SSL Technologies
In its perpetual quest for technological breakthroughs over the years, SSL has produced a considerable number of significant technological advances.
These technologies include, to name a few :
SuperAnalogueTM There is a technology called SuperAnalogue™ design that was first implemented in the 9000J series. This technology is the combination of different elements that provide direct DC-coupling (with no capacitor), which allows a usable bandwidth beyond the audible range. Beyond the intrinsic considerations of maintaining a wide bandwidth, subjective perceptions need to be exceptional and, naturally, beyond the capabilities of the 192 kHz sampling rate.
All current SSL consoles (Duality, AWS 924, AWS 948, Live 500) are based on the SuperAnalogue TM design
LogicFX G383 EQ et G384 Stereo Bus Compressor : In 1991, SSL presented LogicFX G383 EQ and G384 Stereo Bus Compressor, which were revived in 2003 in the form of the SuperAnalogue™ Channel, Multi-Channel Bus Compressor.
Digital and SSL... a history : SSL's research and development in digital audio began around 1985 with the first product, 01, an 8-channel recorder/editor, followed by an 8-track editor, ScreenSound, then Visiontrack, then Scenaria etc...
In 1990, A Séries digital consoles were being used in music and broadcast production and post-production.
In 2003, the Centuri platform appeared, allowing the management of a greater number of channels and with increased processing power. Then there were the C100, C200 followed in 2005 by the C300.
