SSL The Bus+ Multifunction Bus Compressor - overview:
Bus compressor and limiter with numerous additional functions for mixing and sound design
Digitally precision controlled circuitry, 100% analog signal path
Advanced circuitry of the famous SSL G Series bus compressor
SSL saturation function in 9 steps, low THD mode, switchable to softer feedback compression
Parallel compression, M/S mode, 2 stereo modes (normal and SC mono), negative ratios, side chain insert + filter (up to 300Hz in 10Hz steps)
Dynamic 2-band EQ: HF band switchable between bell and shelf, LF band with switchable G-mode (slight resonance at crossover frequency), Attack and Release switchable nominal/fast/auto per band, 16 frequency bands per band (20 - 170Hz; 2 - 17kHz), switchable transient expander
All controls detented, stereo link function
Highest quality components, clean signal routing, extreme level stability up to +27.5dBu
2181 VCAs from THAT - just like in the classic SSL G Comp bus compressor
SSL has the last word
The SSL The Bus+ is a multifunctional compressor and limiter for single signals and sums. Unobtrusive compression or effect limiting, 2 dynamic EQ bands, adjustable overload behavior and a veritable flood of additional functions make The Bus+ the ultimate dynamics tool for all processing steps in studio mixing and mastering. The VCA circuitry from the popular SSL G Comp has been usefully taken further here, allowing the user to compress, de-ess, saturate and EQ simultaneously in just one device. Side chain insert and fiter as well as a generous selection of SSL's unprecedented time constants and ratios including mix controls round out this universal talent.
