ABOUT THE SSL PLUG-IN RANGE
Channel Strip
The EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is based on the EQ and compressor sections of the XL 9000 K Series console. SSL
were the first mixing console manufacturer to feature dynamics and EQ on every channel on an in-line console with the
SL 4000 B Series in 1977. The plug-in includes separate high and low pass filters, an independent compressor/limiter and
gate/expander, a four band parametric equalizer which is assignable to the dynamics sidechain, variable processing order
as well as input and output gain adjustment and phase inversion.
Stereo Bus Compressor
The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary centre section stereo bus compressor found on the
XL 9000 K Series console. It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of
audio signals.
Uses may include inserting the bus compressor over a stereo mix which has the effect of ‘gluing’ the mix together whilst still
maintaining a big sound. The dynamics of drum overheads or whole drum kits can be controlled very effectively with the bus
compressor. As it is available as either a stereo or mono plug-in the bus compressor can be used for practically any application
that requires superior compression.
