Comparison chart Xpressor 500 vs

Common ground

The xpressor and mpressor are both based on a fully discrete class-A topology which grants a generally

wide, open and transparent sound. Signal and transient projection are excellent, and both compressors

cause absolutely no degradation to signals passing their circuitry.

Both compressors are designed to be the opposite of a one trick pony. Flexibility has been one of the most

important design criteria in terms of well thought out feature sets as well as wide arrays of useful param-

eters instead of narrow sweet spots.

While each of these two processors will precisely control and beautifully enhance any signal sent through

them, they can both rely on individual strengths which echo in unique compression results:

xpressor 500

The xpressor 500 is a true feed back compressor and as

such it behaves quite similar to the alpha compressor:

While it provides full control over every aspect of the

compression process, the compression itself is rather

on the gentle and gluing side.

The xpressor 500 is the perfect buss compressor, oer-

ing two stereo linked channels and the perfect feature

set to handle even the most complex signals: A mix

stage for onboard parallel compression, a sidechain

lter for dealing with the low frequencies, and elysia’s

unique gain reduction limiter for a perfect control on

the complete compression process.

Of course, the xpressor can also be used for process-

ing a single mono signal as well, and its straight for-

ward yet substantial feature set makes it one of the

most exible compressors on the planet.

mpressor 500 The mpressor 500 is a pure feed forward design and as such it delivers tight compression with lots of punch and an edgier sound. It is the perfect compressor for getting the dynamics of all kinds of instruments and voices straight. Like Tom Rowlands (Chemical Brothers) said: “The mpressor is killer on drums!“ The same is true for all kinds of bass, guitar, synth and vocal signals. And even though the mpressor has the heart of a racing car, it also plays the mellow tones well if needed.
