MIX BUS Fader

The main stereo MIX BUS fader is a 100mm high quality audio taper fader that controls the level of the main Mix Bus Out from the
console. The Mix Bus Fader is calibrated so that unity gain (0dB) is at the top of its travel. As can be seen in the block diagram
below, the fader follows the dedicated, balanced Mix Bus Insert Send and Return, which in turn is ahead of the classic SSL Bus

Compressor. An Oscillator inject is the last point in the Mix Bus signal flow, this inject is switched on using the

TO MIX

switch in

the Master Section

OSCILLATOR

controls.

MIX BUS Insert

ORIGIN's Mix Bus has a dedicated, fully balanced Insert Send and
Return. The Insert Send is always active, with the Insert Return being
switched into the Mix Bus circuit using the

INSERT

switch located next to

the Mix Bus fader (see picture left). This Insert is an ideal place to insert
mix bus processing devices such as SSL's Fusion.

MIX BUS COMPRESSOR

The classic SSL Bus Compressor in ORIGIN is a stereo compressor
applied across the Main Mix bus that uses exactly the same classic
design as the original unit found on the SL4000 G-Series console released
in 1989 (which in-turn was evolved from the earlier E-Series consoles).

The ‘soft’ knee point of the compressor, ie. the level at which compression
starts to take place, is set by the

THRESHOLD

control (±20dB). This is

intentionally designed to change depending on the setting of the

RATIO

control; decreasing the

RATIO

setting lowers the effective threshold,

hence maintaining the perceived ‘loudness’ of the compressed signal.

The

RATIO

switch has six settings, 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and 10:1.

ATTACK

time is switchable in six steps between 0.1 and

30 ms, and the

RELEASE

time is selectable between 0.1 and 1.6 seconds in five steps. The

AUTO

release selection adjusts the

release time according to the signal envelope. The gain

MAKEUP

simply acts as a level control to compensate for the lowered

level that is a consequence of compressing the signal. This control may be set so as not to change the overall output level when
the compressor is switched in.

The compressor features a classic ‘dominant’ sidechain architecture. The left and right channels are independently rectified using

a true peak full wave detector circuit, and the dominant (loudest) channel controls the gain reduction of the overall stereo level
via the user selected time constants.
