Opis
With four operating modes—Dual Mono, Mid-Side, Classic Stereo, and S/C Stereo, a stereo mode with a summed sidechain—and compression coloration options ranging from the gritty texture of the 4K console's "Hit Maker" to the transparency of the X Logic variant, THE BUS+ is an impressively versatile compressor. The addition of internal/external sidechains with a variable high-pass filter, a hidden transient expander, and a mix knob for variable parallel compression makes THE BUS+ a crown for any studio.
Greatness Made Even Better
- Authentic, 100% analog circuit, controlled digitally using stepped front-panel pots
- Four modes of operation—Classic Stereo, Stereo (with summed sidechain), Dual Mono, or Mid-Side
- Huge +27.5 dBu headroom and selectable operating level (0, +10, or -5 dB)
- External sidechain inputs and sends
- Configurable processing order; put the Bus Compressor before or after the D-EQ
- Global bypass, clipping indicators, and manual/automatic sleep modes
Bus Compressor
- LOW THD Mode reduces low-frequency distortion caused by compression
- F/B Mode alters the compression characteristics for a more "relaxed" style of compression
- 4K Mode's single-VCA operation with variable harmonic distortion brings grit and grunge
- Negative ratios allow for creative pumping effects and control of particularly loud signals
- New attack and release time constants including an additional auto setting
- Precision MDAC-controlled make-up gain in coarse (1 dB) or fine (0.5 dB) steps
- Variable sidechain high-pass filter control up to 300 Hz in 10 Hz steps
- Moving-coil gain reduction meters
Dynamic EQ
- Compress/expand modes with three choices of time constants for each band
- 16 selectable frequency points per band
- Adjustable range per band from 0.5 to 15 dB
- HF band can be switched to Bell shape, with selectable frequencies covering high-mids and highs
- Frequency band static make-up gain for LF and HF bands (in Stereo or Summed S/C Stereo) or LF band (in Dual Mono or Mid-Side)
- G-Series mode changes LF filter to be second order with degree of undershoot/overshoot
- Tricolor activity LEDs to indicate D-EQ activity
- Per-band bypass
By combining the infamous SSL Bus Compressor circuit design with 2-band parallel dynamic EQ and recall-friendly stepped controls, THE BUS+ from Solid State Logic ushers in both classic and innovative dynamics processing for anything from single tracks and stems to mixes and masters. Its top-of-the-line analog sonics and immense headroom scream "integrity" while the digitally controlled settings ensure precision, clean switching, and exemption from the unpredictability of traditional analog devices.
