Xmax Rack

The elysia xmax is a dedicated stereo master bus compressor designed from the ground up to be the final word in mix cohesion and punch. This 19-inch rack unit is built on a 100% discrete Class-A platform, ensuring that every nuance of your mix is preserved while providing the glue and dynamic control necessary for a professional, polished sound. The xmax is not about heavy-handed effects; it's about transparency, power, and delivering a finished mix that sounds louder, wider, and more impactful without sacrificing its musical integrity. It is an essential tool for serious mixing and mastering engineers.

The xmax is a dual-band compressor, allowing you to apply different dynamic control to the low and high frequencies of your mix for a more precise and powerful result. This is enhanced by an integrated sidechain EQ, giving you further control over how the compressor reacts. A key feature is the on-board soft clip limiter, a transparent circuit that can increase loudness and tame stray peaks without adding harshness. For stereo image control, the unique VariLink function provides a continuous blend from fully linked to unlinked operation, letting you fine-tune the width and stability of your mix. With stepped controls for perfect recall, the xmax is a mastering-grade tool designed for achieving world-class results.
