Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement Circuit
SSL 4000‑series consoles (often called “4K”) are known for adding a distinctive mojo to sounds and instruments that pass through them. This character comes from multiple stages of harmonic distortion created by components such as compressor VCAs, VCA faders, and transistor mix amps. Using modern components, SSL has distilled the two key elements of the 4K sound into a single circuit.
Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement adds a carefully controlled amount of sweet‑sounding harmonic distortion and a forward yet musical high‑frequency boost, bringing the classic 4K presence engineers and artists have loved for decades.
Next-Gen 32-bit 192 kHz
High-quality audio conversion is essential for artists and engineers alike and the SSL 1 is built around Next-Gen 32-bit 192 kHz Converters. The result? Clearer, more detailed recordings, preserving every nuance of your performance. Capture stunning acoustic performances, record drum machines and synths with more punch and texture. Make your live streams sound like professional broadcasts and mix quicker and easier as sounds are more defined.
