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

Launched in 1979, the 4000E console played a pivotal role in reshaping the way music was made. Its big, punchy sound, advanced processing tools and innovative flexibility have made it quickly become the tool of choice for the world's top studios.

The 4000E console dominated the studio scene during the 80s and 90s and became the signature sound 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 in the sound of contemporary music.

The 4000E console has become a rare sight in studios today. As this analogue icon enters the record production history books, Solid State Logic has expertly modeled the console's legendary sonic character and workflow, capturing its legacy in plug-in form.
