{"product_id":"purple-audio-action-fet-compressor-1595-used","title":"Purple Audio Action FET Compressor #1595 (Used)","description":"The \u003cb\u003ePurple Audio Action\u003c\/b\u003e features a constant impedance 600 ohm  input attenuator feeding the input transformer, just like our MC77  units. This makes the input more resistant to overload by hot signals.  After the input transformer, the signal is attenuated by the same gain  reduction FET as in the MC77. The attenuated signal is buffered by our  class A KDJ3 opamp, which feeds the output fader. Lastly, our class AB  KDJ4 output opamp drives our custom hexafilar nickel and steel output  transformer. The total gain (with no attenuation) is 45dB, just like the  MC77. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attack and release times cover a broader range than  the MC77, which can cause distortion... which may or may not be what you  are looking for. Use at extremes with caution. The ratios are the same  as the MC77, and the threshhold moves up as the ratio goes up, just like  the MC77. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the center of the unit is an SMT sidechain and  stereo link amplifier, below that is our SMT compression LED ladder  meter driver. Behind that is the SMT input and output tricolor LED meter  driver. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereo linking is accomplished by cross connecting pins  3 \u0026amp; 6 on the edge connector. On the Purple Sweet Ten, there is a  second output XLR that can be used to link two Actions. The link is  accomplished using a XLR-F to XLR-F cable with pin 2 on one XLR-F  connecting to pin 3 on the other XLR-F and vice versa. Plug in the  cable, flip the front panel switch and you are linked. Non-Purple racks  do not have an easy way to connect pins 3 and 6, and will need  modification to link two Action units. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eTotal Gain: 45dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRatios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (\"All buttons in\")\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAttack time: Continuously Variable from over 800 microseconds to 20 microseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRelease time: Continuously Variable from over 1.1 seconds to 50 milliseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCurrent consumption: 90ma\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Purple Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449563803751,"sku":"34325","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_purple_audio_action_fet_compressor__1595_cat_dd86731b-73f2-4940-b584-fc9819c81d4a.jpg?v=1787089475","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/purple-audio-action-fet-compressor-1595-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
