Solid State Logic SiX Channel 500 Series SuperAnalogue Channel Strip with Mic-Pre, EQ, and Single Knob Compressor

Using the same technology as SiX and large-format SSL consoles, SiX CH features a SuperAnalogueTM mic pre, offering a wide gain range and ultra-low noise. It’s clean, fast, and punchy—the perfect preamplifier for any source material. SiX CH EQ is a classic SSL style gentle, broad stroke two-band design with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz and a +/-15 dB gain range. Each band can be independently switched between shelving and bell curves. The bell curves change the centre frequency to operate at 5 kHz and 200 Hz, giving greater versatility from the two controls. A ‘one knob’ channel compressor with features that give powerful and versatile performance from its deceptively simple controls. Using the tried and tested SSL feed-forward circuit design, program-dependent attack time, and automatic make-up gain to maintain signal level. The front-facing TRS line input offers a convenient way to add instruments on the fly or use SiX CH as a feature-packed summing module. 10 kO nominal Line Input impedance can be changed to 1 MO via the Hi-Z switch. The 1MO impedance makes this input suitable for very high impedance sources such as passive guitar pickups without needing an external DI box. SiX Channel Strip (SiX CH) is a single-width 500 Series channel strip using the SuperAnalogueTM channel processing features from SSL’s SiX console including the Mic-pre, low and high frequency EQ, as well as the single knob compressor.
