SSL SiX CH: The Versatile Channel Strip with SuperAnalogue Mic Pre, Classic SSL EQ, and Single-Knob Compressor
The SSL SiX CH is a versatile channel strip that features a SuperAnalogue mic pre, classic SSL EQ, and single-knob compressor. It is the perfect tool for recording and mixing a wide range of sources, from vocals and drums to acoustic guitars and electric bass.
SuperAnalogue Mic Pre
The SiX CH's SuperAnalogue mic pre offers wide gain range and ultra-low noise. It is clean, fast, and punchy, making it ideal for capturing the subtle nuances of any source material.
Classic SSL EQ
The SiX CH EQ is a two-band EQ with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz, +/-15 dB gain range. Each band can be independently switched between shelving and bell curves. The bell curves change center frequency to operate at 5 kHz and 200 Hz, giving users greater versatility.
Single-Knob Compressor
The SiX CH's single-knob compressor is based on the tried and tested SSL feed-forward circuit design. It features program-dependent attack time and automatic make-up gain to maintain signal level. This makes it easy to achieve a range of compression effects, from subtle to aggressive.
TRS Line Input
The SiX CH also features a front-facing TRS line input, which can be used to add instruments on the fly or use the SiX CH as a summing module. The line input impedance can be changed from 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ via the Hi-Z switch. This makes the SiX CH compatible with a wide range of instruments, including passive guitar pickups.
Overall, the SSL SiX CH is a versatile and powerful channel strip that is perfect for a wide range of recording and mixing applications.
