SiX Channel

The Solid State Logic SiX Channel is a complete, professional-grade channel strip in a single 500 Series module, bringing the full sonic power of the acclaimed SiX compact console to your lunchbox rack. This incredibly versatile module provides a comprehensive signal path for tracking and mixing, featuring a SuperAnalogue microphone preamp, a classic SSL EQ, and a one-knob compressor. It's a perfect front-end for recording vocals and instruments, delivering the pristine audio quality and punchy character that SSL is famous for in a compact and affordable format.

The signal path starts with SSL's transparent and ultra-low noise SuperAnalogue mic preamp, which provides a clean and open sound with a wide gain range, capable of handling both microphone and line-level signals. Following the preamp is a classic two-band SSL EQ. This is a musical, broad-stroke equalizer with high and low shelving bands, each offering a choice between two distinct corner frequencies. This simple but effective design makes it easy to add body, air, or presence to any source without overcomplicating the process. The EQ can also be switched to a more aggressive bell curve for more focused adjustments.

One of the most powerful features of the SiX Channel is its versatile one-knob channel compressor. This intelligent circuit has a program-dependent attack and release time and an automatic makeup gain, making it incredibly simple to add punch and control dynamics. A clear three-LED meter shows the amount of gain reduction at a glance. The module also includes a switchable 48V phantom power, a polarity reverse switch, and a five-segment LED meter for monitoring the input level. For anyone wanting to capture the essence of a full SSL channel in a single 500 Series slot, the SiX Channel strip is an unbeatable and feature-packed solution.
