Message Board - Solid State Logic SL 9000J Series Console
The Solid State Logic SL9000J is an analogue mixing console from Solid State Logic. It draws on and develops many of the features of SSL’s other music consoles, while retaining a control surface that will be familiar to any recording engineer familiar with SL4000, 6000 or 8000 Series systems.
The desk has an in-line signal path, with master status switching to quickly re-configure the console for particular tasks, but the signal routing can be overridden locally, providing even more flexibility than other SSL consoles. The desk has 48 Multitrack busses, 4 Stereo busses, a Main Stereo (optionally LCR) bus and 8 Auxiliary busses, which are divided into 6 Mono FX sends and a Stereo Cue bus. The four Stereo busses can be used as subgroups, additional record feeds, to generate Surround or Centre signals, or as additional FX sends. An ingenious reassign system allows Auxiliary send controls on individual channels to be disconnected from their own bus and routed to any of the Stereo or Multitrack busses, allowing up to 64 discrete FX send mixes to be generated. As well as the Large Fader level and Cut, the following console channel functions are automated:
•Small Fader level
•Small Fader Cut
•EQ In/Out
•Insert In/Out
•Individual Aux On/Off switches
These functions are controlled from an entirely new automation computer, providing additional processing power, colour graphics, pop up menus etc. The J Series Computer also provides complete integration with SSL’s digital product range, allowing random access multitrack recorders, digital work stations, random access video recorders and routing switchers to be controlled from the console.
