More than an adapter or peak limiter, Campressor-PT is a studio-quality compressor that maximizes sound quality, smoothly handles audio by not simply limiting its peaks, and noticeably increases intelligibility and audible power. It provides everything electronically necessary to easily record professional sound on location. Campressor-PT sports dual balanced channels with phantom power; microphone pre-amps with up to 1,000x gain; rumble filters; adjustable soft-knee compressors with signal overload limiters; and an AUX input inside a light chassis that easily mounts between tripod and camera. A right-angle, shielded cable provides audio output. It uses internal or external batteries. Top quality parts and construction with studio-quality circuitry. Neutrik connectors. Tight tolerance components. Nice switches and 31-detent click-stop rubber knobs. Multi-layer circuitboards. Teflon wiring. Black machined aircraft aluminum chassis. Stainless steel hardware and fittings that don't strip out. Made in USA.

gracefully dampens peaks so you can turn up quiet levels. dramatically improves sound clarity and punch-thru power. audibly thickens thin or whimpy sound, maximizing intelligibility. lets you record it right on location and not have to "fix it in post." adjustable from no effect to full compression.

Question: Why use a compressor at all at the input stage if you can compress later on? Why not just record it with a limiter and/or "normalize" the signal after it is recorded? Valid point. Compression cannot be undone. This is a reason to use gentle settings (like 2:1 or 4:1), which is unlikely to wreck vocal dynamics. However, without compression, recording will have to be at a much lower level and will come in "spiky," meaning the average level will be too low and the peak level too high. After normalizing it will still be spiky. Without compression, it might be necessary to do a vocal take over and over due to the vocalist ripping through the roof or being too soft versus background noise. This is also true of production sound, especially when made on location in run-and-gun or other common, uncontrolled settings.
