Solid State Logic is showing a radical update to the successful AWS 900 console at AESUSA - Solid State Logic is showing a radical update to the successful AWS 900 console at AES in San Francisco. Launched in 2004, the AWS combines SSL analogue console technology with DAW control hardware in a single work surface. Over 550 consoles later the AWS has evolved through several significant upgrades.Maintaining the same 24 fader footprint, the new AWS is now available in 24 Input (AWS 924) and 48 Input (AWS 948) variants and introduces significant new features including Dual Path Channels with stereo EQ & Insert, 8 fader bay Digital Scribble Strips and 'A-FADA' (Analogue Fader Accesses DAW Automation) automation where motorized analogue faders follow DAW automation data.The increase from 24 to 48 inputs on the AWS 948 is achieved via the introduction of a Dual Path Channel Strip design where each channel has a single mic pre and two line level inputs, a new Stereo EQ and Stereo Insert.(Jim Evans)
