Description
Highlights
- The best option for processing individual mix elements and sub-groups, as well as producing end to end mixes.
- Allows for complex compression and EQ chains inside the same plugin.
- Up to 16x oversampling.
- Mono and Stereo operation.
- Optimized for low CPU usage.
- Undo & Redo actions.
- GUI scaling (80% up 150%).
- Zero-latency (except for oversampling).
Modules
Each module has been carefully modeled using our Audio Quality Control Process. Sonimus Quality means we only release a product when it’s virtually indistinguishable from high-end analog gear.
- Preamp module: Allows for proper gain staging and gives color to the sound similar to an analog console preamp. By raising the input level, you can produce more aggressive saturation for creative effects. Features: Vintage and Modern Crosstalk, VU meter, FAT and Normal saturation, smooth low and high cuts, and trim/gain control.
- EQ module: Four bands of musical tone-shaping and HP/LP Filters. Provides by two fully parametric bands and two shelving bands (with switch options for semi-parametric) allowing it to be used either musically or surgically.
- Compressor module: Inspired by a classic bus compressor, also provides complementary parameters which provide, mix modern esthetics such as side-chain, high pass filter and a Mix knob for parallel compression inside the same module. This module differs from the original equipment since it is also well-suited for mono tracks in addition to the stereo mix bus.
Testimonials
“An SSL Console is inarguably one of the most highly sought out consoles ever for its tone and flexibility, and this plugin performs and sounds in a way you hoped it would, with its flexible drag and drop method.”
“Satson Channel Strip greatly simplifies my mixing workflow and allows me to focus on what I’m doing. It’s the first plugin I reach for in every session. I mixed the Deepest Red EP “Monsters” using Satson Channel Strip quite extensively.”
“I find that Satson CS is an extraordinarily flexible and powerful plugin that contains three excellent modules. The routing possibilities are endless, having the possibility to load up to 8 modules in series. And of course, I can also use just one form if I wish.”

This is a sensational tool for mixing. It’s something about the design and layout as much as the sound. Really: one can have fun with other plugins (and this too, of course), but the Satson CS is about getting the mix DONE. Totally my desert-island mix tool. Nice work, everyone. Pete.

Great channel strip with more than 3 modulable slots with the needed elements such as preAMp, Comp and Eq, to be positioned as your wish for sounding well. Not Too much CPU load

There’s nothing more irritating than the sound of digital music; after trying all the over-marketed big buffet companies who seem to want nothing more than to rip you off with frivolities, Sonimus solved my problems and gave me the analog feel. Satson CS solves virtually any problem quicker and easier than the 700-something other over-hyped plugins that I regret buying, but also gives a better sound than I could have imagined. If you want to feel worthy of a career in audio: all you need is the Sonimus suite for mixing. Working on a hardware SSL console never made me feel this good. The SSL Native Bus Compressor is still stuck on my master but Satson CS (and other Sonimus plugins) are replacing pretty much everything (for that analog workflow and sound). Cost, sound quality, CPU, GUI, feel… Sonimus wins over everything. The only company on for analog sound AND feel is Acustica, but they’re unusable without a super-computer – even the little freebies. There’s good plugins from Black Rooster, Fuse, NEOLD, PSP, and Soundtoys, but Sonimus is the most consistent and reliable. They put me in a Pink Floyd coma!

A refreshing take among the many SSL strips that have been around for a while. In particular, I like the inclusion of the buss-style compressor. It simply sounds fantastic. The flexibility of routing and the ability to add extra modules – for example, an extra preamp for slightly more gain and drive, is terrific. These added options are just enough to enhance a plugin that nonetheless still allows me to dial in a great sound quickly. Instead of encouraging endless tweaking and fiddling, Satson CS is all about finding a great sound fast.

This is a cool and transparent as hell plugin – I even wish it was a bit dirtier, but for that you add several modules within one and it becomes what you need! Zero latency is also a mighty feature, most plugins have that delay, especially if you play live parts through. Really good investment!

The support was fairly responsive. Usually got a reply back anywhere between half a day to two. There was one point where I waiting for more than a day and wondered what the status was in trouble shooting, but they were working on it. In the initial response, they were asking me questions that I had initially stated in original request, so felt a bit redundant to repeat myself and wondered if they actually read the first request thoroughly. Overall I would say the support was good for trouble shooting. I have sent other questions before about EDU and artist programs and literally got no response at all. It’s all good if they don’t offer those kind of programs, but I would’ve appreciated at least an acknowledgement and response. I don’t really like they’re support system though through only email. I think it would be nice to have a system where the dialogue is on record under my account. Also every email link is broken, and is thus unclickable. Have to manually copy the whole link and copy paste into browser. So because of some issues, I cannot give a perfect score. One thing I can say though, is that their products are excellent and sound excellent.

