\nIn crafting the new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection, UA's team of engineers dug deep into the SSL 4000 E hardware, faithfully modelling the original preamp's Jensen input transformers and dbx \u201cgold-can\u201d VCA output section. By capturing the preamp's signature nonlinear amp behaviours you get all of the SSL hallmarks - expansive, punchy, deep, assertive character for all of your sources.<\/p>\n
\nThe SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection plug-in features both the Type E 242 \u201cblack knob\u201d and 001 \u201cbrown knob\u201d four-band EQ and filters. The \u201cbrown\u201d EQ is easy to dial in and musical, while the \u201cblack\u201d is more surgical and clean. Both offer iconic SSL band interactions and amp modelling, adding punch to drums, presence to vocals, and heft to bass.<\/p>\n
\nFrom subtle dynamics control to in-your-face smack, the E Series\u2019 compressor gives guitars presence, makes vocals \u201cpop,\u201d and can add clarity, punch, and depth to your drum bus. PRE-DYN controls let you place the EQ or filters before the dynamics section for tons of different timbres, while the DYN-SC buttons provide frequency-dependent compression using the EQ filters, cut filters, or both.<\/p>\n
\nOf course, the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection isn't just for Apollo owners. UAD-2 owners can use the SSL E Channel Strip on any source, without going outside the box. With the SSL E Channel Strip's complete console channel emulation, plus the included DSP-lite SSL E Channel Strip Legacy plug-in, you can craft your projects with Platinum-selling sound.<\/p>\n
\nHarnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip plug-in gives you the hardware's mic\/line preamp impedance, gain stage \u201csweet spots,\u201d and exact circuit behaviours. Just insert the plug-in into the Apollo's Unison preamp slot to track in real time through a perfect SSL modelled preamp.<\/p>\n
