The world's finest emulations of the certified hit-making channel strip and bus compressor – now available as UAD Native plug-ins
The SSL 4000 Series is famous as the console series employed on more Platinum-selling records than any other. With its wide range of VCA compression characteristics and intuitive EQs — rich with colorful band interdependencies — it's easy to hear why.
Working in close partnership with Solid State Logic, Universal Audio proudly unveils the SSL 4000 Series Classic Console Bundle for Native and UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces — a perfect match of exacting circuit emulations from these certified hit-making machines.

The SSL E Series Channel Strip plug-in gives you everything you need to dial in professional, polished tracks with classic SSL sonics. With the inclusion of both the Type E “black knob” and “brown knob” four-band EQ and filters — hallowed in SSL lineage — you can apply refined punch to drums, presence to vocals, and heft to bass. Other features include high and low cut filters, an expander/gate, and compression.
