Classic SSL Stereo Bus Compression in a 500 Series Module
The Solid State Logic Stereo Bus Compressor Mk3 brings the legendary center-section compression of the 1980s SSL G-Series analog console into the API 500 Series format. Known for its ability to add punch, glue, and cohesion to mixes, this module delivers the same iconic SSL sound that has been a staple in professional studios for decades. Whether used on a mix bus, drum bus, or individual tracks, this compressor enhances dynamics while preserving clarity and balance.

Legendary SSL Sound for Bigger, More Powerful Mixes
The SSL Stereo Bus Compressor is revered for its ability to tighten and energize a mix without sacrificing depth or transparency. By applying subtle yet effective compression, it ensures that individual elements sit cohesively within the mix, enhancing perceived loudness and overall impact. This module provides that sought-after SSL glue effect, making it indispensable for mixing and mastering applications.

Flexible Ratio and Release Settings for Precise Control
The Stereo Bus Compressor Mk3 offers six selectable ratio settings, ranging from a gentle 1.5:1 for smooth dynamic control to a more aggressive 20:1 for hard limiting. The five release settings, including an Auto Release function, allow users to shape transients with precision. These flexible parameters make it easy to dial in the perfect compression settings for any mix, from subtle bus compression to heavier gain reduction for added punch and density.

Transparent Compression with SSL’s Signature Character
Designed to maintain the integrity of a mix, the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor Mk3 provides compression that enhances rather than colors the audio.
