{"product_id":"purple-audio-action-fet-compressor-used","title":"Purple Audio Action FET Compressor (Used)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePurple Audio Action\u003c\/b\u003e features a constant impedance 600 ohm  \r\ninput attenuator feeding the input transformer, just like our MC77  \r\nunits. This makes the input more resistant to overload by hot signals.  \r\nAfter the input transformer, the signal is attenuated by the same gain  \r\nreduction FET as in the MC77. The attenuated signal is buffered by our  \r\nclass A KDJ3 opamp, which feeds the output fader. Lastly, our class AB  \r\nKDJ4 output opamp drives our custom hexafilar nickel and steel output  \r\ntransformer. The total gain (with no attenuation) is 45dB, just like the \r\n MC77. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attack and release times cover a broader range than  \r\nthe MC77, which can cause distortion... which may or may not be what you \r\n are looking for. Use at extremes with caution. The ratios are the same  \r\nas the MC77, and the threshhold moves up as the ratio goes up, just like \r\n the MC77. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the center of the unit is an SMT sidechain and  \r\nstereo link amplifier, below that is our SMT compression LED ladder  \r\nmeter driver. Behind that is the SMT input and output tricolor LED meter \r\n driver. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereo linking is accomplished by cross connecting pins \r\n 3 \u0026amp; 6 on the edge connector. On the Purple Sweet Ten, there is a  \r\nsecond output XLR that can be used to link two Actions. The link is  \r\naccomplished using a XLR-F to XLR-F cable with pin 2 on one XLR-F  \r\nconnecting to pin 3 on the other XLR-F and vice versa. Plug in the  \r\ncable, flip the front panel switch and you are linked. Non-Purple racks  \r\ndo not have an easy way to connect pins 3 and 6, and will need  \r\nmodification to link two Action units. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Gain: 45dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (\"All buttons in\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack time: Continuously Variable from over 800 microseconds to 20 microseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease time: Continuously Variable from over 1.1 seconds to 50 milliseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent consumption: 90ma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Purple Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449484800103,"sku":"17265","price":535.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/purple_action_fet_used_pb_d979d921-6988-4cad-8d79-2f9c36d02c18.jpg?v=1787089137","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/purple-audio-action-fet-compressor-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
