We’re sure you’ll be happy to know the xmax can be your perfect partner in the studio, your rehearsal space, live in stage or for sessions on the go. For tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your xmax, you can also visit the elysia YouTube channel. -
Page 3: Controls
Set the crossover frequency between the low and mid band. The range can be set from 40Hz to 470 Hz. Release Control (time) The return phase of all three compressors. It controls the period of time between the input signal falling below the threshold and the xmax’s return to unity gain. - Page 4 Link Links the control voltages of each compressor band . You can go from independent to full link. When in full link, the xmax acts more like a classic stereo VCA compressor. The band with the most energy takes over the control voltage of the other 2 bands.
- Page 5 You can see the amount of peak reduction at the correspond- ing s-clip meter. Level The master output of the xmax. The control offers up to +/- 12 dB of amplification/reduction to set the output level for the following devices.

Page 6: Getting Started
Getting started 1. Start with the tresholds Adjust the low, mid, and side thresholds to set the desired compression levels. Using the link controller, you can choose whether to apply compression to individual bands (multiband compression) or link them together for a stereo VCA-style compressor behavior. 2. -
Page 7: Signal Flow
Signal Flow The xmax processes audio using Mid/Side (M/S) encoding, allowing pre- cise control over dynamics, tone, and stereo imaging. A stereo input (Left/Right) is converted into Mid (M) and Side (S) signals. The Mid signal represents the sum of both channels, containing center- panned elements, while the Side signal captures the difference, deter- mining stereo width. -
Page 8: Compression
Normal No Compression Generator Level (dBu) The xmax features a flexible and musical multiband compression designed to deliver both smooth dynamic control and punchy impact where needed. With two distinct compression curves for all three com- pressors (low, mid and side), it adapts effortlessly to a wide range of ma- terial. -
Page 9: Crossover Frequency
Frequency (Hz) Set the crossover frequency between the low and mid bands of the xmax. This control defines how the frequency spectrum is split, deter- mining which content is processed by the low band and which is passed to the mid band. -
Page 10: Tone
Frequency (Hz) Tone is a high-shelf filter that allows you to boost or cut high frequencies across the full-range signal path of the xmax. Designed for smooth, musical shaping, it provides intuitive control over the brightness or soft- ness of your overall sound and adds a little bit of air to your mix. -
Page 11: Lowmo
Lowmo Lowmo Frequency (Hz) The lowmo feature engages a high-pass filter (12dB/octave) that is applied exclusively to the side (S) band. This filtering occurs before the signal enters the compression stage, ensuring greater precision and con- trol in the stereo image without affecting the mono (low & mid) bands. Typical use cases include enhancing mono compatibility by reducing un- necessary low-frequency energy in the sides, improving mix clarity and spatial definition or tightening up bass response while maintaining a... -
Page 12: Soft Clip Limiter
4,5m Time (s) If the xmax is the last unit in the signal path before the A/D converter, it is only once that the setting of the Soft Clip limiter has to be adapted to the converter. It is best to use a fast, sample-accurate PPM meter to find the right setting, because it is an accurate method of benchmarking the resulting change in level. -

Connectors Audio inputs (XLR and ¼” TRS) Audio outputs (XLR and ¼” TRS) Additional audio outputs (¼” TRS) Mains connector/power switch/fuse holder Voltage selector Made for Stereo operation only: Connect both inputs to either the XLR or the TRS inputs labeled IN L & IN R. The TRS inputs will be prefered by the unit, if you connect to both stereo inputs (TRS and XLR) at the same time. -
