SOLID STATE LOGIC BUS+ 19" Processor - Stereo bus compressor and 2-band EQ
RSL BUS+
19" Processor - Stereo Bus Compressor and 2-Band EQ
**The Legend... updated**
If there's one piece of analog processing equipment that's synonymous with SSL, it's the SSL bus compressor. From the very first SSL 4000B console released in 1976 and through the many generations of SSL consoles that have followed, the bus compressor has always been the mainstay of the console's center section.

For most of the world's top engineers and producers, the bus compressor remains the most widely used processing tool to give mixes a richer, fuller sound with the dynamism and energy of SSL's legendary "Glue and punch".

Bus compressor
4 modes of operation - Classic Stereo, Σ S/C Stereo, Dual Mono or Mid-Side
External side-chain inputs and sends
The authentic SSL bus compressor circuit
The LOW THD mode reduces low frequency distortion caused by compression.
F/B mode modifies compression characteristics for a more "relaxed" compression style.
4K mode - single VCA operation with variable harmonic distortion to bring some "grit" and "grunge" to the mix.
Negative ratios - for creative pumping effects and control of particularly loud signals.
New attack and release options, including new "Auto 2" setting.
MIX control for instant parallel compression
Moving coil gain reduction meters
Unlockable transient expander
General
100% analog circuitry, digitally controlled via front panel knobs.
Huge gain reserve of +27.5 dBu
Configurable processing order - Pre D-EQ (default) or post bus compressor.
CH 1 IN and CH 2 IN buttons for global bypass
Configurable operating level - 0 dB (nominal), +10 dB, -5 dB
Sleep and Auto-Sleep modes
MDAC-controlled MAKE-UP gain with two ranges - 1 dB or 0.5 dB in steps.
D-EQ
Powerful 2-band parallel analog dynamic equalizer - the D-EQ
Compression/Expansion modes
3 choices of time constants for each band - Nominal, FAST or AUTO
16 selectable frequency points per band
Adjustable range control per band from 0.5 dB to 15 dB
The HF band can be switched in a bell shape, with selectable frequencies covering the upper mids and highs.
Static boost gain per frequency band for the LF and HF bands (Stereo/ Σ S/C Stereo) or the LF band (Dual Mono/Mid-Side).
G-Series mode modifies the LF filter to be 2nd order with a degree of under/overdrive.
Tricolored activity LEDs to indicate digital EQ activity.
Individually bypassable bands
