The Elysia Xmax Qube is a portable, professional-grade multiband analogue processor featuring Class-A circuitry, advanced Mid/Side processing, multiband compression across low, mid, and side bands, a Soft Clipper for maximising signal without distortion, Smart Global Release Control for seamless compression behaviour, VariLink for flexible band linkage, a high-shelf filter for tonal refinement, and high-end analogue metering, all housed in a compact design tailored for both studio and live applications.
Engineered for Superior Audio Performance
At the heart of the Elysia Xmax Qube lies its Class-A circuitry and Mid/Side processing capabilities, ensuring pristine audio quality without sacrificing the natural dynamics and depth of your mix. The multiband compressor allows precise control over specific frequency ranges, enabling the creation of a focused low-end, punchy mids, and a wide stereo field. Whether crafting a tight bassline, enhancing the presence of vocals, or widening the spatial character of guitars or room mics, the Qube offers unmatched precision and control.
The Soft Clipper, adapted from Elysia’s iconic alpha compressor, ensures that signals remain powerful and clean without digital clipping, even when driven hard. Combined with high-quality analogue metering, which provides detailed insights into signal levels, compression activity, and potential clipping, the Qube offers professionals everything they need to maintain complete command of their audio.
Dynamic and Tonal Control Made Simple
The Elysia Xmax Qube simplifies compression and tone shaping through its Smart Global Release Control, which allows effortless adjustments across all frequency bands. The VariLink function enables users to link bands for tailored dynamic responses, while the Punch setting adds aggressive compression when required. The side band mono-maker creates a solid and centred low end, and the intuitive one-knob shelving EQ ensures quick tonal adjustments. With a variable crossover frequency for low-end control, users can further refine bass frequencies for a tight and balanced sound.
Perfect for Studio and Live Sound
Designed to excel in diverse environments, the Elysia Xmax Qube is ideal for both studio sessions and live performances. Its compact design makes it a portable yet powerful solution for mobile setups, while retaining the same professional-grade sound quality found in the larger 19" rack and 500 Series module versions. Whether mastering an album, mixing a track, or managing the dynamic levels of a live performance, the Qube consistently delivers exceptional results.
Innovative Signal Flow for Ultimate Flexibility
The Qube employs a sophisticated signal path that encodes stereo input into Mid and Side signals, splitting the Mid component into low and mid bands. This unique approach provides three independent compressors in one unit, allowing for precise and dynamic control. After processing, the signal passes through a high-shelf filter, enhancing the upper frequencies, and is decoded back to stereo. The final stage includes the Soft Clipper and output control, ensuring a polished and professional sound that avoids digital distortion while maintaining clarity and impact.
A Compact Powerhouse for Professionals
The Elysia Xmax Qube redefines what is possible in a portable dynamics processor, offering a feature-rich solution with uncompromising audio quality. Its compact form factor, advanced functionality, and unmatched versatility make it an essential tool for audio professionals seeking powerful, precise, and portable dynamic control across a wide range of applications.
