Official description
HL 4000

Rediscover this compressor / gate section based on the dynamics of the mythical SSL4000E and taste the "Color" button opens up new sound dimensions to this section comp / gate / exp.

Enjoy the "bite" of SSL specifically for trimming and freeze the rhythmic elements in your mix. Limit to extremes to pump your battery room by exemple. With the "Color" button, true pride of the brand, you can compress more naturally and keep your voices more air and harmonics in the manner of some Neve compressors. The latter acts as a variable Softknee depending on the level and the drive frequency of the side chain circuit.
