Finding a place in professional and home studios around the world, elysia’s xpressor is a mainstay of analog compression with some big shoes to fill. Now, elysia has meticulously re-engineered the iconic unit to suit the contemporary musician, introducing welcome tweaks while conserving the core processing that has produced its sought-after sound. Welcome xpressor neo, available in three distinct formats to meet your recording needs without compromising its vaunted output: 19-inch (1U) version, 500-series module, and qube — a desktop chassis for the modern producer. Hallmark engineering, alongside both internal and external updates, culminate in a stereo compressor that ticks all the right boxes, giving you total dynamic control while preserving that pristine xpressor sound.

More than a facelift

Visual differences are slight, but welcome, including vivid LEDs for precise, real-time monitoring of the Gain Reduction Limiter. German-made aluminium housing is both rugged and lightweight, laser-engraved for unmistakable labelling of parameters. Class-A topology and dedicated inputs for both parallel processing and side-chain compression maximize your available converter channels and internal processing power for smooth operation. Each of the threshold, attack, release, ratio, SCF, GRL, gain, and mix control knobs feature 41-stepped potentiometers to dial in exactly what you need.

Deep control, straightforward interface

The xpressor neo retains its classic design, streamlining workflow so you can easily navigate your sound. Variable release curves include logarithmic and linear models, coupled with the classic Warm Mode and the Auto Fast option — an automatic compression algorithm that simultaneously manages broad ranges with high peaks and slow attacks. Negative ratio values are among the sound design features that let you creatively hone your sound, granting flexible, versatile control over your dynamics, no matter the need.
