Description

Elevate your studio setup with the Solid State Logic LMC+ 500-Series Compressor Module, a modern reimagining of the iconic SSL Listen Mic Compressor from the legendary SSL 4000E console. Originally designed to prevent feedback from studio communication mics, this compressor quickly became a secret weapon for adding character to drum mixes and ambient microphones. Now, it finds a new life in the 500-Series format, bringing you that same sonic magic with a suite of contemporary enhancements.

The LMC+ Module includes an intuitive wet/dry mix control, allowing for precise blending of the processed and unprocessed signals. Take your creative possibilities even further with SSL's signature highpass and lowpass filters, which let you sculpt your sound with remarkable accuracy. The "filters to compressor sidechain" option offers even more flexibility, enabling you to target specific frequency ranges for compression.

New features like the Scoop button, which phase-inverts the wet signal, and the Split button, activating a unique bandpass-subtraction mode, provide innovative ways to shape your sound. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or a budding producer, the LMC+ is a versatile tool that will add depth and dimension to your audio arsenal.
