Introduction
BiG SiX is a studio grade, SuperAnalogue mixing console that delivers all of the quality and flexibility audio professionals expect
from an SSL console, but in a package that is designed to fit the compact footprint needed for smaller personal studios. Its
design doesn't compromise on performance because of its size, but delivers a powerful set of professional features in a 9U 19"
rack width package.
BiG SiX incorporates professional quality A to D and D to A converters and a multi-channel USB DAW interface, however the
connections and signal flow is such that it can be used as a wholly analogue mixing console, without reliance on the digital
connection.
