SSL (Solid State Logic) introduced a brand new desktop mixing console to the market in the form of the BiG SiX SuperAnalogue mixer, complete with USB interface.
Based on the SSL SiX desktop mixer and incorporating feedback from artists, producers and engineers, the new BiG SiX is a 16 channel mixing console that combines features from SSL’s iconic large format consoles with USB integration, additional processing and advanced routing capabilities.
The SSL BiG SiX is particularly well suited to artists and musicians working in a hybrid recording and mixing environment. Its SuperAnalogue technology is designed to deliver maximum clarity and ultra-low distortion, while a new 16-channel AD/DA USB interface is also incorporated.
Also included is an 'Essential Version' of the SSL G-Comp Bus Compressor, now with the popular ‘Auto’ release feature, channel dynamics processing and a three-band EQ based on the SSL 4000E console.
Meanwhile, BiG SiX's monitoring section features a full source matrix feeding two independent headphone outputs, along with its 18-channel analogue summing at mixdown capability.
Furthermore, BiG SiX comes with fully balanced insert points on all SuperAnalogue inputs, full size 100mm SSL console grade faders, Mix Bus Inject for cascading additional SiX and BiG SiX, dual independent headphone outputs and a host of other features..
"SiX introduced SSL console-grade processing and workflow to a wider range of users, and BiG SiX, with its enhanced feature set and full USB interface integration takes this a stage further, providing all of the essential tools of a hybrid studio. BiG SiX sets a new benchmark in desktop mixer performance and we can’t wait to see how users enhance their productions with it,” said Nigel Beaumont, managing director, SSL.
The SSL BiG SiX is available at Solid State Logic's network of authorised dealers and priced at £1,999, $2,999 and €2,499.00 (excluding VAT). For further information please visit the BiG SiX product page.
