SOLID STATE LOGIC ANNOUNCES TWO NEW MODULES FOR X-RACK/MYNX MODULAR SYSTEM

New E Series EQ & Dynamics Modules Reproduce the Legendary Sound of the Classic SSL 4000 E Console

The E Series EQ Module features two different EQs found on editions of the console produced between 1979 and 1987. Each EQ has unique response curves and tonal character. They are distinguished by the colors used on the LF knob caps so the two flavours have become known as the Brown and Black EQs. On the E Series EQ Module you can switch between these two different flavors of EQ that have been loved by generations of professional producers.

E Series EQ key features:

• Immortal SSL 4000 E Series circuitry

• Black-242 and Brown-02 twin EQ design

• Bell curve option on HF and LF

• Fully parametric LMF and HMF with Q

• Based on classic 611E console channel strip

The Brown EQ featured on the original SSL E-Signature Channel Strip is now uniquely available on the E Series EQ Module.

The E Series Dynamics Module features a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate, both of which return faithfully to the circuitry and key components which define the sound of the original SL 611E Series channel strip. A true RMS converter is used in the side chain while the gain element is an all discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit. The compressor contains additional switching options to defeat the over-easy curve and to use a linear release instead of the more usual logarithmic curve. The result is a compressor with three distinct voices, each with its own musical character.

• Immortal SSL 4000 Series circuitry

• Class A VCA replication

• Expander/Gate with Key input

• Based on classic 611E console channel strip

New brand: Analoguetube

The Analoguetube AT-101 is a faithful recreation of the original Fairchild 670 stereo limiter. The AT-101 is built using traditional point-to-point wiring methods and standard turret component mounts. The audio path and power supply are completely free from any printed circuit boards. The AT-101 like the original Fairchild 670 has been assembled completely by hand and uses high quality modern components. The tube complement is exactly the same, using a new generation 6386 remote cut-off triode developed to replace the original 50 year old tube types many of which were used in the Fairchild 670.

SSL unveils MATRIX at Musikmesse Frankfurt

MATRIX was developed as a high-quality solution for the Professional Project Studio.
Matrix is at the same time a 32-input SuperAnalogue line mixer, a multi-function DAW-controller, an electronically recallable patchbay, and a full studio and artist monitor controller.
With an unprecedented and unique set of features, Matrix brings a tremendous improvement in workflow, allowing you to focus more on the creative process.

SuperAnalogue design

Matrix features 32 line inputs, of which 16 analogue channels with 4 aux sends, pan, fader and record/mix bus assign, plus 16 additional channels with level and pan control which can be routed to a stereo cue bus.
Four stereo-returns are located in the master section and can be routed to either of the two stereo buses.
The complete analogue signal path features the same SuperAnalogue design of the AWS900+, Duality, and X-rack, delivering the pristine, clear and deep soundstage which SSL is famous for.

DAW control

Similar in functionality to the AWS900+ and Duality, Matrix’s DAW control consists of 16 + 1 faders, 16 D-pots, full transport control, and a programmable set of soft-keys. The soft-keys can be programmed to simulate keyboard shortcuts for immediate access to any DAW function.
Pressing the Focus-button switches the faders between analogue and DAW mode; Matrix can control up to four different DAWs simultaneously without the need for reboot in between. DAW control works through HUI and MCU protocols via an Ethernet connection.
As a bonus, Matrix is equipped with moving faders which can be controlled using DAW automation.

SuperAnalogue Router: Connect your outboard

Unique to Matrix is the 32x16x16 routing matrix, which lets you connect all your outboard equipment to the routing matrix’s in- and outputs, and then assign any piece of outboard to any channel of your choice simply by mouse-click.

A PC application allows you to manage the sends and returns of up to sixteen channels of outboard processing. In addition FX-chains can be saved, making recalls of mix-setups at a later time almost as easy as recalling a DAW session.

Monitoring

Apart from the standard monitoring and communication features found on most analogue consoles, Matrix has a built-in high quality stereo AD and DA, providing a digital output of the mix, plus a digital input for monitoring digital sources.

