The CLA-3A obviously does not offer a variable attack and release time, and while being relatively quick with an attack time of 1.5ms, does not match the wickedly fast attack of the CLA-76. This is very useful for situations in which too much low end information is affecting the way higher frequencies are being compressed, useful when there is lot of lowend-air in vocal that needn’t be filtered out, but affects when and how hard the compressor attacks. As the control screw is turned counter-clockwise it begins to apply less and less gain reduction to frequencies below 1 kHz. When set to “flat” the compressor applies gain reduction to all frequencies equally. ![]() The high frequency control deserves a little bit of extra attention: It is used to adjust how the compressor responds to certain frequencies. ![]() ![]() It offers a very simple control set: An input level control, a peak reduction control, a switch that lets you choose between limiting and compression, a metering selector switch, a high frequency control, and the added feature of the Waves analog controls which are detailed in the above description of the CLA-76. CLA-3A This is a model of a famous solid state opto compressor, first introduced in the early 1970’s.
