About this manual

This manual is divided into five main sections, and is designed to provide a comprehensive source of

information for Duality console users. The table of contents will help you to familiarise yourself with the basic

content of each section. If you are reading this from an electronic version of the manual, use the ‘bookmark’

feature to rapidly locate to virtually any topic.

If you have not previously used an SSL console, you are advised to read the Duality overview at the start of

Section 2. Those of you who have experience of SSL’s range of analogue consoles will have little difficulty

getting to grips with the operation of this console’s control surface; features that are specific to Duality are fully

described in Section 2.

To set-up and configure the software interface between Duality and your chosen DAW, please study Section 3.

This section also covers the DAW functions that you can usefully control from Duality’s centre section.

Finally, the last section in this manual is provided to hold useful appendices that you may be supplied with from

time to time.

Conventions Used

Some typographical conventions have been used in this manual to help distinguish explanatory text from the

text referring to console items. They are as follows:

• Switch cap engravings on the console are usually in

UPPERCASE

(eg.

SOLO

• Silk screened text on the console’s control surface can be either UPPERCASE (eg. DYNAMICS), or

lowercase bold

(eg.

auto

), or

Titlecase

(eg.

Talkback Mix

• Any text on the console’s TFT screen is referred to in a

Bold

typeface.

•

Items of note or cautions are shown in a red italic typeface.

• Whenever this manual mentions the selection or pressing of a button, it is assumed that the button was not

active (ie. not lit), and that this action has made it active (ie. it has become lit).

• Similarly, whenever the manual mentions the deselection of a button (or pressing it again), it is assumed that

it was active before the action, and has become inactive due to this action.
