This makes the input more resistant to overload by hot signals. After the input transformer, the signal is attenuated by the same gain reduction FET as in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\">MC77<\/a>. The attenuated signal is buffered by our class A\u00a0KDJ3 opamp, which feeds the output fader. Lastly, our class AB\u00a0KDJ4 output opamp\u00a0drives our custom hexafilar nickel and steel output transformer. The total gain (with no attenuation) is 45dB, just like the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\">MC77<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attack and release<\/strong>\u00a0times cover a broader range than the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\">MC77<\/a>, which can cause distortion\u2026 which may or may not be what you are looking for. Use at extremes with caution. The ratios are the same as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\">MC77<\/a>, and the threshold moves up as the ratio goes up, just like the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\/\">MC77<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stereo linking<\/strong>\u00a0is accomplished by cross connecting pins 3 &amp; 6 on the edge connector. On the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/sweet-ten-rack\">Purple Sweet Ten Rack<\/a>, there is a second output 1\/4\u2033 that can be used to link two Actions. The link is accomplished using a TRS to TRS cable with tip on one TRS connecting to RING on the other TRS and vice versa. Plug in the cable, flip the front panel switches and you are linked. Non-Purple racks do not have an easy way to connect pins 3 and 6, and will need modification to link two Action units.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features &amp; Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Input attenuator feeding input transformer<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Output level\u00a0control<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Input and output tricolor LED metering<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Eight LED GR metering<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Five ratios\u00a0including \u201cAll buttons in\u201d mode<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Attack and Release controls<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 True Relay Bypass<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Stereo Linking<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Compression on\/off switch<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Discrete signal path<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Over Current Resettable Fused<\/p>\n<p>(prevents module issues from affecting your\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/sweet-ten-rack\">Purple Audio Sweet Ten Rack<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 ROHS \u2013 Lead Free<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Total Gain: 45dBu<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ratios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, \u221e:1 (All buttons in)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Attack time: Variable\u00a0from 800 to 20 microseconds<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Release time: Variable\u00a0from 1.1 seconds to 50 mls<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Input impedance: 600 ohms<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Output impedance: 600 ohms<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Current consumption: 90ma<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A FET compressor reminiscent of the MC77.
