SOUND SKULPTOR CP4500

The CP4500 is a Stereo bus compressor based on the design that was originally used in a legendary British console. Heavily inspired by the famous SSL 4000 G buss compressor, whose VCA circuit is known to add ‘punch’ and ‘glue’ to your mix with ultra-low distortion. Stereo SSL-Style VCA Bus Compressor, adapted to the ‘500’ format of API*. It is famous for adding punch and glue to the mixes.

The CP4500 adds a few features to the original such as an equalizer in the side chain with three high-pass frequencies and a high boost section which enhances the spectral balance of the output. It also adds a Mix knob that allows mixing blending dry and wet signal for parallel compression.
