Golden Age Project COMP-3A 1 Channel Vintage Style CompressorThe COMP 3A is a one channel vintage style Compressor Leveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose.

The COMP-3A is a one channel vintage style Compressor / Leveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.

The circuit used in the COMP-3A is based on a classic design that uses an electro-luminescent panel and a photoelectric cell to control gain. This gives the COMP-3A a unique, program dependent compression characteristics. In addition, the vintage style signal path adds a wonderful and musical character to the sound. The ease of use with only two main controls makes it very simple to achieve the desired sound. These attributes haVE made the original units a favourite of engineers and musicians worldwide.

This classic sound is now available at a very affordable price point with the COMP-3A.

Features:

• Vintage style electronics. No integrated circuits in the signal path.
• Transformer balanced input and output. Can drive almost any load - balanced or unbalanced.
• Selectable output transformer loading resistors by an internal jumper, will affect the high end frequency response.
• Uses a classic T4-style electro-optical attenuator to control gain with program dependent attack and release times.
• Very simple to operate with only two main controls, Gain and Peak Reduction.
• HF control can make the side-chain circuit more sensitive to mid and high frequency content.
• A big meter selectable to show gain reduction or output level at two different reference levels.
• Hardwire bypass switch for easy comparisons.
• XLR and TRS input and output jacks for flexible connections.
Link jack and switch for connecting to another unit for stereo operation.
• All external controls located on the front panel.
• External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers.
• Compact 2RU half rack format. Two units can be mounted with our 19-inch rack kit, the UNITE BIG.
• A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.

Not durable
Color: Black/White, Size: Large
If you have a dog who likes to pop things then this toy isn't it. Within 5 min she had this ball popped. It was made to sound like it was durable for this type of thing but it definitely is not so just be aware. Now if you have a dog who doesn't pop things easy then this would be a good toy

WHAT I LEARNED
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
i AM NOT SURE THAT 4 STARS IS A FAIR SCORE, MY DOG IS AN AGGRESSIVE CHEWER, NEEDLESS TO SAY WITHIN 2 DAYS ALL THE TABS WERE OFF, BUT THERE WERE NUBS LEFT AND SHE CAN USE THAT. HERE IS A WHAT NOT TO DO, BRING IT TO THE DOG PARK, THEY ALL HAVE A BLAST BUT IF YOUR A BULLY/PIT MIX AND DECIDE TO SINK THEIR TEETH INTO IT, IT DOES DEFLAT. LESSONS LEARNED STILL A FUN TOY.

Sturdy ball with pump
Color: Black/White, Size: Medium
Thick material so it won't pop so easy. Comes with a hand pump and 2 ball needles. Tabs for the dog to carry in his mouth. Although my dog bites the whole thing to carry. Savage loves it!
