Product Description
The Super 9000 from Solid State Logic is a premier analogue channel strip designed to bring the legendary SSL sound into any professional or project studio. Building on the iconic SL 9000 J and refined through the Duality console, the Super 9000 delivers the clarity, punch, and depth of SSL’s SuperAnalogue technology in a compact 1 RU unit. Ideal for rock, pop, hip-hop, and R&B, it enhances low-end depth and sparkling highs, providing a larger-than-life sound stage. Renowned studios worldwide, from Abbey Road to Record Plant, have relied on 9000 Series consoles to craft hit records, while top engineers depend on its ultra-transparent signal path to capture performances with unmatched fidelity. Featuring dual microphone preamps, switchable Variable Harmonic Drive for tonal character, flexible dynamics processing, and selectable SSL EQ circuits, the Super 9000 offers complete control over your audio. Extensive routing options, sidechain functionality, and flexible insert placement ensure seamless integration into any setup, making this channel strip the ultimate tool for professional music production and mixing.
Features
- Dual Mic Preamps:
Choose between the pristine SuperAnalogue preamp for clarity or the Variable Harmonic Drive for tonal character and saturation flexibility. - Full Dynamics Section:
High-performance SSL compressor with Peak and Soft Knee modes, Fast attack, and Gate/Expander with Hold control for ultimate punch and precision. - Versatile EQ and Filtering:
Switchable 292 G-Series or 242 E-Series circuits with parametric mid-bands, high and low pass filters, and flexible sidechain routing.
SuperAnalogue Design:
The Super 9000’s SuperAnalogue technology delivers an ultra-transparent signal path with super-wide audio bandwidth, exceptionally low noise, and minimal distortion. Its flat frequency response ensures every detail is preserved, while the absence of electrolytic capacitors and extremely low phase shift creates a natural, immersive sound. This level of fidelity allows engineers to hear every nuance in recordings, offering the clarity, punch, and depth synonymous with the modern SSL sound. The result is a channel strip that captures performances with unparalleled precision, providing a professional polish that makes mixes sound larger than life.
Dual Mic Amp and Variable Harmonic Drive:
The Super 9000 features dual mic preamps, allowing selection between the transparent SuperAnalogue preamp and the harmonically rich Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD). VHD adds second-order harmonics for warmth or third-order for a harder edge, which is easily adjustable via the INPUT FLIP button. This flexibility enables engineers to add character to DAW stems, line-level instruments, or microphone sources, making the channel strip a versatile tool for shaping tonal qualities. The VHD technology has become a trusted secret weapon, providing a wide spectrum of sonic possibilities in both recording and mixing workflows.
Flexible Processing and Routing:
The Super 9000 offers extensive routing options, including insert points for external gear, a dedicated external sidechain input, and flexible process ordering. Dynamics can be positioned pre or post EQ, while high and low pass filters can be routed to the input or sidechain. Linking two units for stereo compression is seamless, and the Input Flip feature allows line-level signals to pass through the mic preamp for added saturation. These features ensure complete creative control and integration, making the Super 9000 adaptable to any production or mixing scenario.
