The world's finest emulations of the certified hit-making channel strip and bus compressor – now available as UAD Native plug-ins

The SSL 4000 Series is famous as the console series employed on more Platinum-selling records than any other. With its wide range of VCA compression characteristics and intuitive EQs — rich with colorful band interdependencies — it's easy to hear why.

Working in close partnership with Solid State Logic, Universal Audio proudly unveils the SSL 4000 Series Classic Console Bundle for Native and UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces — a perfect match of exacting circuit emulations from these certified hit-making machines.

Included Versions

UAD Native
Runs on your Mac or PC without UA hardware.

Great plugin, now I can use in all my mix tracks

I don't have much DSP on my Apollo Solo and couldn't do a full mix with this guy, now I can.

Great Product

SSL 4000 Series has been a common go-to for me - probably because of the familiarity of the controls. The tone is great, the interface is...logical - the side-chain feature is great. My only gripe - and we know plenty others have the same issue - why the extra $10 for what was a traditionally free Native addition for those who previously owned the plugin? Still, for my use, it was worth it. Great work!

At Last!

Great to see UAD SSL plugins ported to UADx and they sound great. I haven’t been able to use my UAD version for 4 years since moving to an external NVMe drive for MacOS. Unfortunately this release is tainted by the surreptitious charges for existing owners, but glad I can finally use it again.

FINALLY!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for this for sometime. The UAD SSL is the best IMO and is my go to. One thing that I hope improves is the amount of CPU usage. Just like on my Apollo, this is a hog!!

SSL 4000 Bundle

The best go-to channel strip. And the Bus Compressor is a live saver to bring a life and analog feeling to your bus. Excellent !!

old new friend

Already got the dsp version since uad-2 existed. The new native version requires no dsp to run which is user friendly and can bring anywhere to use without a hardware. Now no matter what simple job I do, just open up my notebook & the whole SSL virtual console is here. Worth upgrading & highly recommended.
