CP52A 500 Series Mono Microphone Compressor
The CP52a is a 500 series module with a fully variable, full function compressor. With its minimalist design, the above and below LED's help set the threshold leaving your compression decisions up to your ears instead of your eyes.
Excellent Design
There is a "clip" LED to tell you when your signal is getting too hot. The "fast/slow" switch allows for a quick and easy choice of attack and release settings. The threshold, ratio, and output gain are fully variable. There is also a HPF at 100Hz, a polarity switch, bypass, and 48v on board. The 48v switch is a rather unique feature for a compressor that pairs nicely with in-line preamps such as Alctron's MA-1.
500 Series Modules
The popularity of 500 Series modules has increased greatly over the past 10 years. How wonderful to have various classic gear and put them in one portable rack. With the CP52a, this compact all-in-one module is particularly beneficial for high-density setups such as live recording where you want to capture the natural sound of the instrument while ensuring it does not go into the red. Those equipped with a rack power supplier can use the Omni port to access the preamp and compressor separately using them as two separate modules.
Features:
- Exceptionally wide frequency response from 20hz to 20khz
- The chassis is made from 14-gauge steel to provide extra shielding against stray magnetic and RF

Specifications:
- Four selectable inputs with trim adjustment
- Straight wire distortion-free signal path.
- A compressor in a single wide 500 Series module
- Accustate gain control for low noise
- Full function compressor for dynamic control
- Each processor may be accessed separately
You can't have too many compressors
By: Mark on 23 November 2022For the price, this unit is amazing. Depending on what you are using it on, it can produce some nice results. Certainly not as rough and aggressive as some reviews lead me to believe. The simple controls give enough variation to make it very useable. So far I have got pleasing results on Bass tracks with moderate ratio and threshold settings and on vocals with lighter settings. I even tried it on a mix with a reasonably gentle setting and did not hate it.
