Give your mixes the polish they deserve with the elysia xmax qube Series stereo master bus compressor.

With refined analog circuitry and a compact qube chassis, it's built for professionals who demand clarity, control and character—all in one mastering-grade unit.

Multiband Control for Refined Dynamics

The xmax offers independent control over low, mid and side bands, letting engineers sculpt each frequency zone with precision. The X-Freq dial fine-tunes the low end, while the VariLink function blends bands smoothly for cohesive results. Whether you're tightening a kick or smoothing the stereo image, this compressor keeps your dynamics balanced and articulate.

Soft Clip Limiter Adds Punch Without Distortion

Borrowed from the flagship alpha compressor, the xmax's soft clip limiter lets you push levels confidently. The S-Clip control preserves clean output, even at high peaks—perfect for mastering. Add extra energy with the punch setting, which boosts compression ratio to drive drums and mixes with power and presence, all without compromising your signal.

Workflow Tools for Fast, Focused Results

With intuitive features like global release and a 1-knob shelving EQ, the xmax speeds up detailed mix adjustments. The LowMo button sums lows to mono, cleaning up the low end and anchoring your mix. Designed for engineers who value creative flow, this compressor keeps the interface simple without sacrificing precision.

Studio-Grade Sound in a Compact Form

Built into a rugged qube chassis, the xmax is ideal for both rack and desktop use. Its compact footprint houses mastering-grade components, delivering high-fidelity signal paths with rock-solid reliability. Whether you're in a full studio or a mobile setup, the xmax offers pro-level performance in a sleek, portable design.
