise position. Pulling the knob will activate "stereo link function".   

 Release – 

It sets the Release time from 50 millisecond to 1100 milliseconds. 

The release time is fastest when Release knob is in its fully clockwise position, and is slowest 
when it is in its fully counterclockwise 

SC Filter/Link –

 this button determine three side-chain hi-pass filter frequency (60Hz,90Hz,150Hz) 

and also activate/deactivate Link function by pressing it for 2sec.

Input mode 

– pressing this button you can switch between two input circuits : 

Vintage – transformer balanced input, Modern – IC based input circuit.

Ratio -

 This buttons determines deepness of the compression and limiting. A ratio 4:1 is the smaller 

possible value of compression, while 20:1 is larger value of limiting. 8:1 is the last button when 
compression occur, after that, is only limiting. Pressing all four buttons simultaneously, will activate
 'slam' mode, which is extreme hard form of limiting.
