Model 5000 is a hybrid compressor designed to deliver punchy dynamics and controllable low-end presence, drawing inspiration from a renowned American compressor and a classic British console compressor. It excels on drums, mix buses, and mastering tasks, allowing users to achieve everything from subtle compression to powerful low-end thrust. This plugin combines the strengths of both compressors into a single unit, providing a unique approach to shaping audio dynamics.

By integrating the compressor ratio, attack, and release characteristics of the British model with an exclusive 'KNOCK' circuit from the American design, Model 5000 offers a distinctive punch and low-end lift that adds significant weight to audio tracks. Users can apply precise sidechain compression to emphasize the low frequencies in a way that enhances the overall impact and clarity of the sound without losing definition.

Additionally, Model 5000 features a 'TransX' input/output transformer option that introduces analog-style saturation and coloration, enriching the sound with a solid-state warmth that intensifies with increased input gain. To support aggressive processing, the plugin includes selectable oversampling up to 8x, improving frequency response and peak detection for a more authentic analog feel. This combination of features makes Model 5000 suitable for users seeking both character and precision in their compression.
