Built around a classic VCA architecture, it delivers the precise dynamic control and signature punch that has defined professional mixing for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Ultimate Mix Glue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe primary function of this module is to weld individual tracks together into a cohesive, professional record. The VCA topology reacts strictly to transients, taming dynamics without crushing the natural attack of the instruments. Whether you are heavily compressing a drum bus or transparently leveling the master bus, it provides the essential \"glue\" that prevents a mix from falling apart at higher listening volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAdvanced Sidechain Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eModern low-end heavy genres often suffer from broadband pumping when processed through traditional compressors. This module solves that by introducing a six-position High-Pass Filter (HPF) into the sidechain circuit. Heavy sub-bass and kick frequencies pass through undetected by the threshold, allowing for aggressive compression of the midrange and transients without destroying the low-end foundation. Combined with the added 1.5:1 ratio, it offers unparalleled control for delicate mastering applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthentic stereo bus compression characteristics from the SSL G-Series console.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSelectable sidechain High-Pass Filter (OFF, 30, 60, 105, 125, 185 Hz).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpanded Ratio settings for versatile dynamic control (1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1, 20:1).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePremium VCA design ensuring rapid attack times and minimal harmonic distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 500 Series module (requires 2 chassis slots).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttack settings: 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 ms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRelease settings: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 seconds, and program-dependent Auto mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: Supplied via standard API 500 Series rack\/enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Solid State Logic (SSL)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53477966512465,"sku":"41317","price":931.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SSL500-SeriesBusCompressor.jpg?v=1775812115","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/products\/ssl-500-series-bus-compressor","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
