elysia xpressor NEO Stereo Compressor

Since its release in 2010, the xpressor became one of the most modern, sophisticated compressors in the audio world in an absolutely affordable price range and found its way to many studios around the world. elysia re-engineered and refined their famous compressor and the results are stunning. More Depth, more transparency, and more three dimensional processing packed in a new hardware design. The elysia xpressor NEO expands on what the original version is capable of and opens up new sonic dimensions.

elysia reworked the circuit design to give users even more sonic depth to fall in love with. The popular feature sets of the xpressor remain but the NEO’s new stereo width and phantom center bring a new level of audio processing with sonic qualities that are known to be deeply embedded in elysia’s philosophy and therefore all of the designs, driven by the puristic architecture of their flagship compressor, the alpha compressor. xpressor NEO got significantly closer to its DNA and is a powerful tool to let audio enthusiasts and recording artists work sounds the way they envision it.

The new faceplate is less light-reflective and gives users a better look at the values of potentiometers. In their milling process, they’ve relocated the cut edges from the mid of the face plate to its sides. They now appear much more prominent and beautifully reflect the lighting of the users mixing or mastering studios. For sharper and cleaner graphics, the labels and values are laser engraved and they will not wear off during lifetime use. The graphical values for the gain reduction LEDs were changed, the buttons have now a little dent and the knobs have a slightly different finish to grant a better feel.
