Solid State Logic Announces The SSL Channel Strip Guide Solid State Logic announces the release of The SSL Channel Strip Guide -- the first resource of its kind to provide an overview of SSL's analog console history in a single document. The guide is said to bring the company's history of consoles all together for the very first time, tracing the journey from the 4000 B, E and G Series, through the SuperAnalogue 9000 Series, to today's flagship Duality Fuse and the Future Analogue ORACLE, introduced earlier this year. The original 3232 console channel strip is also featured, marking SSL's ongoing partnership with Nashville-based Harrison Audio. The document, involving insight from some of SSL's longest-serving engineers and audio experts, is available now as a free PDF download on the SSL site at solidstatelogic.com/channel-strip-guide summarizing each console's channel strip. These are the very tools that have had an important role in shaping modern music creation over the past several decades. This guide aims to equip the next generation of producers and engineers with the knowledge to choose the right tools for the job. "Over the course of my 37 years at SSL, we've never had a single resource that captures the full breadth of our analogue console channel strip history. This guide finally brings together the character, technology, and sound of every channel strip, giving today's creators the knowledge they need to make informed choices and carry our analogue legacy forward alongside our vision of the future," says Niall Feldman, director of special products. For over 40 years, SSL channel strips have defined the sound of countless chart-topping records and iconic albums. While SSL didn't invent the channel strip, many engineers regard SSL's design as the most optimized tool for production -- refining the concept with products such as the four-band parametric EQ, comprehensive dynamics processing on every channel, and advanced routing options that set a new benchmark for music creation. "This guide not only celebrates SSL's legacy but empowers modern creators to make informed decisions about the tools they choose," the company says. "It offers clear insights into the unique sonic characteristics and technical distinctions of each SSL channel strip." The release of this comprehensive guide follows a landmark year for SSL, including the Revival 4000, Super 9000 Channel Strips, Harrison 32Classic MS Mix Strip, 4K G plug-in, and the new Future Analogue ORACLE console. Whether you're chasing the punch of the classic 4000 Series or the clarity of SuperAnalogue technology, this guide helps producers, engineers, and creators identify the SSL tools for their productions. The SSL Channel Strip Guide is available to read now on the SSL website and as a free PDF download: solidstatelogic.com/channel-strip-guide.
