The Solid State Logic SiX 6-Channel SuperAnalogue Desktop Mini Mixer gives you the sonic signature of a large format SSL console on your desktop or in your backpack. Its signal path is fully balanced from front to back on everything except the headphone output. It delivers pristine, detailed audio with wide dynamic range, ultra-low noise, ultra-low distortion and superb imaging. If you want to know more about the technical reasons why SSL mixers sound so good read the Lifting The Veil document.
Key Features:
- Compact desktop-friendly design with angled top panel for ergonomic access to controls
- Functions as a 6-channel (two mono and two stereo) recording mixer or a 12-input summing mixer
- Ideal for studio-based music and post production, live stage applications, podcasting, and more
- Delivers +27 dBu headroom, wide dynamic range, ultralow noise and distortion, and precise imaging
- Fully balanced signal path except for the headphone output
- Two mono channels with SuperAnalogue mic preamps, individually switchable phantom power, 1/4" line/Hi-Z inputs, 75 Hz high-pass filters, and balanced insert points
- Single-knob channel compressors feature signal-dependent attack, release, and ratio parameters with automatic make-up gain and adjustable threshold
- E-Series-style, gentle, 2-band channel equalizers with up to 15 dB of boost/cut, selectable shelving (at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz) or bell (at 5 kHz and 200 Hz) modes, and in/bypass buttons
- Long-throw 100mm faders on all channels and main bus
- Two stereo cue sends with independent level and pan controls
- Per-channel PFL solo and 8-segment LED meters
- Channel mute buttons reroute signal away from the main bus to the B bus
- Two stereo input channels with -10 to +20 dB trim for line sources such as synthesizers, drum machines, and more
- G-Series Bus Compressor on the main mix bus; fixed ratio, attack, and release settings give you the classic SSL glue in an instant
- Two external stereo inputs with adjustable levels
- Flexible control room section with main and alt speaker outputs, mono and mute switches, and adjustable dim
- External talkback mic input with phantom power, 45 dB of gain, selectable LMC (Listen Mic Compressor), and adjustable output level
- Meters have defined segments for +24 dBu and +18 dBu to match the two most common 0 dBFS alignment standards (EBU at 0 dBFS = + 18 dBu, and SMPTE at 0 dBFS = +24 dBu)
- Gain reduction LED meters for channel compressors and main bus compressor
- External power supply with locking connector moves the power supply's electromagnetic interference away from the SiX's audio circuits, allowing uncompromising bandwidth with accurate phase and transient response
- Power rails are ramped on power-up to minimize thumps on monitor and headphone outputs
