The 4K E Plug-in is the definitive software emulation of the 4000E console channel strip, authentically recreating the sound, processing and workflow of one of the most highly regarded and influential music production tools in history.

Released in 1979, the 4000E console played a pivotal role in reshaping the way music was made. Its big, punchy sound, advanced processing tools and ground-breaking flexibility meant it quickly became the tool of choice for the world's top studios. The 4000E console dominated the studio landscape through the ‘80s & '90s and became the sonic signature of the era's most iconic albums and tracks, with many producers and engineers considering the console a major influence on the evolution of ‘modern' production techniques and the sound of contemporary music.

THE SL 4000 E-SERIES CONSOLE

The 4000E played a pivotal role in reshaping the way music was produced, its surgical yet musical EQ, versatile Compressor/Expander, and unique ‘forward’ sonic presentation quickly became a hallmark of iconic albums and tracks. The sound of the SL4000 is so desirable that it continues to be the console of choice for the world’s top mixing engineers including Andy Wallace (Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana), Chris Lorde-Alge (James Brown, Joe Cocker, Green Day), Tom Lorde-Alge (The Rolling Stones, Santana, Steve Winwood), Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, The Killers, The Smashing Pumpkins) and Spike Stent ( Spice Girls, Oasis, Beyonce).

ANALOGUE MODELLING

The 4K E plug-in lives up to the legend of the 4000E, imparting all the vibe and rich non-linear analogue character of the console itself. The plug-in is a precise emulation, with detailed component-level modelling and an intricate capture of the original circuit schematics. Highlights include the hyper-realistic emulation of the Jensen T-115K-E transformer found on early 4000E mic pres, as well as the DBX 202 Gold Can fader VCA offering multiple layers of harmonic saturation throughout the channel strip.

Jensen T-115K-E transformer mic preamp 

Add non-linear harmonics and drive using 4K E’s transformer-balanced preamp. Moving from a Jensen JE-115K-E found on the 4000B console, the Jensen JT-115K-E variant delivers more even-order harmonics at moderate saturation levels, offering a different sonic character to the B-series mic amp.

Brown, Orange and Black knob

The 4000E EQ went through various design iterations, each offering engineers very different characteristics and capabilities when sculpting sounds. The 4K E Plug-in includes them all; the original ’02 Brown’ knob renowned for its grit, the rare passive ‘132 Orange’ knob, and the cleaner ‘242 Black’ knob with its legendary low-end weight.

Channel Compressor

Flexibility is at the heart of SSL channel compression; it’s designed to smooth and enhance almost any signal. Several revisions were made over the course of the console's lifetime but ‘Revision 4’ is the pinnacle design reference, with a soft-knee, FAST/SLOW attack options and logarithmic release curve.

Gate & Expander

SSL gates and expanders are somewhat of an unsung hero in mixing. Powerful, yet undeniably musical – they are highly effective in cleaning up audio at the source. They can also be used to great effect Expander section can be used creatively at the mixing stage.

Modelled DBX 202 ‘gold can’ VCA fader

The DBX 202 ‘gold can’ VCA fader introduces subtle saturation at the output – drive the fader to introduce harmonics and then dial back the output using the output trim control.

HQ mode for enhanced processing and oversampling

Use the High Quality (HQ) mode to turn on intelligent oversampling under the hood – applying the minimum amount of oversampling necessary for a closer approximation of a continuous analogue signal.

Total control from the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer

Mix ‘n’ match SSL channel strip plug-ins and control them all from the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer – your virtual SSL console – including first-class integration with the SSL UF8 and SSL UC1 controllers for hands-on control.

Very Powerful Frother!!
Color: White
I’ve been using a frother daily for my drinks, and this one really impressed me with its power for such a compact size. It blends heavier powders into smooth, clump-free mixtures in seconds. I’m a big fan of the build—the metal whisk gives it a solid feel, and it comes with a stand to keep it neat on the counter instead of being shoved in a drawer. Cleaning is a breeze, just a quick rinse, and the rechargeable battery lasts much longer than I anticipated between charges. Just a little tip: start in a taller cup and don’t fill it all the way to the top, as this thing can create a serious vortex if you’re not careful. Overall, it’s been a super handy little tool, and I’m so glad I bought it.

Mixes my protein shake powder
Color: Blue
My husband and I both drink protein shakes daily. We have vortex mixers that work great, but they are plastic and getting old, and really needed to be replaced. In an effort to reduce microplastics in our lives, I am trying to use less plastic mixing cups. I couldn't find anything small enough (other than regular blenders) with glass and metal parts that would work well for us. During my search on here, several frothers showed up. This one caught my eye because of the amount of sales, quick delivery, and of course, decent pricing. Some of the reviews had me a little skeptical, and time will tell regarding the longevity, but so far I am pleased. My protein powders are on the heavy side, but this little frother really gets the job done. Instead of having to use separate mixing cups (saving me on dishwashing), I just use my morning coffee cup (it's big enough) to mix my protein shake in. My husband just uses a regular glass. Neither of us can believe the power this little thing has. We are getting smooth shakes! Here is what I really like about it: It is powerful and mixes well; the frother is metal and not plastic; it cleans extremely easy; after making several shakes the battery has not died; can be used in glasses, coffee cups, even disposable cups (when we buy donut shop coffee); and I love the little stand which takes up barely any counter space. Less plastic, less clean-up, dependable (so far), and small, making it convenient even for travel. I'm really glad I got this, and hope it will last. One last thing, do not turn it on while cleaning under running water. (Yes, you can laugh.)

Powerful frother with a long rechargeable battery life
Color: Black
After purchasing three of the battery operated frothers. I finally found this amazing frother. It is very powerful so you do have to be careful not to slosh liquid out of your cup when you’re using it. But I have found it helps if you rotate the frother in a stirring motion while you are using it. That really helps keep the liquid from overflowing out of the cup. It has a sleek design and is rechargeable and the charge less about two weeks.I love this one so much. I take it with me when I travel. I actually left my original one at my mother’s house the last time I visited her and have ordered another one for my house. Highly recommend.

Great Power and Creamy Foam
Color: White
This frother is amazing and has really good power. It creates creamy, smooth foam in seconds and works perfectly for iced lattes, cappuccinos, and matcha. I love that it’s rechargeable and lightweight, but still feels strong and high quality. As someone who loves coffee, this has become one of my favorite tools for making café-style drinks at home. Easy to use, easy to clean, and looks beautiful on my coffee station.

Powerful easy to operate but splashes
Color: Black
Excellent frother--Very powerful and easy to turn on/off with one button. The only downside is it requires a deep container in which to froth. The frothing pitcher I had was too small and milk splashes everywhere. There is no lower speed so it works fast. I am using a deep insulated container now for frothing. Otherwise, very quite, easy to operate no pushing down on the top like other frother wands. I love it as long as I can control it to limit the splashing.
