A processor designed for the modern master bus
The "xmax" follows the line of high-end bus processors designed for mixing and mastering. Its Class A topology and Mid/Side processing allow it to consolidate the mono foundation while sculpting the stereo space with great finesse. It thus becomes the central link in a summing chain, whether on an ITB mix or around a console.For whom, for what?
Whether you are a mix engineer, mastering engineer, or touring sound engineer, the "xmax" provides control and musicality. On a stereo bus, it glues the mix without crushing it; in mastering, it refines dynamics band by band; live, it secures the head of the chain while maintaining punch and clarity and controlling transients.Key features for a fast workflow
The multiband compression section segments the signal into bass, mid, and side components. The adjustable crossover frequency between bass and mid allows optimizing the main energy zone, while a global Release ensures coherent movement between bands. The VariLink function links the behavior of the bands for quick and musical decisions.The Soft Clipper inherits the aesthetic of the "Alpha" compressor: it pushes perceived level without clipping external A/D converters. Separate analog indicators display level, gain reduction, and clipping per band, offering immediate visual feedback. The "Punch" mode enhances rhythmic impact, Lowmo centers the low end in mono, and the "Tone" control acts as a shelving EQ to quickly balance the overall tonality.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Elysia Xmax suitable for mixing and mastering on the stereo bus?
The Class A topology and Mid/Side processing allow consolidating the mono foundation while acting on the stereo field. The compression segments the signal between bass, midrange, and side components.
How does the Lowmo mode work?
The Lowmo mode centers the low end in mono to stabilize the bass foundation of the mix.
Does the Soft Clipper protect external converters?
The Soft Clipper increases perceived level while limiting clipping. Its behavior is inspired by the Alpha compressorâs character. This feature helps to prevent clipping of external A/D converters.
Which controls facilitate adjusting the multiband compression?
An adjustable crossover frequency sets the separation between bass and midrange. The global Release maintains coherence between bands, while VariLink links their behaviors.
What are the dimensions and weight of this processor?
The chassis measures 483 x 44.45 x 232 mm. The specified weight is 1.76 kg.
