The world's finest emulations of the certified hit-making channel strip and bus compressor – now available as UAD Native plug-ins

The SSL 4000 Series is famous as the console series employed on more Platinum-selling records than any other. With its wide range of VCA compression characteristics and intuitive EQs — rich with colorful band interdependencies — it's easy to hear why.

Working in close partnership with Solid State Logic, Universal Audio proudly unveils the SSL 4000 Series Classic Console Bundle for Native and UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces — a perfect match of exacting circuit emulations from these certified hit-making machines.

Included in This Bundle

SSL 4000 E Series Channel Strip Collection

The SSL E Series Channel Strip plug-in gives you everything you need to dial in professional, polished tracks with classic SSL sonics. With the inclusion of both the Type E “black knob” and “brown knob” four-band EQ and filters — hallowed in SSL lineage — you can apply refined punch to drums, presence to vocals, and heft to bass. Other features include high and low cut filters, an expander/gate, and compression.

SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection

A faithful circuit emulation of the legendary SSL 4000 G console's bus compressor, this iconic dynamics processor delivers undeniable drive and punch that helped make the original 4000 G Series the world's most successful production console. Top engineers have come to rely on this master compressor to "glue together" mixes like nothing else, as well as patching into it for stunningly musical results on drums, pianos, and more.

    Blown away

    The plugin is what I was looking for to fix my muddy mix. I use this in my mastering bus, vocals, individual instruments. I'm not sure if I need anything else in terms of dynamic control.

    Small upgrade price but well worth it

    I have been without my UA hardware for years and this is definitely one of the plugins I have missed. I am happy to have it again in native version. I’m not crazy about having to pay for the upgrade/crossgrade, but the price was reasonable enough to justify it.

    Does what it says on the tin. Great mix bus compressor, detailed SSL EQ.

    Great bundle, best compressor I've had on the mix bus. EQ is great, simple transparent and with no actual values in numbers makes it easier to just use your ears. Other SSL channel strips seem to allways 'incude' the decimal value as you move the gain about.... What's the point!? Keep it like this UAD!

    Amazing Tools To Have

    The UAD SSL 4000 Series Console Bundle is a must-have for engineers and producers seeking the classic SSL punch, clarity, and analog flavor in the box. The G Bus shines on mix buses, gluing everything together without squashing the transients. Im able to drive the input to give it that analog SSL flavor and its in every session.
