4K-5G

The Stam Audio 4K-5G is the most authentic recreation of the legendary SSL G-Series stereo bus compressor in a 500-series format. At its heart are two hand-built SA-202C VCA cans — fully discrete, identical replicas of the original DBX 202C gold cans found in vintage SSL consoles — making the 4K-5G the only bus compressor in the world to faithfully replicate the inner circuit of the original desk. The unit features Elna Silmic capacitors selected from 16 brands for their superior frequency response, hand-matched transistors, and meticulous calibration with a 24-hour burn-in. Additional features beyond the original include a Modern Mode for flat response to 20kHz, extended attack times (20ms and 50ms), additional release times (0.2ms, 0.9ms, 1.5ms), a 6:1 ratio, dry/wet blend control, and a stereo width control ranging from mono to super stereo. Each unit is handmade and calibrated in Chile with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
