Quality compression for engineers who know the difference.
Stereo buss compression, processing single signals, approaching dynamics in creative ways - the xpressor shines in many different applications. And should you take your equipment on the road, you'll certainly enjoy the rigid full aluminum enclosure cutting weight into half.
Features
- Discrete Class-A Topology - As a true elysia specialty, the audio path of the xpressor is completely based on discrete circuitry and does not use any integrated circuits at all.
- Auto Fast - Inspired by its big brothers: the switchable semi automation for a perfect attack on the basis of the value set by the user.
- Log Release - This alternative characteristic of the release curve follows a logarithmic course instead of the standard linear progress and results in a very gentle kind of compression.
- Negative Ratios - The characteristic curve bends and goes back down! Heavy pumping, backward sounds, etc. - perfect for very cool compression effects.
- Parallel Compression - Available directly on the unit: the direct and the compressed signal can be blended in any desired relation by simply turning the mix controller.
- Sidechain Filter - A tunable low cut filter in the sidechain of the xpressor avoids overcompression and pumping when there is a lot of low end energy in the mix.
- External Sidechain - You want to create frequency dependent compression or have it accented by the groove? The external sidechain input makes nearly everything possible!
- Gain Reduction Limiter - This novel limiter is not placed in the audio path as usually, but restricts the control voltage of the compressor instead.
- Warm Mode - The xpressor offers a second switchable sound flavor by altering its frequency spectrum, harmonics and transient response.
- Analog Dynamic LED Meter - The gain reduction meter modulates its LEDs in their brightness in order to show the action of the compressor in an analog way: fast and with smooth transitions.
- Stepped Potentiometers - All potentiometers on the xpressor have 41 steps, which is a great help for recalling your previous sessions fast and precisely.
