SSL X-Rack 4000 E Series Dynamic
SSL X-Rack 4000 E Series Dynamics Module
The new E Series Dynamics Module for 500 Series racks reproduces the legendary sonic signature of an early 80’s classic, the SL 4000 E console channel strip, which was featured on countless 1980’s recordings. The E Series Dynamics Module features a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate, both of which return faithfully to the circuitry and key components which define the sound of the original SL 611E Series channel strip.
Features:
- Dynamics module for SSL’s X-Rack system or Mynx enclosure
- Comprises a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate with 3 distinct voicings
- Based on the 611E channel strip found in the various incarnations of the legendary SSL 4000 E Series consoles
- Gain element is an all discrete design, Class A VCA replication
- Features an XLR input on the rear panel for sidechaining applications
- Two (or more) Dynamics sections can be linked using the sidechain control signal- whichever section has the most gain reduction will control the other
