SSL Solid State Logic Super 9000

SuperAnalogue™ Technology

SuperAnalogue™ technology creates a signal path so transparent and wide bandwidth that nothing is lost, putting the engineer right there in the room with the artist. It's key design elements include a super-wide audio bandwidth, a ruler-flat frequency response, ultra-low transient intermodulation distortion, the absence of electrolytic capacitors in the audio path, extremely low noise and harmonic distortion, and exceptionally low phase shift across the audible spectrum. The result is unmatched punch, definition, and a larger-than-life sound stage—qualities that define the modern “SSL sound” and are why SuperAnalogue™ consoles remain the professional’s choice for music production.
