Introduction
The COMPEX is a stereo (2 input x 2 output) Analog Dynamic Harmonics Control unit. COMPEX is a pure analog signal
processor which provides adjustment of the audio signal from low quality signal sources.
Audio recordings are often purposely mixed to play on low quality audio devices with small speakers or headphones that
have a reduced frequency range.These recordings are predetermined for playing at low acoustic levels, therefore they have
very limited dymanic range. Secondly the use of low sampling rates in respect to MP3 and other digital audio formats causes
considerable losses of harmonic content and delivers degraded reproduction.
When using these types of recordings as a signal source for speakers with large output power, high dynamic range and an
expectation to propogate sound over long and wide distances, the poor tonal quality, high distortion and limited dynamic
range is highlighted by making the listening experience very unpleasant.
The COMPEX features an optical audio compressor, with level dependent filters for reduction of unpleasant high frequency
distorted signals from bad signal sources and recordings (compressed audio, Mp3, bad CD, laptops etc.). The COMPEX also
features a very high quality harmonics expander, which adds harmonic content to the depleted high freqencies on these
recordings. The amount of harmonics added or changed is set by an individual potentiometer.
COMPEX also features a remote controlled bypass feature, useful for easy switching between high quality signal live audio
(bypassed) and audio signal from recordings.
It is important to understand that when using the COMPEX the results achieved are of personal choice and there are no
presets as each recording will vary. When operating, the user should aim to improve the audio content subtly by removing
distortion and adding harmonic content.
