Key Features
The SSL HF Compressor is an analog modelling compressor offering tape-like roll-off, smooth compression and maximum transparency. Tame harsh and brittle high frequencies, creating smooth and refined mixes and masters quickly and easily.
Utilise unique X-over processing to fine-tune the frequencies that the compressor affects, dial it in with threshold and mix it with the original signal with ease before using autogain to rejuvenate the rounded high-frequencies. With this workflow, HF Compressor can tame any source material without losing details or presence.
You can use the HF Compressor for a wide range of cases. Create a silky top-end on your lead and backing vocals, tame brittle distortion on guitars, and add analog warmth to an entire mix.

The unique DSP circuitry offered by the HF Compressor only compresses high-frequencies, and in doing so introduces a 'tape-like' top-end roll-off that tames undesirable brittleness or harshness that can build up in a mix or track. To present simplicity and ease of use, some of the common compressor parameters such as attack, release, and ratio have all been fixed in the design, and are optimised for the clearest transparency.
The tri-colour LED provides an intuitive and quick indication of how much compression is happening. The main graph shows the input signal and compression over time, so you can get all the information you need at-a-glance when dialling in your parameters.
By introducing an automatic makeup gain to specifically the compressed frequencies you can introduce more of the compressed signal. You'll hear more of the compressor's envelope, taming harshness while maintaining high-end transients that sounds great with highly transient signals such as drums.
