Rocking innovative features and uncompromising sonic quality, the elysia alpha compressor gives you a potent tool for controlling dynamics. With onboard M/S processing, parallel compression, and limiters, as well as sidechain and audio filters, the two-channel alpha compressor is, in fact, so powerful, we'd say it sets new standards for enhancing any kind of audio material, whether you're tracking, mixing, or mastering. When it comes to compression.

Unimagined options for mastering and mixing

There's a often a fine line between dynamics "correction" (however euphonic) and the creative sound shaping offered by full-featured devices that give you more extensive sound-sculpting options. The elysia alpha compressor not only has eat-it-with-a-spoon sonics that rival the very best vintage and modern compressors we've used, but it offers control that goes way beyond just about any compressor that's come through our studios. Its enhanced functions exceed the potential of "mere-mortal" compressors by far and give you unimagined options for mastering and mixing. The alpha compressor achieves perfect processing results across all genres of music and provides the "glue" that is a halmark of radio-ready hits.

Amazing feature set gives you unprecedented sound-sculpting capabilities

Among the alpha compressor's boatload of eminently useable features, is an integrated M/S matrix that lets you process mid and side signals, opening up completely new processing options. You can also choose between feed-forward or feedback compression for each channel individually. The alpha compressor's sidechain filter lets you avoid complex routings in favor of an efficient workflow. A handy Signal Matrix lets direct and processed signals be monitored individually or together. There's much more - we could go on, but suffice to say that there are so many cool, truly useful features onboard the alpha compressor, that it will, without a doubt, become your definitive go-to device for dynamics control.

100% discrete analog circuitry for optimum signal quality

In true elysia fashion, the circuit design of the museq consists of 100% discrete analog technology that delivers outstanding sonic openness and clarity. No ICs here! All the signal processing is handled by single transistors in permanent Class A mode; even the sidechain and power supply use discrete circuits. All components are of the highest caliber available and hand-picked for their sonic excellence. Such rapt attention to quality and detail is standard operating procedure for elysia; they know the results will be optimum signal quality, even at extreme settings.
