Analog icing on the cake

In addition to high-end channel features, the Big SiX is also equipped with simplified versions of two of SSL's most famous effects: The G-Series Bus Com pressor and the Listen Mic Compressor. Compared to the big version, the bus compressor does without direct access to the ratio and time functions, but has the Auto Release function, which is preferred in the vast majority of cases anyway. The SSL LMC was originally designed for talkback channels, but since the 80s it has been used for drum rooms and snares. In the Big SiX, it is switched to the versatile routable talkback channel at the push of a button and controlled with the Talk Level knob.

What else is there?

Compared to most other consoles, the SSL Big SiX also stands out due to its excellent analog design. The Super Analogue circuitry used fully matches the sonic presence, punch and clean sound you'd expect from SSL, with low distortion, low noise and wide dynamic range. All inputs and outputs - line and insert - are balanced for optimal, noise-free signal quality. The entire circuit design is state-of-the-art and the result of over 40 years of experience with analog audio equipment.
