SOLID STATE LOGIC 500-Series SiX Channel

Description

SSL SiX CH (SiX Channel strip)The SSL SiX Channel is a 500 series mini channel strip that uses the Superanalogue channel processing features of SSL's SiX console, including the preamp, EQ, and single-control compressor. The SiX Channel represents a simple way to add a Mic/Line input to the line inputs of any professional audio device, including the Stereo channels of the SiX console. It is also a flexible option for creating a professional modular mixer with a 500 series rack "summing mixer."SuperAnalogue Pre-amp inputA wide gain range and very low noise SuperAnalogue design allow it to work with a wide range of audio sources. The nominal impedance of the line input is 10 kΩ. This can be increased to 1 MΩ using the Hi-Z switch. The 1 MΩ impedance makes this input suitable for any high impedance source such as passive guitar pickups without the need for an external DI Box.Other features12dB/Oct, 75Hz High-Pass FilterPolarity Switch (ø) that inverts the polarity of the rear XLR Mic input.A five-segment LED meter shows the output level in dBuEQThe EQ adopts a very musical, wide-band design, with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz, adjustable with gain at +/- 15 dB. Each band can be independently switched from shelving to bell. The bell curves change the center of the operating frequency to 5 kHz and 200 Hz, giving great versatility to the two controlsCOMPA "one-knob" compressor with characteristics that offer powerful and versatile performance, despite the simple controls. A three-segment LED meter indicates the amount of gain reduction applied. The circuit has automatic make-up gain, to maintain a constant signal level regardless of the threshold values.Key FeaturesSuperAnalogue Mic Pre with 48V, Polarity and HPFTRS Line Input on the front panel with Hi-Z switch (1MΩ)2-band selectable EQ"One-knob" compressor with variable thresholdHigh-Pass Filter with 5 selectable frequencies and dedicated output trimTechnical specificationsSignal type: MonoPre-Amp Gain: variable from +6 to +72 dB (Mic), -3 to +63dB (Line)Mic Pre EIN: typically 129dBTHD+N: <0.0015%CMRR: >80dB (Mic), >70dB (Line)
