Become an audio production connoisseur with the Golden Age Project Comp-54 MK2 Vintage Style Compressor, a professional-grade, single-channel unit that brings the warmth and musicality of classic analog sound to your studio. With a signal path that exclusively utilizes discrete components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors, this compressor offers an authentic vintage-style experience.

The Comp-54 MK2 is meticulously designed with transformer-balanced line input and output, along with an additional interstage transformer, ensuring a pristine audio path that is both durable and reliable. The high-quality, class-A circuitry is reminiscent of the iconic 2254 compressor, renowned for its distinctive warm, smooth, and sweet sound that has graced countless recordings across various genres.

This compressor's diode bridge gain control element is celebrated for its exceptionally smooth operation, a characteristic shared with legendary vintage designs like the 2254, 2264, 33609, Siemens, and EMI compressors.

For specialized tasks, the Comp-54 MK2 offers three selectable sidechain high-pass filter frequencies, providing additional control over your audio. The true bypass switch engages a relay to completely bypass the circuitry, while the IN/OUT switch allows you to toggle the compression effect without losing the character imparted by the transformers and electronic circuitry.

The intuitive metering can display either output level or gain reduction, giving you clear visual feedback on your compression settings. For those looking to achieve a cohesive stereo image, the Comp-54 MK2 can be linked with a second unit for seamless stereo operation.

Embrace the reliable and high-quality performance of the Golden Age Project Comp-54 MK2, and infuse your recordings with the sought-after vintage sound that is both versatile and enchantingly musical.
