SSL SuperAnalogue Sound in a Sleek 500 Series Module

The Solid State Logic SiX CH is an elegant channel strip that packs the larger-than-life sound of SSL Super Analogue technology into a streamlined 500 series module. Equipped with channel processing features found on the universally renowned SSL SiX Console, the SSL SiX Channel offers a stunning preamp, classic SSL-style broad-stroke high and low shelving filters, and a 1-knob channel compressor that is surprisingly versatile. On top of that, the SiX Channel contains all the functionality you would expect from a workhorse channel strip, including 48V phantom power, a fixed highpass filter at 75Hz for eliminating unwanted low-frequency noise, a polarity switch, a front-panel line/instrument input, and a colorful 5-segment LED output signal meter. Upgrade your front end with this powerful, value-packed 500-series channel strip from Solid State Logic.

Pristine SuperAnalogue preamp

Solid State Logic’s SuperAnalogue technology is a mainstay of the company’s large-format Duality and AWS consoles — and for good reason! Engineers we know consider Super Analogue mic pres some the cleanest and punchiest pres available. From delicate acoustic guitars to aggressively played drums, they sound incredible on any source! Plus, a front-panel TRS jack makes it easy to quickly connect your guitars, basses, synths, and any other line-level or instrument-level gear.

EQ and compressor inspired by classic SSL designs

The EQ and compressor sections of the SiX Channel draw inspiration from legendary SSL designs. Based on the classic E series EQ, the SiX Channel’s gentle, broad-stroke 2-band EQ (3.5kHz high shelving/60Hz low shelving) is just the thing for shaping the bottom end and top end of a signal to add thump, increase clarity, tame harshness, and myriad other applications. When switched into bell mode, the frequency centers of the bands change to 5kHz and 200Hz, providing even more tone shaping flexibility. The 1-knob channel compressor is deceptively simple; , you may find that it’s all you need for a tracking compressor. Thoughtfully selected fixed attack, release, and ratio settings hit the sweet spot on many sources, and automatic make-up gain keeps your signal level robust regardless of how hard you’re digging in with the compressor.
