Critic Reviews

SSL XLogic Superanalogue Channel

soundonsound.com

The SSL XLogic Super-Analogue Channel offers an impressive blend of mic preamp, EQ, and dynamics from the XL9000K console, all in a compact 1U rackmount. Its versatile architecture allows for a flexible arrangement of components, providing great utility in studio settings. With superb sound quality, low noise, and high headroom, it embodies the famed SSL Superanalogue sound. However, the rear heat sink's vulnerability and lack of inserts or preamp output are minor drawbacks, as is the absence of front-panel indications for the optional A-D card. Despite these, the unit remains an excellent choice for those seeking top-notch audio fidelity.
