Solid State Logic

If you've always wanted an SSL Console in your professional studio but balked at the operational costs, the Solid State Logic ORIGIN 16 is the desk for you. This 16-channel console provides the layout, vibe, glue, sonics, and flavor of a classic SSL desk but that's not all: the ORIGIN 16 has powerful, versatile, and cost-saving features designed to make professional hybrid mixing an absolute pleasure.Need the most accurate, transparent sound for one project, but warmth and saturation for another? PureDrive preamps will give you both on a per-channel switchable basis. Concerned about your monthly electric bill? Don't be: the ORIGIN 16 automatically detects when you're idle, going into a power-saving mode to run at 40W rather than 900W. Comprehensive routing, 4K EQs on each channel, and a 2-fader per channel setup are all on hand. With the ORIGIN 16 in your studio, you can achieve high-quality hybrid mixes with the aplomb for which SSL is world renowned. Master SectionAll the Works at Your Fingertips The Master Control section is the heart of ORIGIN 16, designed with all the easily accessible features and tools needed to ensure a fast and creative workflow. Taking sustainability, ergonomics, modern gain-staging, and communication requirements into consideration, ORIGIN 16 offers a reassuringly familiar Master Control feature set, with some ahead-of-the-curve functionality.Classic Bus Compressor The SSL Bus Compressor is a fundamental feature of all SSL Master Control tiles, and it sees a number of enhancements in the ORIGIN series. You'll find extra compression ratios over previous versions, an insert/return path for the sidechain filter, and a built-in sidechain detector circuit as well. Whether you need punch or glue, this compressor will provide it.Bus Trim Masters and Routing A central track-bus routing matrix features 16 trims for the track buses, each with a range of 10 dB, and each with routing-assign switches for each bus.Auto Sleep Startup costs are one thing, but operational costs are quite another. For all those who run a studio, this is a big deal: an Auto Sleep mode automatically recognizes prolonged periods of inactivity, and puts the console into stand-by, reducing power consumption, and making ORIGIN 16 significantly more efficient than legacy SSL consoles.Solo Master Section Comprehensive Solo controls provide choice of Solo-in-Front with Mix balance, Solo-in-Place for Large, Small & Group faders, and PFL options. Solo Level, Solo Clear, and a Red Light Switch complete the available options.Mix Bus Fader The mix bus features a high-quality 100mm fader, with a fully balanced, switched insert for external bus processing.Monitoring The monitoring section offers independent trims for alternate monitors 1 and 2 as well as a variable DIM level, a Mono switch, left and right mutes, and an Invert Polarity switch for the left channel. You can select your monitor source from the main mix, three external stereo sources, or a front-panel stereo 3.5mm jack input, with a Sum switch allowing selected sources to be listened to simultaneously.Returns Four stereo return inputs enable ORIGIN 16 to route to mix and track buses with level-controlled feeds to stereo foldback outputs A and B.
