Sculpt your harmonics with SSL’s VHD preamps
Pioneered by the flagship Duality console and further popularized by the rackmountable Alpha Channel, SSL’s Variable Harmonic Drive preamps are revered throughout the recording industry for their tonal versatility and performance. When you engage the VHD circuit on each of the XL-Desk’s eight preamps, you instantly go from a pristine, uncolored sound to the volume-responsive warmth you’d expect from a vintage console. What’s more, there’s a knob that lets you dial in the proportion of second-order harmonics to third-order harmonics, allowing you to seamlessly transition between tube warmth and aggressive transistor bite.
SuperAnalogue signal path delivers pristine audio
Audio systems are defined by their bottlenecks, such as dynamic range, noise floor, and true frequency response. In most systems, this occurs well before the digital stage, which offers 144dB of dynamic range (at 24-bit) and supports frequencies up to 96kHz (a full 76kHz above the threshold of human hearing). That isn’t the case with SSL’s SuperAnalogue DC-coupled circuitry design. Using top-of-the-line surface-mount manufacturing techniques, the signal path from any point to another in the XL-Desk offers an extremely wide frequency range with a flat response, next to no distortion, and an almost unmeasurable noise floor. Even if you’re recording at 24-bit/192kHz, this console will never be your sonic bottleneck.
Customize your console with 500 Series modules
The XL-Desk is an ideal choice for engineers who love their outboard gear, and nothing embodies this more than its integrated 500 Series racks. All 16 of the XL-Desk’s mono channels have access to their own 500 Series slot. Depending on which XL-Desk configuration you go with, they either come loaded with SSL 611EQ E Series equalizer modules, or they’re all free for you to customize. The last two slots come preloaded with the legendary SSL G Comp bus compressor. Rather than run them in line, you can insert any of the modules from slots 9–16 into the path of the four stereo mix buses. What’s more, you can access all 16 of the mono slots I/O via dedicated DB-25, allowing you even greater routing flexibility. And thanks to the over-specified power supply onboard, all 18 of the 500 Series slots are virtually future proof.
All the buses and routing options you need
The purpose of any mixer is pretty basic: get signals from multiple sources, blend them together, and send them to one or more destinations. The magic happens at the mix bus, where audio signals come together and interact in a way that’s greater than the sum of the parts, and SSL’s mix buses are second to none. The XL-Desk gives you four of these amazing mix buses along with a pair of aux sends and a ton of I/O options that let you set up your studio exactly how you like it. Each input channel features a direct output (pre or post fader) and an insert point with a continuously active send. There are also 16 additional ALT line inputs, which provide an easy in-line mixing workflow for your DAW complete with analog summing. Add a patchbay to your XL-Desk, and the mixing configurations are nearly endless.
Superior monitor control and communications
When it comes to monitoring and communications, few console manufacturers can hold a candle to Solid State Logic, and the XL-Desk only builds on their solid reputation. On the monitoring side, the XL-Desk lets you hook up three sets of speakers, allowing you to work on your main monitors, check your mix on your full-range nearfields, and then dazzle the client on your hi-fi rig, all without touching a cable. You can even hook up a subwoofer and assign it on or off with each monitor set. Mono fold down, dim volume attenuation, and two solo modes (solo-in-place or after-fader listen) are just a button push away. On the talkback side, there’s a mic built into the XL-Desk that lets you effortlessly talk back to two of the three headphone mixes. What’s more, there’s a Listen Mic input onboard with the legendary SSL listen compressor, which you can split to a recording channel if you want to pull off the classic Genesis room mic trick.
