This is a discrete Class-A stereo compressor built in Germany to mastering-grade standards, equally happy gluing a mix bus together with transparent, invisible control or absolutely smashing a drum bus into a punchy, exciting wall of sound. The clever bits are what set it apart: a sidechain filter so the low end stops triggering the compressor, an Auto Fast attack mode that reads transients for you, a Warm switch for analog harmonics, and the GRL (gain reduction limiter) that caps how hard it can clamp down. Fast, clean, characterful and endlessly flexible. A genuine modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Class-A:\u003c\/strong\u003e An all-discrete signal path for an open, punchy, mastering-grade sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Workhorse:\u003c\/strong\u003e One set of controls for both channels, fast to dial in on the bus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSidechain Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stop the low end pumping the compressor on full mixes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Fast Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smart attack that catches transients without choking the life out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dial in pleasing analog harmonic colour on demand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGRL Limiter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set a ceiling on gain reduction so dynamics survive loud sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweetwater's InSync review says calling it just a stereo compressor sells it short, it handles tracking, mixing and mastering, and is \"highly recommended.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/insync\/hands-on-review-elysia-xpressor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead the review at Sweetwater.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elysia Xpressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e discrete Class-A stereo compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1U rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto Fast, Warm mode, Log release, GRL gain-reduction limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSidechain:\u003c\/strong\u003e variable high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatio:\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1.2:1 up to limiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix:\u003c\/strong\u003e wet\/dry parallel control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e balanced XLR in\/out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elysia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49719796236527,"sku":null,"price":14500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_8532.jpg?v=1780999692","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/elysia-xpressor-the-discrete-class-a-stereo-compressor-that-does-it-all","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
