Solid State Logic X-Rack VHD Mic Pre.

The Solid State Logic X-Rack VHD Microphone Preamp is an input module that has a front end combining classic SSL character with Solid State Logic's new Variable Harmonic Drive circuit. You get a time machine of overdrive characteristics.What is VHD?It may look like just another knob, but SSL's VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) preamp is far from a traditional linear gain control - it's more like a time machine of overdrive characteristics.When VHD is used in conjunction with the input gain control, a huge variety of preamp sounds can be created, from gentle warming to serious distortion. At relatively low input gain settings the VHD Pre preamps deliver transparent signals with all of the sonic fidelity you'd expect from SSL. As the input gain setting is increased, more of the signal is passed to the Variable Harmonic Drive circuit, increasing the intensity of the effect from subtle to extreme. By adjusting the VHD control the distortion characteristics can be shifted from '50s valve-style overdrive (if the VHD selection control is turned fully anti-clockwise for 2nd harmonic distortion) to '70s transistor-style grit (if the VHD selection control is turned fully clockwise for 3rd harmonic distortion)… or a blend of the two.As a feature of Duality, XLogic E Signature Channel and XLogic Alpha Channel, VHD is used in studios around the world and is rapidly establishing itself as the 'go-to' tool that allows modern producers to achieve a sound that evokes the sonic heritage of SSL while adding a strong contemporary edge.. ...details

Solid State Logic XLogic Multichannel Compressor.

The XLogic Multichannel Compressor is a 2U rack-mounting six-channel compressor designed to provide extremely flexible control over a 5.1 channel mix, or to be used as two separate compressors when working on stereo material. The compressor design is very similar to that found in the XL 9000 console center section, but with additional controls to provide the flexibility that modern 5.1 productions require. The signal path is balanced and DC coupled through out: this ensures extended bandwidth, low noise and low distortion. This brings the dual benefits of spectacular surround audio performance with a universally acclaimed compressor characteristic. The unit contains two separate compressors. Normally the upper one controls the left, center, right and surround channels and the lower one the LFE channel, but the DUAL STEREO switch reassigns the controls so that the lower set control the surround channels and the upper set control left, center, right and LFE channels.The SIDE CHAIN TRIM controls allow different thresholds to be set for left/right, center, surround and LFE channels. The centet and surround ISO switches bypass the respective compressor channels completely. A six channel Master Fader and Autofade control provide overall level control of the mix.5.1 mixing presents a number of challenges to the engineer that are not present when working in stereo. This is essentially because the signal content can vary hugely between speakers - both in level and frequency content — unlike stereo material where the two channels are normally similar in both level and content. This presents a number of potential problems including:•The LFE channel will almost certainly require different attack and release times and different thresholds from the other channels. •Depending on the material you may or may not want some channels to be compressed. •Conversely you may want some channels to be compressed but not to contribute to the overall compression. •You may want channels to have different thresholds. •With five speakers it is possible have signals panned so that they are the loudest signal in the room but not the loudest signal in any one speaker.The XLogic Multichannel Compressor is designed to give you a flexible but easy to use set of tools to deal with all these potential problems.. ...details

Solid State Logic Xlogic G Series Compressor.

