This is a brand new Golden Age Project COMP54-MK2 PLUS that has been upgraded with three (3) Carnhill Transformers. Condition:
Brand new. Product Details:
The COMP54 Mk2 is a one-channel vintage style Compressor. The new MK2 version has the addition of an insert jack on the rear of the unit. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The line input and output are transformer balanced and the unit also has a third interstage transformer. The class-A circuit used in the COMP54 Mk2is similar to the one in the classic 2254 compressor that was designed in 1969. It quickly became a legend due to it´s totally unique sound character that is warm, smooth, sweet and musical. These characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone. The COMP54 Mk2 uses a diode bridge as the gain control element, a method that is revered for its smooth way of operation. Some of the most sought after vintage compressor designs, like the 2254, 2264, 33609, Siemens™ and EMI™ used the same basic design. The controls in the COMP54 Mk2 are very flexible covering broad ranges of Ratio, Attack and Release times, including two Auto positions. All controls except the Gain make-up one are stepped for easy resetting and stereo matching. There are three selectable sidechain high pass filter frequencies available to handle special situations. The Bypass switch is a true bypass where a relay switches the complete circuitry in or out. The IN/OUT switch makes it possible to switch the compression on and off while retaining the coloring from the transformers and the electronic circuitry. The meter can show output level or gain reduction. It is also possible to link two units for stereo operation. The PLUS version has been upgraded with three Carnhill Transformers. Vintage style electronics. Based on classic diode bridge designs. Transformer balanced I/O ?s. Upgraded to three Carnhill Transformers Prepared for transformer upgrade. Flexible control range for Ratio, Attack and Release. All controls except the Gain make-up one are stepped. Three selectable Sidechain filter frequencies. Separate Bypass and Compression IN/OUT switches. Meter selectable for Output and Gain Reduction. Possibility to Link two units for stereo operation. Separate in- and output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections. Back panel switch for 600 Ohm termination. External power power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuitry and the transformers. Great sound that suits most sound sources and genres. A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.
