The source unit is renowned for its use of 5751 and 6922 dual triode vacuum tubes, delivering smooth, musical compression with luxury-grade analog character.
- 5751 & 6922 dual triode vacuum tube emulation
- Compression (3:1) and Limit (10:1) modes
- Sidechain with 80Hz High Pass filter
- Overdrive mode pushes the Iron Transformers
- Smooth, transparent musical compression
Smooth & Transparent
Smooth and Transparent Natural Musical Compression — settles your track in the mix with the expensive sound of high-end tube gear. E-LUX delivers silky vocal compression that retains the highs, transparent drum glue without pumping artifacts, and effortless bass control with smooth, buttery tone.

Ultra-X Mode
Up to 192kHz models that minimize aliasing and offer a higher frequency response. The incoming audio is oversampled to run the Ultra X models — requiring more CPU for superior quality, closest to the original source. Powered by the NM2 Neural Engine for maximum analog authenticity.
- 192kHz oversampled neural models
- Minimized aliasing for pristine results
- Higher frequency response than standard modes
- NM2 Neural Engine for analog authenticity

"Just loved your new plug-in E-lux !!"
Features & Controls
This control increases the input gain into the compression model and you get compression + non linearities such as saturation of the model.
This control lets you trim the output gain after the compression model in the chain.
When in the on position the compressor becomes a limiter with high ratio, just like the original hardware.
This button when enabled does some gain compensation for the compression applied.
This button enables hard driven captured models where you can hear more music saturation, but never too much.
This enables the models in Sidechain mode, where the low frequency content of the input signal does not affect the compression too much. It's great on a mix, drums or bass.
Premium Benefits
Every feature you need for luxury optical compression
AutoGain
Automatic gain compensation keeps your output consistent as you dial in compression — focus on tone, not volume.
Overdrive Mode
Push the Iron Transformers for musical saturation. Hard driven captured models with just the right amount of grit.
Ultra-X 192kHz
NM2 Neural Engine with 192kHz oversampled models for minimal aliasing and maximum analog authenticity.
Comp & Limit Modes
Compression (3:1) for gentle control or Limit (10:1) for aggressive peak taming — just like the original hardware.
3 Activations
Use on up to 3 machines simultaneously — studio, laptop, and home setup all covered with one license.
Sidechain HP Filter
80Hz High Pass sidechain keeps low-end from triggering compression. Essential for mix bus and drum processing.
