The heart of the xmax lies in its Class A circuitry with internal mid/side processing, delivering pristine audio quality without compromising the natural integrity of your mix. Multiband compression, divided into bass, mid, and side bands, provides precise control over each frequency range, allowing you to shape your sound with precision.
The Soft Clipper, derived from our legendary Alpha Compressor, boosts the signal without clipping external A/D converters. Its high-end analog meters provide clear feedback on signal levels, compression, and clipping for each band. Whether you're recording, mixing, or mastering in the studio, or finalizing your live sound, the xmax delivers precision, power, and clarity, setting a new standard in multiband M/S compression.
