Plug-Ins included: SSL Console EQ and Filters V1.5 / SSL Console Dynamics V1.01 / SSL Console Bus Compressor V1.0 Congratulations on your purchase of the SSL Console Bundle, the real SSL processing solution for your SSL Mixer V6 or SSL Soundscape V6 Software.
T o run the SSL Console Bundle Plug-Ins you need a host PC equipped with an SSL MX4 PCIe Card o r SSL Mixpander/5 (or Soundscape Mixpander/9) and the latest V ersion of the SSL Mixer V6.
NOTE: The SSL Console Bundle Plug-ins are automatically installed with the SSL Mixer & Soundscape V6 (or later) software. The installation procedure below is only required for previous Software V ersions. Installation Procedure: • Please close all SSL Mixer or SSL Soundscape V6 software • Double-click on the SetupSSLbundleV1.
Included Plug-ins: SSL Console EQ and Filters V1.5 T wo different Plug-In versions are included; mono to mono and stereo to stereo. Once inserted into the Mixer Software, the SSL Console EQ and Filters plug-in will appear as a small graph preview window inside the mixer column.
SSL Console Bus Compressor V1.0 T wo different Plug-In V ersions are included: Stereo to Stereo and Stereo to Stereo with Sidechain (SC). The SSL Bus Compressor is always Stereo. In the SC V ersion Input 3+4 are used to derive the SC Key signal from. TIP: In order to use a SC V ersion, you need a 4CH to Stereo Column to insert the Plug-In.
Peak Meters The peak meters in the input and output sections contain a clip indication light. This can be reset using CTRL+double click anywhere on the peak meter area (this does not have to be exactly over the LEDs).
Current Preset Name Displays the name of the currently loaded Preset, or (Untitled), if the Setting hasn ʻ t been stored yet. NOTE: The def.SEF , def.
SSL Console EQ and Filters EQ-Section Based on the EQ algorithm of the SSL C200 Console family , the equaliser is a four band parametric EQ. The distinctive Sound that was truthfull y modelled on XL 9.
The High Mid Frequency section o perates over a frequency range of 600Hz - 7 kHz and is capable of ±20dB of gain with a continuously variable Q from 0.5 to 2.5. Normally , at any Q setting, the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF sections varies with gain, whereby an increase in boost or cut increases the selectivity of the EQ.
Special EQ Controls Filter Knobs The filter pots have an OUT position, which removes the filters independently from the signal chain. T h e L P fi l t e r p o t e n t i a l l y h a s a m a x i m u m frequency of 35kHz. According to the Nyquist theorem, the possible bandwidth of a digital system is 0.
SSL Console Channel Dynamics The SSL Ch annel Dyna mics Plug-In co mpris es s eparat e secti ons for compressor/limiter and an expander/gate. Both sections work independently , but can be operational at the same time, providing sophisticated control of signal levels.
THRESHOLD Whenever a signal exceeds the level set by this control, the compressor will start to act at the ratio set by the RA TIO control. This control also provides automatic make-up gain, so as you.
F AST A TT Provides a fast attack time (100 μ s per 40db). When off, a controlled linear attack time of 1.5ms per 40dB is selected. The attack time is the time taken for the Expander/Gate to ʻ recover ʼ once the signal level is above the threshold.
SSL Console Bus Compressor The SSL Console Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary centre section bus compressor found on the XL 9000K Series console. It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of audio signals.
RELEASE Five switchable ranges 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 seconds and ʻ Auto ʼ . (With Auto selected, the release time is dependant upon the duration of signal peaks). Determines the time it takes for the compressor module to ʻ recover ʼ , once the incoming signal level is becoming lower .
