Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this 500 Series compatible
SSL SiX Channel Module.
This module has been specifically designed to operate in a 500
Series enclosures such as the API lunchbox® or equivalent. In
common with many such modules, the nominal input/output level is
+4 dBu.
The SSL SiX Channel is a single-width 500 Series mini channel
strip using the SuperAnalogue channel processing features from
SSL’s SiX console including the Mic-pre, low and high frequency
EQ, as well as the single knob compressor.
The SiX Channel is a simple way to add additional Mic/Line inputs
to the line level returns of any professional audio device, including
the Stereo channels of the SiX console. It is also a flexible way to
create a professional modular mixer from a ‘summing’ 500 Series
rack unit.
Operation
Please refer to the illustration opposite.
SuperAnalogue Pre-Amp input
The SiX Channel pre-amp is the same wide gain range SuperAna-
logue design as found in the SiX Console and thus developed from
the mic pre-amps of the larger SSL Duality and AWS consoles. In
these consoles, line and mic inputs are served by separate pre-
amps. In the SiX Channel a wide gain range, ultra low noise Super-
Analogue design provides both Line and Mic facilities with a “Line”
gain range switch to cover a wide range of source levels.
The pre-amp consists of a microphone input (from the 500 series
rear rack XLR) and a front panel line level input (¼” TRS Jack
Socket).
