The history of Harrison and compression
In the field of audio engineering, Dave Harrison, the founder of Harrison Audio, stands out as a pioneer in the development of music production technology. Ironically, Dave Harrison himself was initially skeptical of compressors, a sentiment shared by his friend and legendary music producer and engineer Bruce Swedien. Both were convinced that music should be captured authentically, without interference. However, the need to use compressors arose from the demands of the broadcast market, which sought a tool to control dynamics and prevent clipping. To meet this demand, Harrison Audio ventured into the realm of compressors, and the result proved to be extremely effective. Its very transparent 'leveling' capabilities, achieved with just a few dB of gain reduction, quickly made it indispensable in music production, particularly on vocals, guitars, and other instruments with a wide dynamic range. Over time, the tone of this processor became iconic, turning it into a highly sought-after compressor, especially for the vibes it provides when gain reduction is pushed to extreme levels. Dave Harrison's initial skepticism gave birth to a tool that not only met the demands of the broadcast market but also became a must-have in the world of music production. Thanks to the Comp module, the distinctive Harrison sound is now accessible in the 500-series format.
Analog legacy
Harrison consoles have helped create some of the most appreciated and influential music tracks in history. Michael Jackson, ABBA, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Donald Fagen, and many other iconic artists have relied on Harrison production tools to create their multi-platinum albums. The latest range of Harrison 500-series modules leverages the sound and characteristics that engineers like Bruce Swedien, Roger Nichols, and Reinhold Mack have trusted to create music that stands the test of time.
Compressor design
The 500-series Comp module is based on a classic "feed-forward" design, which uses a THAT 2180 VCA chip for exceptional analog performance. The compressor's Attack is program-dependent, adapting to the input signal and offering an optimal attack time based on the source material. The Release time is continuously variable. These parameters can transform the Comp module from a transparent processor into a vibrant compressor full of saturation, adding character and emotion to a wide range of sources.
Harrison's secret ingredient: put it on everything
The Comp module is a very flexible dynamics processor. From transparent compression on guitars and vocals, using a 1:2 ratio and a fast release, applying 2-3 dB of gain reduction, to a vibrant compressor for drums and bass, with a higher compression ratio in combination with a slow release. The 500-series Comp module is a well-made, no-frills compressor. Your secret production ingredient: you will put it on everything.