Do you know the secret of how to give your mixes that finished record sound that you've heard on professional recordings for over twenty years? We do — and now so will you. It's the center console stereo bus compressor from the Solid State Logic SL 4000 G Series console, the world's most successful studio production console. Can't afford the $500K price tag? Not to worry, SSL has taken the G Series center compressor, racked it, and added their latest SuperAnalogue design topology, to bring you the XLogic G Series Compressor. The ability to 'patch' into the SL 4000's center compressor, and also control its sidechain from an internal sub-mix, allowed engineers to discover the amazingly unique qualities of this compressor for use on instruments like piano and drums, as well as its classic mix-finalizing capabilities. As a result, the center compressor was considered to be an essential tool by recording professionals, which created demand for a rackmountable unit, and thankfully, SSL responded. The XLogic G Series Compressor is a 1-space rack mounting stereo compressor that utilizes the classic SSL G Series center compressor design elements within a SuperAnalogue design topology. It is the latest version of the same compressor found in the Solid-State Logic SL 4000, and it uses the same classic twin VCA design as its console counterpart. Combined with improved input and output circuitry, this new unit provides spectacular audio performance with universally acclaimed audio compression characteristics that have provided numerous hit mixes for the world's best audio engineers. A key element in the sound of many of these recordings is punch and drive created by the classic G-series center compressor — but we don't have to try to tell you what the G Series Compressor sounds like 'cause you've already heard it. All you need to know is that if you strap one across the stereo bus of your DAW or console, you'll have it too.. ...details

Solid State Logic Xrack 4000E EQ Module.

The X-Rack XR425 4000 E EQ Module reproduces the legendary sonic signature of the SSL 4000 E console channel strip that featured so heavily on countless recordings. This is THE sound your have heard on so many hit records of the last 25 years. In fact, according to Billboard magazine, this EQ has been used on three quarters of all hits since its introduction in 1979. The XR425 module is based on the E Series EQ Module and features both of the EQ characteristics found on the classic 4000 E; the uniquely smooth 'Brown' EQ response characteristics and the sharper 'Black' response curves.The E Series EQ Module features two different EQs found on editions of the console produced between 1979 and 1987. Each EQ has unique response curves and tonal character. They are distinguished by the colors used on the LF knob caps so the two flavors have become known as the 'Brown' and 'Black' EQs. On the E Series EQ Module you can switch between these two different flavors of EQ that have been loved by generations of professional producers. The 'Brown' EQ, featured on the discontinued SSL E-Signature Channel Strip, is now uniquely available on the E Series EQ Module.A little SSL 4000 E Series console history The 4000 E was the first production console to include EQ (see #180297) and dynamics processors on every channel, as well a stereo bus compressor in the console's center-section (see Stereo Bus Compressor Module (#180241). The console quickly took the lead in music production when engineers discovered that the combination of these three features enabled them to create drums track with more punch, and put vocals, guitars, and bass in your face.A little SSL EQ history Prior to 1987, SSL used the color of the Low Frequency EQ knob caps to indicate which type of EQ was fitted. All consoles were custom built and could feature different combinations of equalizing. The following color codes apply: E Series BROWN: The original SSL EQ fitted to all consoles prior to the summer of 1985. Despite the rumors these equalizers only came in one version. The EQ card was called the '02'.E Series ORANGE: The infamous EQP equalizer. This was a variation on the Brown EQ with controls simulating the curves of a valve type EQ. Very few were sold. This card was named the '132'.E Series BLACK: The last version of the standard E series equalizer. It evolved in the early 1980s from discussions with many top engineers, including Sir George Martin, and proved very popular. The EQ card was called the '242'.G Series: With the arrival of the G Series console in 1987 the color coding was abandoned and the classic SSL end cap color scheme used today was adopted. First introduced in 1987 the original G Series EQ introduced Q characteristics which were proportional to gain settings and had a degree of over shoot when boosting and under shoot when cutting.The current generation of SuperAnalogue console EQ (featured on Duality, AW. ...details

Solid State Logic Xrack 4000E Dynamics Module.

The X-Rack XR418 E Series Dynamics Module from Solid State Logic features a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate, both of which return faithfully to the circuitry and key components which define the sound of the original SL 611E Series channel strip from the immortal SSL 4000 E console. A true RMS converter is used in the side chain while the gain element is an all discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit. The audio compressor contains additional switching options to defeat the over-easy curve and to use a linear release instead of the more usual logarithmic curve. The result is a compressor with three distinct voices, each with its own musical character.A little SSL 4000 E Series console history The 4000 E was the first production console to include EQ (see #180297) and dynamics processors on every channel, as well a stereo bus compressor in the console's center-section (see Stereo Bus Compressor Module (#180241).

