Solid State Logic SSL SiX CH 500 Series Channel Strip Module
The SSL SiX CH is a mono 500 Series channel strip that combines a SuperAnalogue mic preamp, two-band EQ and a one-knob compressor. It brings the input-channel processing of SSL's SiX console to a single module for recording vocals, instruments and other individual sources.
Mic, line and instrument recording
Use the rear rack microphone input for microphones, or the front-panel TRS input for line-level sources. The Hi-Z switch raises the front input impedance to 1 MΩ for passive guitar and bass pickups. Microphone gain ranges from +6 to +72 dB, with switchable 48V phantom power, polarity inversion and a 75 Hz high-pass filter.
Shape tone and control dynamics
The high and low EQ bands each switch between shelving and bell curves. The channel compressor uses a single threshold control, automatic make-up gain and a 2:1 ratio. EQ and compression can be bypassed independently.
This module requires a compatible powered 500 Series chassis; it is not a standalone desktop preamp. Browse the Solid State Logic collection for related studio equipment.
