Critic Reviews

Solid State Logic Sigma

soundonsound.com

The SSL Sigma is a standout in analogue summing, offering DAW-driven automation with a sleek web-based control interface. It delivers exceptional audio quality with a wide soundfield and high detail. While it requires good-quality converters and peripherals to fully leverage its capabilities, its performance makes it a worthwhile investment for serious recording setups. However, it's not a replica of the classic SSL console sound, which might be a consideration for some users. Overall, the Sigma is an innovative and efficient tool for modern studios.

Review: SSL Sigma — AudioTechnology

audiotechnology.com

An innovative blend of digital control and analogue summing, the SSL Sigma impresses with its superior sonics and streamlined design. It offers extensive I/O and DAW integration, making it a prime candidate for those seeking to centralize their studio workflow with minimal analogue footprint. However, its reliance on web browser control and a challenging setup process could deter hands-on users and those in internet-free zones. Despite its hefty price tag, the Sigma's clear, refined sound and smart design make it a standout choice for well-heeled home and small pro studios.
