The release of the new L300 console and a major new software update signals SSL's dedication to remaining at the leading edge of the live sound industry for many years to come, says the company. L300 and the new V2.5 software release embodies the SSL tradition of listening to engineers and customers and demonstrates our commitment to rapid continuous development. The L300 will be shown at the 137th AES show in Los Angeles this week.
The new release means there are now two models available in the SSL Live console range, the larger L500 and the new more compact L300. Both consoles are equipped for applications in touring, installation, Houses Of Worship and theatre.
Both consoles offer the same SSL sound and the same operator experience. There are no compromises in build quality and both consoles use and can share the same Remote I/O. The L300 is physically smaller than the L500, so it is a more compact, lower cost option... with no hidden performance compromises.
Compact it may be but the L300 delivers the power and connectivity to handle large scale productions with up to 568 input/outputs, 128 processing paths (96 full, 32 dry), a 32 x 36 matrix, 36 VCA's, and 48 FX slots.
A new L300 compatible version of SOLSA, SSL's OffLine Setup Application will also be released alongside V2.5.
