elysia xmax 500 Series Stereo Master Bus Compressor

500 Series 2-channel Multiband Master Bus Compressor with Soft Clipper and VariLink

Are you searching for a magic bullet to enhance and improve your mixes? elysia’s xmax will get you past the finish line with flying colors. This stereo bus compressor is the perfect tool for adding heft to your mix, smoothing out errant dynamics, and gluing your tracks together. Discerning engineers will appreciate the xmax’s multiband capability, which is bolstered by a variable crossover frequency and a VariLink function. You’ll be captivated by the hard-driving character of the xmax’s soft clip limiter, as well as its mix-invigorating punch setting. The unit includes a bass-tightening mono maker function, an easy-to-use global release control, and a straightforward 1-knob shelving EQ — it also features a mastering-quality signal path and extensive analog metering. Engineers who find it challenging to achieve that "final 10%" in their mixes will be stunned by what the xmax can accomplish.

Mighty multiband capabilities

This stereo bus compressor allows you to process your Low, Mid, and Side bands independently. Moreover, the xmax’s multiband controls work in concert with its X-freq control, which adjusts the crossover frequency between the Low and Mid bands, thereby allowing you to fine-tune your mix’s low end with unparalleled precision. Furthermore, a Link knob controls the xmax’s VariLink function, enabling you to adjust the blend percentage between the three bands.

Powerful mix-enhancing features

With the elysia xmax in your arsenal, you’ll completely transform stale-sounding mixes into punchy, exciting productions. One of its effective features is the S-Clip knob, which engages a soft clip limiter derived from the company’s high-end alpha compressor, enabling you to drive your signal without clipping your converters. If your mix needs more thrust or momentum, the higher-compression-ratio Punch setting is just the ticket. You also get a Lowmo button that tightens your mix’s lowest frequencies by summing them to mono, a smart global release Time knob that makes calibrating the compressor’s behavior a stress-free endeavor, and a 1-knob shelving Tone control to compensate for compression artifacts.
