Product Description
The E-Series Dynamics Module brings the iconic SSL 4000E console channel strip into the 500 Series format, delivering the legendary sonic character that defined countless 1980s recordings. Designed for engineers and producers seeking the authentic sound of classic analogue circuitry, this module faithfully reproduces the compressor/limiter and expander/gate sections of the original 611E channel strip. With a true RMS side chain and an all-discrete Class A VCA design, the E-Series Dynamics Module offers three distinct compressor voices, each with a unique musical character. Additional switching options allow users to bypass the over-easy curve and engage a linear release, providing versatile control over dynamics and tone. Compact yet powerful, it integrates seamlessly into modern 500 Series racks, giving your mixes the warmth, punch, and clarity that have made SSL a benchmark in professional audio for decades.
Features
- Immortal SSL 4000 Series circuitry:
Faithfully replicates the original analogue design, delivering the same tonal characteristics that defined classic SSL recordings. - Class A VCA replication:
All-discrete gain element mirrors the original Class A VCA, providing authentic compression with musical responsiveness and clarity. - Expander/Gate:
Accurate reproduction of the classic expander/gate section allows precise dynamic control for both subtle and dramatic effects.
Authentic Analogue Sound:
The E-Series Dynamics Module captures the warmth and musicality of the SL 4000E channel strip. Its true RMS side chain ensures smooth, natural compression while retaining the original character. Each compressor mode offers a distinct tonal flavour, allowing engineers to craft dynamics with precision, whether for individual instruments, vocals, or full mixes. The module's discrete Class A circuitry and faithful component choices guarantee an authentic analogue experience within a modern 500 Series rack.
Flexible Dynamics Control:
Designed for ultimate versatility, the module features both compressor/limiter and expander/gate sections. Switching options include bypassing the over-easy curve and selecting a linear release, giving users multiple approaches to shaping audio dynamics. This flexibility makes the E-Series suitable for a wide range of musical styles and production scenarios, from subtle studio enhancements to aggressive dynamic shaping, all while maintaining the signature SSL tonal quality.
Compact Integration:
Housed in a 500 Series format, the E-Series Dynamics Module fits effortlessly into modern racks without compromising on performance. Its compact design allows multiple modules to be combined for full channel strip capabilities, providing a complete analogue workflow in a space-efficient form.
