Golden Age Project Comp-3a Jr Vintage-style Compressor
- Product Code: ga57161
-
The Golden Age Project Comp-3A Jr is a single-channel, vintage-style compressor designed to deliver compression with musical character for musicians, vocalists, and audio engineers in studios and sound reinforcement setups. Its discrete analog signal path components include resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors, all of which contribute to its overall tone. The XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs are transformer-balanced for optimum audio performance and low noise.
Simple, yet versatile controls ensure efficient operations and effective dynamic leveling. In addition to the gain reduction and gain makeup knobs, there are switches for attack and release time combinations, a high-pass sidechain filter, a hardwire bypass, and power. The 7-segment LED meter can display gain reduction or output level via a dedicated toggle switch. The Comp-3A Jr boasts a quarter-rack width and ships with an external power supply.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Will the ArtPro VLA II work in my home stereo behind a front end source for better sound?
A: The VLAII is a ok compressor, depending on your source instrument. I find it ok on vocal and acoustic guitar.There are much better compressors in the $500-$700 range. But it works and sounds good in general. Depends on your budget.
Q: 2. Will this be able to power the Ursa Mini G2?
A: Yes, this battery adapter supplies 12V.
Q: 3. Can this operate in both a 110 and 220 Volt environment?
A: You would require a compatible step up/step down transformer to be able to use Golden Age Project EQ-81 MKIII outside of North America.
Q: 4. What's the max amp draw of this battery?
A: The Max continuous amperage is 12.2 amp.
Q: 5. Does the SJ4000 have a 'one touch recording' feature? For example, if I am hunting for long periods & want to keep the camera off (to conserve power), is there a feature that allows me to simply press one button to power the camera on & begin recording instantly?
A: No! Unfortunately you need to push and hold the Mode button on the front for about 3 seconds and then wait so in all it takes about 10 seconds before you can push the OK button to begin recording. If you have it connected to an External Power Supply with a 32gig card it will record for 3 and 55mins on fine or the best quality
Q: 6. how small of a pipe diameter will this accommodate?
A: This clamp fits a pipe with an outer diameter of 1.25 inches.
Q: 7. Does this camera have a microphone? I assume it does, but it was not included in search results when I selected the mic input feature and I would like to make sure. This is probably a dumb question, but the main reason I want it is to record sets at music festivals and if it didn't have one that would defeat the whole purpose.
A: it does have a built in mic for video recording, but only works without the waterproof case on
