Top producers and engineers, as well as artists, have been quick to acquire the AWS 900 for their private or commercial studios, says SSL. Installations include five at Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's private studio, Flyte Time; Will Smith's studio, the Boom Boom Room; Alicia Keys's the Oven Studios; and engineer/producer Tal Herzberg's room at Henson Recording Studios.
SSL also exhibited the XLogic range of rack mount products, including the X-Rack modular rack system. The X-Rack Mic Amp and Channel EQ, introduced at NAMM, join the existing Dynamics unit to form a comprehensive processing solution for studio or live applications.
Also on display were the XLogic E Signature Channel, which brings the sound of SSL's early '80s E Series console to the outboard rack of today's engineers and producers, and the LMC-1 Plug-In, launched last year and now available for PC as well as Mac.
"As the DAW has become an integral component of audio production, the vast SSL user base has been clamouring for products that bring SSL's legendary sound to new creative environments," said Solid State Logic director of product marketing Niall Feldman. "We have developed a group of products that do just that, and the overwhelming response to date has validated our efforts. We look forward to continued innovation as the audio industry's exciting evolution proceeds."
