Audio engineer Manny Marroquin uses the SSL XL 9000 K-Series, as detailed by Paul Tingen in the 2013 article "Most Important Linkin The Chain?" on AudioTechnology.

"When I first started working in this room, there was an SSL G-series, and then we had a J, and seven years ago we moved to the K. It sounds great, with a nice punch, and it’s very versatile. After 20 years in the business, 90 percent of the time I still monitor through my Yamaha NS10s with Bryston amplifiers. I also have Augspurger main monitors, and once in a while I listen to my KRK E8s, which are like desktop speakers. The SSL is my main mix tool. Every single thing I do goes through the desk. I may be old school in that I prefer to mix on a desk, but I also use a hybrid of analogue outboard and digital software. This means that about half of my effects come from software and the other half from hardware. Although plug-ins have become better over the last three years, I still find the sound lacks depth when it remains in the box. So I continue laying things out on my SSL, which has wonderfully smooth top end and an amazing low end."
