SOLID STATE LOGIC MX4 [16/19] Ssl console bus compressor

SSL Console Bus Compressor

The SSL Console Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the

legendary centre section bus compressor found on the XL 9000K Series

console. It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical control

over the dynamic range of audio signals.

Used on a stereo mix or instrument group has the effect of 'gluing' the mix

together and „make it sound like a Record“.

The dynamics of drum overheads or whole drum kits can be controlled very

effectively with the bus compressor .

The Plug-In is available in Stereo only. An additional Version with Stereo side

chain offers creative options to control the compressor module with other

audio signals.

The Bus Compressor can practically be used for any application that requires

superior compression.

Bus Compressor Parameters

Compression Meter

Shows Gain Reduction with a simulated moving

coil meter, that mimics the real ballistics of the

SSL Bus Compressor meter found on thousands of

SSL Consoles around the world.

For experienced SSL Operators this Meter

provides an authentic Gain Reduction feedback

and should allow them to instantly feel at home.

THRESHOLD

Continuously variable from –20dB to +20dB. Sets the

Threshold of the Input level for the compressor module to

start to work.

ATTACK

Six switchable ranges 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 , 10 and 30ms.

Determines the time taken for the Compressor to actually

kick in, once the signal level is above the threshold. Higher

times do let transients (or Attacks) slip through.

RATIO

Three switchable ranges ranges 2:1, 4:1 and 20:1.

Deﬁnes the Ratio of compression or in other words how

steep the compression curve will be, once the Threshold

level is reached.
