Convenient in-line design
Thanks to its convenient in-line design, Kompressor is a breeze to use. It latches effortlessly onto any XLR-equipped microphone, or you can place it anywhere between your mic and preamplifier or console. Beyond that, Kompressor’s electronics are housed in a durable metal chassis with balanced I/O. Here at Sweetwater, we’ve found this compact in-line compressor to be rugged enough for home, studio, and stage alike.
Studio-quality compression and gain boost
The Triton Audio Kompressor provides a 25dB gain boost, which decreases as you apply more compression. Its one-knob design allows you to adjust the compression level from Less to More, with a vivid LED indicating the amount of gain reduction. The Kompressor can elevate a modest 57-style dynamic mic to a new level of performance, offering agile responsiveness over a wider frequency range and adding a studio-quality sheen to your dynamic, broadcast, and podcasting mics. It can apply subtle compression to lower-output microphones, while higher-output mics can trigger more pronounced effects. Additionally, the Kompressor reduces the impedance load on ribbon microphones, enhancing their transient response and extending their usable range — essential for capturing quiet sources.
Protects your fragile ribbon microphones
Have you ever fried a vintage ribbon mic with phantom power? If not, count yourself lucky — it’s a traumatic experience. Kompressor safeguards against this unfortunate situation. While it employs +48-volt phantom power to power its circuitry, it doesn’t pass phantom power to your microphones. It’s the ideal insurance policy for your fragile ribbon mics.
