Elysia xmax

The xmax is a high-end stereo bus processor designed to meet the demands of today's mixing and mastering. Based on a fully Class A architecture and internal Mid/Side processing, it works at the heart of the signal to enhance mix cohesion while surgically opening up the stereo image.

Its signature is based on innovative multiband compression, distributed across the bass, midrange, and side components. This approach allows you to control energy where it truly resides, without compromising musicality or overall dynamics. The result: a more solid, clearer, and perfectly controlled mix.

Sculpted dynamics, never crushed

The xmax's compression engine intelligently segments the signal to process each critical area independently. The variable crossover frequency between the bass and midrange allows you to adapt the processor's behavior to each musical style, while a global release ensures natural and consistent movement between the bands.

The VariLink function simplifies settings by linking dynamic interactions, enabling quick and consistently musical decisions, even in complex sessions.

More level, without compromise

The Soft Clipper, directly inspired by the renowned Alpha compressor, allows you to safely increase perceived level. It protects downstream converters while preserving the transparency and impact of the signal—a major advantage in both mastering and live performance.

Creative tools for maximum impact

Designed for intensive professional use, the xmax incorporates functions dedicated to enhancing your mix:

Punch to boost impact and energy

Lowmo to center the low end and solidify the mono base

Tone, a comprehensive control over sonic color, ideal for quickly adjusting tonal balance

Ergonomics is also a priority: each band has its own dedicated analog display, providing immediate feedback on level, gain reduction, and clipping.

A valuable ally in the studio and on stage

Whether on the master bus, in an analog summing chain, during mastering, or in live performance, the xmax delivers a rare combination of control, musicality, and reliability. It tames the mix, stabilizes transients, and refines dynamics without ever sacrificing clarity or stereo width.

A processor designed as a true nerve center, capable of instantly elevating the quality and coherence of any production.
