Well, we can hardly contain our excitement. As you know there are many recording studios in London. But there are only a few lucky enough to have a real SSL. And there are even fewer that are blessed with the original vintage 4000/6000 series – whose sound is craved by every producer on the planet – and not one of SSL’s digital or newer hybrid monstrosities. The fact remains that, even now, there have been more platinum records mixed on this very console than all the rest put together. You know you are piece of legendary gear when Universal Audio make a plugin for a single channel of your desk for a modest $450. A fair copy for software, but not the real thing. And we have 32 of them, and the magical G series master buss compressor.
You want more? Ok, we’re also getting the mythical Lexicon 224XL reverb with the ubiquitous white LARC remote that you’ll see on every good analog console (and Universal Audio make a plugin for that, too).
We are taking delivery of a fully refurbished, re-capped and commissioned SL6032 G+ on November 5th 2014. If only there was a rhyme to remember the date…
