SSL E-Series Dynamics 500 Series Module Overview
SSL E-Series Dynamics 500 Series Module
Compressor/limiter and Expander/gate from SSL E-series desk in 500 Series format
The E-Series Dynamics Module For API 500 Series Racks Reproduces The Legendary Sonic Signature Of The Fully-flavoured VCA Channel Dynamics Section Of The SL 4000 E Console Channel Strip.
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.
