SSL E-Series Dynamics MK2 500 Series Compressor Module

The legendary SSL E-Series channel compressor/limiter and expander/gate packaged for your 500 Series rack with updated brushed aluminum front panel

MFR# 729719X2

Product Description

The SSL E-Series Dynamics 500 series module reproduces the legendary sonic signature of an early 80's classic, the SL 4000 E console channel strip, which was featured on countless 1980s recordings.

The versatile 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.

A true RMS converter is used in the side chain while the gain element is an all-discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit. The compressor contains additional switching options to defeat the over-easy curve and to use a linear release instead of the more usual logarithmic curve. The result is a compressor with three distinct voices, each with its own musical character.

Producers loved the SSL SL 4000 E console for lots of reasons, not least of which is the channel dynamics section. Perfect for maximizing the thump of a kick drum, the richness of a bass, or taming an expressive vocal performance.

Multiple switching options provide the right response for any sound source. The flexible design can switch between overeasy and hard-knee compression curves and switch between logarithmic and linear release curves. This flexibility combined with a classic sound is what made this dynamics processor such a legend.

FEATURES:

  • Based on the channel dynamics sections of the SSL SL 4000 E console
  • Switchable over-easy/hard-knee operation for flexibility
  • Choose between logarithmic and linear release curves to match a wide range of material
  • Four tools in one: compressor, limiter, expander, and gate
  • Sidechain with RMS converter for precise operation
  • Original Class A VCA replication

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
