The SSL 4000 E console, introduced in 1979, set a new standard in music production with its bold, punchy sound and dynamic range. Renowned for powering countless hit records, this console's distinctive character has become a cornerstone of modern recording. The SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection captures the essence of this legendary hardware, delivering an authentic analog experience that brings vintage warmth and clarity to your digital audio workstation.

Developed in close collaboration with Solid State Logic, this collection offers a detailed emulation of the original SSL 4000 E channel strip, including its famous Jensen transformer-based preamps and classic dbx VCA compressor. Featuring both the Type E 'black knob' and 'brown knob' EQs, users can shape their sound with either a smooth, musical tone or a more precise, surgical touch. The plug-in also provides flexible dynamics control with compressor and gate options, alongside creative routing possibilities to tailor your mix with professional-grade tools used by top industry engineers.

Harnessing Universal Audio's Unison technology on Apollo interfaces, the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection recreates the exact impedance and gain characteristics of the original preamps for authentic real-time tracking. For UAD-2 hardware users, the plug-in delivers full channel strip emulation without external hardware, enabling rich, dynamic mixes that capture the depth and presence of the classic SSL sound. With artist-inspired presets and extensive tonal shaping options, this collection transforms your DAW into a powerful, vintage SSL console.
