Pre-compression unit

Proper signal level should be applied to the input of the main compressing unit. 
You can either set it at the source of the signal (FIXED IN) or let the device control 
it automatically (AUTO IN).
When the signal level is set at its source, its amplitude could be set to 0.775 V or  
1.55 V (chosen by a switch on the mainboard).
The device can also control the input signal level automatically. To achieve this a 
pre-compressing unit is used. Its attack time is about 4 seconds and release time 
can be set between 120 and 300 sec.  This results in nearly constant signal level 
at the input of the main compressing unit. So the signal level at the input of the  
device could be from 100 mV to 5 V (measured between signal line and ground). 
Caution:   When   signal   with   long   piano   periods   is   applied   the   effect   may   be 
compromised.

Extremely low distortion – 0.04 %

By   using   our   patented   compressing   unit,   our   device   can   reach   unusually   low 
distortion.

LINK Socket

In stereo recordings identical compression ratios in both channels are necessary. 
You can achieve this by linking two L-629's together with LINK sockets.

Input and output peak level indicators

To show the difference between signal levels at input and output two peak level 
indicators are used.
