UK - Solid State Logic has announced the launch of Oracle - A Future Analogue Console. “Delivering analogue sound with instant, effortless, and complete recall and reset across the entire console, Oracle fulfils the dreams of producers, engineers, and studio owners around the world: a true professional solution, delivered with SSL quality, reliability, and support,” says SSL.
“Today, the company is proud to announce Oracle: a fully analogue in-line mixing console offering large-format features in a compact, AWS-size footprint, with instant, effortless, and complete recall of all processing, routing, gain, and pan settings thanks to the company's innovative new ActiveAnalogue technology.”
With the ability to instantly switch between mixing or tracking setups, change the session’s workflow in less time than it takes the artist to switch tracks, the new ActiveAnalogue technology within Oracle significantly increases the potential throughput of any studio facility, while “delivering the authentic analogue tone that artists and producers crave”. ActiveAnalogue combines the renowned sound and power of SSL’s analogue processing and summing with ultra-precise adjustment and an active recallable control system. “No trade-offs, no downtime, no disruption”.
Oracle merges the harmonic drive technology of the latest SSL PureDrive mic preamps, the current-driven busses introduced in Origin, and various flavours of harmonic saturation accessible throughout the console. Additionally, it delivers unprecedented recall and reset capabilities along with the sonic flexibility of SSL's latest analogue circuit design. “It is capable of producing the beautifully precise sounds of SuperAnalogue audio, to a palette of driven analogue tones, and everything in between. From an SSL legacy perspective, Oracle embodies the DNA of the classic E, G, and J/K consoles, while taking SSL’s sonic signature into the future.”
