Harrison 32Cpre+, MR3eq and Comp 500 Series Units — A Mix Real-World Review

mixonline.com

Harrison's foray into the 500 Series with the 32Cpre+, MR3eq, and Comp modules echoes their legendary console quality. The trio delivers excellent sound, with the Comp's program-dependent attack and the MR3eq's versatile EQ shining brightly. While the 32Cpre+ impresses with its tone, some might find the front jack a bit sticky and the metering lacking detail. The lack of adjustable attack on the Comp could deter some users. However, for those seeking a classic console-style chain, these modules offer a powerful, cohesive solution that blends sound and workflow. A worthwhile investment for analog aficionados.
