An mpressor for Your 500 Series Rack!

The mpressor 500 brings the signal-shaping prowess of elysia’s acclaimed rackmount mpressor to the 500 Series format. Streamlined for the space constraints of a single-wide module, the mpressor 500 is mono and lacks the EQ circuitry of its bigger brother, but as a compressor, it delivers the powerful punch, flexible dynamics shaping, and highly detailed Class A sonics you expect. Its sound and versatility make the mpressor 500 ideal for both recording and mixing, and its special features give it capabilities far beyond most conventional compressors. Like its 19-inch rackmount sibling, the mpressor 500 features negative ratios, extreme time constants, Anti Log release, and elysia’s proprietary gain reduction limiting. Unique to the 500 Series modules is switchable THD Boost harmonic enhancement, which lets you dial in delightfully gritty saturation and signal coloration.

A compressor that encourages experimentation

The elysia mpressor 500 isn’t your usual compressor — take it from Sweetwater. It’s designed to inspire and take your sounds to new sonic heights. The cool Anti Log button lets you add extra thump to your bass with a single switch. An Auto Fast button changes your attack speed to the fastest setting possible for getting great sounds in a flash. Mix the functions of the elysia together, and you can create innovative new uses for this highly musical and tweakable compressor that blur the line between compression and effects and are especially effective for electronic music. The elysia mpressor qube gives you two of these amazing compressors. Experiment and enjoy!

elysia mpressor 500 Compressor Features:

  • 500 Series compressor with 100% Class A circuit topology
  • THD Boost harmonic enhancement for a grittier sonic flavor
  • Auto Fast attack always provides a perfect attack
  • Anti Log circuit generates explicit compression effects such as pumping and breathing
  • Negative Ratios for unique compression effects
  • Gain Reduction Limiter lets you select maximum GR with a knob twist
  • Stepped controls for quick and easy recall
  • Handcrafted in elysia’s factory in Nettetal, Germany

Mpressive!

Ridiculous! I have two and am using them for drumbus duty and for tracking drums, guitars etc. Anything that needs to boom can benefit from having these comps in the signal chain. I like these as much as my distressors for different reasons. This is a swiss army knife compressor. Super useful in any situation. I haven't found anything weaknesses yet.