So far really love it! I am still getting the hang of the feel of this compressor and EQ so it may very well be a 5 STAR rating at a later date. It is true that these Sonimus plugins add a legit analog sound. I have many classic emulations and these are right near the top!
Héctor (verified owner) –
This is my first channel strip. I find it simple to use and good sounding.
Anthony S. (verified owner) –
I think I saw this product advertised on Instagram and was intrigued because I’ve been looking for a good analogue channel strip. I own the McDSP ultimate channel strip but it just doesn’t go with my workflow and some of the modules are a bit too diverse. I also use (and love) the iZotope channel strips, but have been looking for a more analogue style set up. The installation and activation of this plugin was a bit of a nightmare because it wouldn’t exit demo mode even days after I purchased. But the team at Sonimus was responsive and helped me get everything working.
In terms of the plugin itself, the reviews are accurate. It is a simple to use channel strip and sounds great. I ended up making it the default plugin that is loaded when I make a new audio track. The lack of visuals causes you to really use your ears. I’m at a state in my productions where I feel more confident doing that instead of relying on my eyes. I don’t think I would recommend this plugin to a beginner. You really have to know what you’re doing and listening for while using a tool like this. It has the essentials you need; saturation, compression, and EQ. I think this will be my go-to plugin to get my mixes 80%.
Try out the demo if you are curious about how it sounds.

Miguel Angel Sanz Arribas (verified owner) –
In my opinion I finally have one of the best Channel Strip. Modular; automatic resize window; compressor that accomplish its function of bus compressor perfectly; musical EQ to shape my mixes; oversampling and analog preamp which provide analog saturation. What else can I ask for in a single audio plugin? Thank you Sonimus for making these fantastic audio plugins !!!!.

Bought this to replace my Waves SSL bundle and couldn’t be happier. To my ears the Sonimus plugins sound better and they’re more inspiring and quicker to dial in!

Hi guys) I have many channelstrips, including Slate VMR, bx_console SSL 4000 E, bx_console Focusrite SC, Metric Halo CS, HOFA System, but not one of them has the same sensations and analog vibes that arise when using Satson CS. Absolutely sure – this is one of the best CS plugins on the market! Unlike other CS – I use Satson CS a lot on each mix and highly recommend buying. You will not regret! Success and cool mixes :-)

I’m missing some other sonimus stuff inside the channel. This way I often have to reopen and close the plugin window again and again. Workflow is getting slower this way. Add all sonimus stuff to this or an updated channel and we’re talking.

This is a very flexible and comprehensive channel strip that can add analogue colour with its “British” input preamp, an excellent compressor with three side-chain detection modes and a very smooth EQ module. I’ve installed it as the go-to channel strip in my mix template. Really love it!

SSL are classic consoles, and are worthy of emulation, but Sonimus have, as ever, put their own unique identity onto their latest product..
The addition of another Sonimus compressor can only be a good thing, and to pair it with improved versions of Satson and Stone EQ in a flexible, modular unit, covers a lot of positive territory…
I like the improvement to workflow that channel strips provide, and the coherence that various products from the same manufacturer creates.
I don’t know what Sonimus are planning next, but I would love an API, or a Neve inspired modular channel strip….
I’m sure that whatever does come next, will be high quality, and at an affordable price…
Crack on Sonimus !!

I’ve been using this plugin over the course of the last month and it’s already become an integral part of my workflow. Not only does it sound extremely warm and analog, but the fact that you can have multiple modules (and in any configuration) within a single instance of the plugin a massive timesaver and keeps my sessions super clean in my DAW. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this impressed by a new plugin.

I have the Satson CS rack which I use on mixes when I want a bit of “edge”. It has a large amount of useful presets but I would have liked them to have been catalogued by type as well as by their creators. Other than that it’s a great and very versatile tool! John Jackson

Love it and use it a lot. The console module has very smooth filters to round off a sound. EQ very musical with not so much coloring than other SSL clones. Compressor very versatile. Optional oversampling, but still CPU friendly. Resizable and beautiful mousewheel support – I’m a scroller :-)
Wishlist:
– EQ module in mid or side mode
– CTRL+Mousewheel to change values in smaller increments
– A Satson console bus plugin to change the console drive of all instances
– Tuco as a module :-)
