The Solid State Logic SiX Channel 500 Series Channel Strip is a single-width 500 Series channel strip using the SuperAnalogue channel processing features from SSL’s SiX console including the Mic-pre, low and high-frequency EQ, as well as the single knob compressor.
SuperAnalogue
Using the same technology as SiX and large-format SSL consoles, SiX CH features a SuperAnalogue mic pre, offering wide gain range and ultra-low noise. It’s clean, fast, and punchy - the perfect preamplifier for any source material.
SSL HF and LF EQ
SiX CH EQ is a classic SSL style gentle, broad stroke two-band design with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz, plus-minus 15 dB gain range. Each band can be independently switched between shelving and bell curves. The bell curves change centre frequency to operate at 5 kHz and 200 Hz giving greater versatility from the two controls.
Channel Compressor
A ‘one knob’ channel compressor with features that give powerful and versatile performance from its deceptively simple controls. It uses the tried and tested SSL feed-forward circuit design, program-dependant attack time, and automatic make-up gain to maintain signal level.
TRS Line Input
The front-facing TRS line input offers a convenient way to add instruments on the fly or use SiX CH as a feature-packed summing module. 10 k ohm nominal Line Input impedance can be changed to 1 M ohm via the Hi-Z switch. The 1M ohm impedance makes this input suitable for very high impedance sources such as passive guitar pickups without needing an external DI box.
