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.

A faithful circuit emulation of the legendary SSL 4000 G console's bus compressor, this iconic dynamics processor delivers undeniable drive and punch that helped make the original 4000 G Series the world's most successful production console. Top engineers have come to rely on this master compressor to "glue together" mixes like nothing else, as well as patching into it for stunningly musical results on drums, pianos, and more.
