Harrison Audio Comp 500 Series Compressor

Despite being one of the most instrumental figures in audio engineering, Harrison Audio founder Dave Harrison wasn’t a big fan of compressors. You’d be hard-pressed to find anything recorded in the last 50-plus years that didn’t use a compressor, but Dave felt that music should be captured authentically and without embellishments. But the market demanded compressors, and so Harrison eventually entered the compression game — and of course, they were great at it. The Harrison Audio Comp is the latest testament to said greatness: a flexible and highly transparent “secret sauce” that you’ll want on just about everything.

PLENTY OF SONIC PALETTES

Whether you want a subtle compressor that’s just there to balance levels or a sizzling, squashed tone that’s full of character, the Harrison Comp has you covered. Based on the classic “feed-foarward” compressor design, the Comp features a THAT 2180 VCA chip for consistently high-caliber analog performance.

SIMPLE CONTROL LAYOUT

The Comp features a simple, no-fuss four-knob control layout for dialing in a wide array of tones. The usual compressor controls are all here — Threshold, Ratio, Makeup, and Release — and offer a responsive and versatile control experience you can expect from Harrison Audio units. Notably, Attack is missing from this control scheme, but that’s because the Harrison Comp offers an advanced program-dependent Attack that adapts to your source material in real time.

DYNAMIC HARRISON SOUND

The name might be simple, but the Harrison Comp immediately stands out from the pack thanks to its sonic character and simplicity. Check it out today to experience the power of Harrison compression for yourself.
