ProChannel PC76 compression - how to set threshold?

On the PC76, what setting controls the threshold? Do I just use the input and output to get the intended effect?

    Yes, use the input control.  It has a fixed threshold, so increasing the input will mean more of the signal will be affected by the compressor.
     
    The output works as a make-up gain.

    From the PC76 help:
     
    The PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor does not have a dedicated threshold control, but instead has a fixed threshold level and uses the Input control to determine the relative threshold as well as the total amount of gain reduction. To set a specific amount of compression, first turn the Input and Output controls all the way down, adjust the Attack control in order to engage gain reduction, then finally adjust the Input control until the desired amount of gain reduction is achieved.
