Solid State Logic 723503X1 Harrison 500 Series Compressor

Classic Harrison Compression in a Compact 500 Series Module
The Solid State Logic Comp Harrison 500 Series Compressor is a versatile dynamics processor built on the classic Harrison feed-forward compression design. Whether you need transparent leveling for vocals and guitars or aggressive saturation for drums and bass, this compressor delivers the iconic warm, rich tone that defined legendary albums of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Designed for precision and flexibility, the Comp module offers the signature Harrison sound in a powerful, compact 500 Series format.

Feed-Forward Compression for Transparent and Character Processing
The Comp 500 Series module features a high-quality feed-forward compression circuit with a THAT 2180 VCA chip, ensuring smooth and musical dynamic control. The attack time is program-dependent, automatically adjusting to the incoming signal for optimal performance, while the release time can be adjusted from fast to slow. These features allow engineers to shape their sound with precision, whether they need subtle compression or full-on dynamic shaping.

From Transparent Leveling to Character Compression
This compressor is designed for a wide range of applications, from subtle, invisible dynamic control to aggressive, colorful compression. With a 1:2 ratio and fast release, it acts as a smooth leveler, perfect for vocals, guitars, and other melodic instruments. Increase the ratio and slow down the release, and the Comp module transforms into a punchy, attitude-driven compressor that adds energy to drum and bass tracks. Its versatility makes it an essential tool for both tracking and mixing.

Legacy of Harrison’s Analog Mastery
Harrison consoles have played a crucial role in shaping the sound of iconic artists such as Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and ABBA. Trusted by legendary engineers like Bruce Swedien and Roger Nichols, Harrison’s analog gear is known for its ability to enhance the natural musicality of any source. The Comp 500 Series module continues this tradition by bringing the renowned Harrison compression style to modern studios in a convenient 500 Series format.

Seamless Integration with 500 Series Racks
Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the Comp module integrates smoothly into any 500 Series chassis. It features intuitive controls, an input-overload LED for precise gain staging, and a makeup gain knob to compensate for volume changes after compression. Whether used as a single unit or part of a larger modular setup, this compressor delivers professional-grade dynamic shaping with the warmth and depth Harrison is known for.
