Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Solid State Logic AWS900+.

Setup and maintenance

  • Owners report that simply working the pots and faders on the AWS900+ does not effectively clean them, contrary to manufacturer advice.

    Source
  • A full recap and rebuilding of VCA cards can significantly improve console performance, as evidenced by improved functionality in other SSL models.

    Source
  • Using a signal generator to send a healthy signal while exercising switches and knobs can reduce scratchiness.

    Source
  • Ultrasonic cleaning is suggested for pots and faders if contact area allows; otherwise, worn parts may not benefit.

    Source

The console will sound great If the ssl agent was more ready to sale me my parts with installation like I asked them had a bank ready and they just talked but that did not fix my ssl it is kinda a waste of Time I knew what my problems were it had bust all faders needed a update panel and Scribble strips replacement plus power supplies and I know the prices in parts plus the traveling technician prices I never go inside the ssl never have never will only ssl agents but today I guess I have to get a outside technician that has great knowledge and e perfect experience record I do have 35 years behind ssl consoles I think I know a little bit about ssl I am not dum to ssl consoles I did asked for a full set faders plus master fader and the bill more games wasted airplane ticket first class come on UK does not need first class tickets SSL of LA Boy what a rip off now I have to rehire a professional not a ssl China marketing kid Who will just play around They just came a played around a wasteland Unhappy experience in the 1990 it was the best experience today ssl kinda sucks Good Luck paying a Bill and getting your parts I always hire a person to do the job so today’s. Ssl company let me down now look at a Neve console The most trustworthy name in a studio Don’t get me wrong SSL is the greatest console on earth it not the console or the bank It is the company I miss the older days I got the job done with I needed repairs
