The SSL 4000 B Series Channel Strip circuitry is legendary and known for its iconic 80's sound. With the B-Series Dynamics Module, you can achieve that same aggressive and characterful sound with its unique sonic signature. The compressor/limiter features stepped compression ratios of 2:1, 4:1, 10:1, and a fixed 10:1 'ds' mode with an additional sidechain filter. The 'ds' mode has a fast attack and release time, making it perfect for punchy and dynamic sounds.
The B-Series Dynamics Module also includes an automatic make-up gain with a THRESHOLD control, ensuring that your levels remain consistent. The gate/expander can act as a 20:1 gate or a 2:1 expander with the EXP button pressed. Additionally, the OUT setting can take the gate/expander out of the circuit independently of the compressor.
For stereo signals, the LINK sidechain prevents image shifts, ensuring that your stereo image remains intact. The circuitry of the B-Series Dynamics Module is based on the original design of the SSL 4000-B Series Channel Strip, giving you that classic sound that so many have come to love.
Overall, the B-Series Dynamics Module is perfect for those looking for a characterful and aggressive compressor with a unique sonic signature. Its fixed stepped compression ratios and 'ds' mode, along with the gate/expander and LINK sidechain, make it a versatile tool for any engineer or producer looking to add that classic 80's sound to their mix.