THERMIONIC CULTURE launches THE ROOSTER

The Rooster is a valve based design mic/line & DI pre-amp with EQ and a distortion section based around the same 5725 valve used in the ever-popular Culture Vulture.

The input stage uses a custom 1200-ohm input Sowter transformer and an ECC81/12AT7 valve.

The neatly laid out EQ section has all the Boost or Lift controls on the left, with a broad bass lift control, peaking at 60Hz, and a selectable mid/high lift at 2.5k, 4k ("bell" shaped) and 7k (shelving) respectively. All the Cut controls are on the left hand side, the mid cut is 700Hz, the 6 position bass cut is straight off the Earlybird 2 pre-amp. There is also a switchable LPF ( low pass filter ).

The same 5725-distortion tube which is employed in the Culture Vulture is used in the new Rooster. It offers a subtle distortion characteristic in the triode position, more so than a Culture Vulture due to the higher HT voltage, and so has a very low (about 0.01%) distortion when the 'Attitude' control is set to 1. In the pentode mode it generates more 3rd harmonic distortion. Distortion can be pretty radical when the Attitude control is to 'Max' and the input is high.

The output valve is ECF80 which combines high output with low impedance (less than 100 ohms). There is +48v phantom power, and phase reverse. The output is unbalanced as standard but a balancing transformer option that is used in the Culture Vulture Mastering will be available.

All Thermionic Culture valve equipment is manufactured in the UK, and is hand-wired using the best quality components.

CEDAR announces DNS3000 and DNS1500

Cedar DNS3000

The DNS3000 is the latest generation of CEDAR's Dialogue Noise Suppression technology, combining the tactile control surface of the original DNS1000 with the Pro Tools integration (Mac- and PC- based) of the DNS2000, plus much more. Additional features include on-board scenes with a simple and intuitive recall system, automation to timecode, moving faders and sample rates up to 96kHz.

As before, the hardware provides the processing power and audio I/O, and near-zero latency continues to ensure that there is no loss of lip-sync. With CEDAR's Academy Award®-winning DNS algorithm at its core, the DNS3000 eliminates all manner of noises from recordings and live transmissions.

Features:

• Extremely effective noise suppression
• Near-zero latency means no loss of lip-sync
• Pro Tools (Mac OSX and Windows XP) integration
• On-board scenes and automation
• Sample rates up to 96kHz

The DNS3000 will be available in Q1, 2008.

Cedar DNS1500

The DNS1000 was the most successful product of its type ever manufactured, installed in and used by TV, film and post studios the world over. It made otherwise unusable interviews intelligible, saved huge costs in ADR and looping, and rescued dialogue for movies such as The Lord Of The Rings, Spiderman, Castaway, as well as countless others. It was also a valuable tool in audio forensic investigation, used for cleaning audio signals in the lab and during live surveillance.

Today, the DNS1500 updates the style, design and performance of its predecessor. With an improved chassis and updated processors, it couples the perfect ergonomics of the DNS1000 with improved 2-channel performance and up to 96kHz capabilities for increased compatibility in today's audio environments.

If you work with dialogue, the speed, flexibility, and ease of use of the DNS1500 provides solutions to audio problems that you could not previously solve. Furthermore, the DNS1500's near-zero latency means that you do not need to slip the audio against time-code, making it possible to use the DNS1500 in real-time on the dubbing stage. For location sound engineers (who do not have the luxury of random access to the material) the near-zero latency means that the DNS1500 is simple to use with video, and removes the need for a video frame store. Furthermore, the combination of low latency and 24-bit fidelity means that you can leave the DNS1500 permanently in the signal chain without fear of signal degradation.

The DNS1500 is also a valuable tool in audio forensic investigation, used for cleaning tapes and for live surveillance. And in the audio forensic laboratory, the DNS1500 can remove motor noise from small covert recorders, eliminate electrical interference, and help to clean up recordings suffering from unfavourable acoustics and poor microphone locations.

New Brand: AnaMod

AnaMod was founded in 2006 by two industry veterans, Dave Amels (Bomb Factory, Voce), and Greg Gualtieri (Pendulum Audio).

