The Waves SSL 4000 Collection was developed under license from Solid State Logic. Includes 3 meticulously modeled plug-ins based on the legendary SSL 4000 Series: the SSL E-Channel, the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, and the SSL G-Equalizer. This set of TDM format plug-ins sounds so close to the original consoles, even experts who work with SSL boards day in and day out can't tell the difference.

SSL G-Master Buss Compressor

Based on the renowned master buss center compressor of the SL 4000 G console, the Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor captures the unique sound of the original's IC input and twin VCA gain-reduction amplifier design.

SSL E-Channel

The SSL E-Channel delivers the incomparable sound of the Solid State Logic 4000-series console's all-discrete design and its Class A, VCA chip. It's a slice of the world's greatest hit-making machine, in your computer.

The equalization section of the SSL E-Channel is based on the renowned Black Knob equalizer, developed in 1983 with legendary producer George Martin. It features a High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, and a 4-band parametric equalizer.

The dynamics section features a soft-knee compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E. Like the original, it can be placed before or after the equalization section, and makeup gain is automatically applied to maintain a steady output level.

SSL G-Equalizer

This 4-band equalizer, modeled on the SSL G Series EQ292, offers greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and a slightly different curve. The SSL G-Equalizer includes a preboost dip and a precut rise, as well as a broader Q for more extreme equalization. That's why many leading engineers use the E Channel's equalization for detailed problem-solving and mixing, and the SSL G-Equalizer to shape and give character to the sound.

Note: Waves products require iLok USB key authorization. Authorizing your bundle to your iLok is a one-time process that can be completed on any computer with an internet connection. It doesn't have to be your audio computer. The iLok authorization process consists of 2 phases: Selecting your products and iLok in your Waves account. Running the Authorizer to complete the process.

Equalization:
Low Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from 20kHz to 3kHz.
High Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from15Hz to 350Hz.
High (HF) Choose from shelf (16.5dB/octave boost or cut) or bell shape (18dB/octave boost or cut with a fixed Q of 2.5). Range is from 1.5kHz to 16kHz.
High Mid (HMF) Range is from 600Hz to 7kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±15dB when Q is set to 0.1 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.5.
Low Mid (LMF) Range is from 200Hz to 2.5kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±15dB when Q is set to 0.5 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.0.