Solid State Logic X-Rack 4 Input Module.

Solid State Logic's XLogic X-Rack gives project studio owners the ability to do what was once a dream: build an affordable SSL console with the sonic capabilities of their large format consoles — with the same SuperAnalogue circuitry found in the AWS 900+, Duality, K, and J series recording desks. The Solid State Logic XLogic X-Rack 4-Channel Input Module is the perfect alternative to their 8-input module. It provides 4 inputs each with features suited to the tracking process or for combining line level sources into a final mix. Each input features pan and level controls, solo, insert connection, and routing to either the Record or Main Stereo Bus.Line 1 The XRack Line Return module contains four separate input amplifiers, each equipped with individual gain and pan controls, as well as Insert, Solo, and Record/Mix bus switches.Line 2 The level control allows the gain of each input to be varied from —inf to +10dB with an indent at unity gain. A signal-present indicator measures the signal level immediately prior to the Level control. It will light green for signals above the lower threshold of -60dBu, amber for signals between +4eBu and +24dBu, and lights red for signals above +24dBu.Line 3 Signals applied to the input of the module will be permanently available in the Insert Send; the Insert Return can be selected in place of the Line Input by pressing the INS switch. The insert return can also be used to provide an alternative input to these input amplifiers.Line 4 Each input can be individually routed to either the Mix Bus (REC switch released) or the Record Bus (REC switch pressed). The Solo switch feeds signal, post Level, and Pan to the X-Rack Solo Bus. The Pan control will pan between Left and Right channel of the selected bus. Each of the three busses feed the X-Rack Master Module (see #182055), located either in the same X-Rack or remotely if multiple X-Rack units have been linked by the Mix Bus Link connector.

Solid State Logic ALPHA LINK MADI SX.

The XLogic Alpha-Link Audio I/O range is one of the best-kept secrets of pro audio (well, not any more). Offering incredible bang for the buck, the Alpha Link range provides 24 channels of transparent SSL AD/DA conversion at less than half the price of 16 channels of competing professional-level converters. Another important thing to remember is that in order to do great conversion, you have to know how to do great analog—and who knows analog better than SSL?Alpha Link MADI SX features up to 64 channels of digital MADI I/O at 48kHz (or 32 channels at 96kHz), 12 stereo AES/EBU digital I/O, 24 balanced analogue I/O, TDM Expansion Bus and much more, the MADI SX ADA Converter delivers a dependable, versatile, high quality MADI to AES/EBU conversion solution.What is MADI? MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) is a digital audio standard that allows transmission of up to 64 audio channels at 24-bit/48kHz resolution (32 channels at 96kHz) point to point over a single cable; either coaxial with BNC connectors or fiber optic. MADI also allows cable runs up to 100 m (328 ft.), but obviously it's greatest advantage is the number of audio channels it can transmit via a single cable. MADI is most useful when you have MADI-equipped mixers or lots of outboard gear. When combined with the SSL MADIXtreme 64 (see #500933) or MADIXtreme 128 (see #500934) PCIe card, you have a very powerful means of getting audio in and out of your DAW with plenty of room for future expansion. Alpha Link MADI AX or SX? If you have outboard gear or audio interfaces with ADAT lightpipe I/O and would like to take advantage of SSL conversion, the Alpha Link MADI AX is the way to go. However, if you have a lot of professional outboard gear with AES/EBU digital I/O (or plan to), the Alpha Link MADI SX is your solution.A recommended setup for those want to use a mixing console with their DAW, such as the Toft ATB-24A (#580040), would provide a complete AD/DA-analog recording and mixing setup. Another unit that we recommend with this setup would be a D-Sub/TT patchbay such as the Switchcraft 9625 TT Patchbay (#501601) with Planet Waves Modular Snakes (#334007 & 334008) for quick and easy setup.. ...details
