Solid State Logic | SSL SUPER 9000 | Analog Channel Strip w/ SuperAnalogue & VHD Preamp
The Solid State Logic Super 9000 equips studios large and small with a comprehensive SSL channel strip boasting discrete SuperAnalogue and VHD mic preamps, 4-band G and E series EQ, a 9000/Duality dynamics section, and extensive sidechain functionality. The Super 9000 incorporates the best of SSL technology, culled from the coveted consoles that have dominated the recording industry over the past half-century. Just like on a Duality console, you can choose a pristine, high-headroom SuperAnalogue preamp or a VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) circuit to enrich your signals with colorful harmonics and saturation. Packed in an elegantly arranged 1U chassis, the Super 9000 is a formidable front end that delivers definitive SSL clarity and punch. It ranks among the best-sounding and most versatile do-it-all channel strips producers at Sweetwater Studios have had the pleasure of working with.
