Compression on turner plus 3 .

[Splash1]

How do you adjust the compression on the plus 3 .. just ordered one but on all the pictures of them i dont see where to adjust for compression .

You just ordered one?? You mean you just bought a used one. Okay....+3's have compression? Maybe, not really sure. They are certainly amplified but I do not what the amplification scheme is. I've had several of them over the years, GREAT MICS!! Never seen any adjustment other than the amplification volume knob on top so I'd say there is no adjustment for compression. I wouldn't worry about it. They sound great as is. Adjust the volume until the locals tell you you're real loud but not too loud...splattering ect...

Yeah they're awesome mics, there had to be tens of thousands of them around back in the 70's. I don't doubt they have compression. I'd say it's built into the amp circuit and not separate from the overall circuit. Only adjustment is the main knob. Enjoy the mic!

There is no adjusting. It works automatically. It is called Modu-Guard. It allows 100% modulation without over modulation. Also, other than the difference in the +3 having compression (as does the CS-1) and the SSK not, the SSK has a Dynamic cartridge as the +3 has a crystal cartridge .

Correct - there is not an adjustment for the compression.

You can obtain a copy of the instructions here:

Until you decide you want more or less compression!

Last time I heard one of these mics the guy needed a small (maybe .1uf)capacitor in series with the audio lead to roll off some of the lows. That was on a 1975 Realistic Navajo.

The +3 has a CERAMIC mike element.