Its mission: to design, manufacture, and market audio equipment based on an entirely new concept. The same patented mathematical modeling procedures used by Dave Amels to create digital plugins for Bomb Factory have been applied to the creation of AnaMod's analog products. Analog audio products designed by this method use the AnaMod process in their creation, are entirely analog, and do not process audio in the digital domain.

ANAMOD ATS-1 Analog Tape Simulator

The ATS-1 Analog Tape Simulator is the first product that uses the AnaMod process for modeling complex analog circuitry entirely in the analog domain. Specially developed analog building blocks are 'coded' to emulate the behavior of a complex analog system. Unlike digital plug-ins or processor-based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound. The result is a faithful recreation of the original response, without using the original analog hardware.

All of the important features of a two-track analog tape machine are found in the ATS-1, including speed selection, bias, LF record and HF Repro EQ, and the option of adding tape hiss, if desired. The reference 'record' level, as indicated on the illuminated VU meters, can be adjusted from 0 to +12 dBu in 3 dB increments.

The ATS-1 accurately models the behavior of specific tape machines and tape formulations, and allows the user to select from up to four machine and tape types. Optional machine and tape types are available on easy-to-install SIMM cards. Standard tape formulation cards shipped with the ATS-1 are the GP9 and 456. Standard machine cards are the A800 and M79..

Bus Compressor for the XRack

The Stereo Bus Compressor Module answers the clamor from customers for the audio legend that is the center section compressor from SSL G-Series Consoles to be made available for the X-Rack system. The module, which is the first double width module occupying two X-Rack slots, is a simple unit with a simple purpose; it makes complete mixes sound bigger, with more power, punch and drive. It brings cohesion and strength to the mix without compromising clarity. The Stereo Bus Compressor Module delivers the classic tonal characteristic of the G-Series Compressor but with the added benefit of the ultra high bandwidth, ultra low noise SuperAnalogue™ circuit design. The classic Threshold, Attack, Ratio, Release and Make Up controls make the module extremely simple to operate. True Stereo Side Chain Input is accompanied by a ‘link’ feature that enables multiple Stereo Bus Compressor Modules to be combined for surround processing.

When loaded with Stereo Bus Compressor, 4 Input, 8 Input & Master Modules, X-Rack can now be configured as an exceptionally high quality analogue summing mixer with instant ‘audio glue’ appeal that can breathe life and power into cold ‘inside the box’ DAW mixes.

Key features of the X-Rack Stereo Bus Compressor Module include:

• Classic sonic character and mix finalizing capabilities of SSL Stereo Bus compression.

• True Stereo side-chain Input for external signal keying.

VHD module for the XRack

The VHD Input Module combines some classic SSL heritage with a generous helping of cutting edge circuit design to deliver a devilishly warm and dirty alternative to the pure X-Rack Mic Amp Module. The VHD Input Module is based on the input section of the popular SSL E-Signature Channel 1U rack processor. The VHD Input module combines five key elements; a high bandwidth mic amp stage that can handle mic, instrument or line inputs, SSL’s innovative Variable Harmonic Drive circuit, an additional line input/ trim control section, a set of High and Low Pass Filters and the classic Listen Mic Compressor.

SSL’s unique VHD system is a 100% analogue circuit that adds a variable blend of 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion to your signal. At relatively low input gain settings ‘VHD’ preamps deliver ultra-clean recordings. Increase the input gain and adjust the VHD control and the user can inject his source recordings with anything from ‘50s valve-style overdrive through to hard-edged ‘70s transistor-style grit or any blend of the two.

When loaded with Mic Input, VHD Input, EQ and Dynamics Modules, X-Rack can now be configured as an exceptionally high quality and extremely versatile recording and processing system to serve as the perfect front end with the capacity to add analogue shimmer to potentially cold DAW recordings.

Key features of the X-Rack VHD Input Module include:

• Electronically balanced ultra high bandwidth Mic input with +20dB to +70dB gain control and phantom power.

• Hi-Z and Pad Switches on Mic Amp Input.

• Dedicated Additional XLR Line Input.
