High Frequency Saturation (Warmth) - low pass filter which softens high frequencies when they "pile up" on a source. Transformer & Tape Head Emulation - a simulation of the effect of input and output transformers of older devices, which adds the...

Empirical Labs EL8X-S Distressor - stereo pair with British mode and Image Link. Contains 2 separate mono channel distressors, which may be linked. Classic knee compressor, tube saturation, opto simulation, XLR (balanced) and 1/4" jack (unbalanced) I/O, includes updated British mode switch. One of the most versatile compressor units on the market.

Now the new 5021 features hard and soft knee modes, four attack and release times, an improved optical gate design and an optional digital output. Like the C-1 compressor, the 5021 uses our own special transconductance amplifier design that avoids the use of VCAs - ensuring maximum audio transparency. So whether you're hitting the end stops or just providing gentle dynamic control, the 5021 delivers super-smooth results every time!

Classic knee sound - Delivered with modern noise specs in an indestructible, digitally-controlled, single-height box. Really grabs. Programmable analog distortion/warmth - Helpful in the pristine but unforgiving digital world. Three audio modes provide user programmable, warm harmonic distortion. Emphasized tube-like 2nd harmonic in clean and Distort 2 mode. In Distort 3 mode the distortion becomes dominated by 3rd harmonic (similar to tape). Distortion indicator lights - A 1% LED and a "Redline...

The EL-Q Lil FrEQ. Instead of daisy chaining EQ's and frequency processors, we tried to cram most of what an Engineer needs into one single-height box, while offering the highest performance of any design we know of. The EQ Sections HP – The High Pass section is a sharp filter that cuts all content below one of eight pre-selected frequencies. We call this particular filter a “colored” filter since it is very steep and has a special shape that prevents thinning out frequencies just above the “cutoff...

Owners of Adats, MDM's, RAM and modern hard disk recorders can finally put a stop to complaints about the "coldness" and "brittle edge" of their mixes and instruments with the "rounded" and "musically non linear elements" of vintage analog. Audiophiles can bring back the warmth and cuddly sound of LP's and tapes to their CD players, and other digital reproduction mediums. Four compression modes - One for tracking, one general purpose, one "bus" compressor, and SPANK. All Linkable! Classic knee...
