Solid State Logic (SSL) announces the launch of Oracle – A Future Analogue Console. Delivering a sublime analogue sound with instant, effortless, and complete recall and reset across the entire console, Oracle fulfils the dreams of producers, engineers, and studio owners around the world: a true professional solution, delivered with SSL quality, reliability, and support.
Since SSL launched the groundbreaking SL 4000E console with total recall in 1979, producers, engineers, and studio owners have dreamt of a console that could deliver the unmistakeable analogue sound quality of SSL, but without the disruption and uncertainty of manual recall between sessions; a mixing console that could instantly recall settings and adapt to on-the-fly creative shifts, while effortlessly switching between multiple sessions in a single day.
Now, that dream is a reality as Solid State Logic revolutionises analogue mixing console technology once again. Today, the company is proud to announce Oracle: a fully analogue in-line mixing console offering large-format features in a compact, AWS-size footprint, with instant, effortless, and complete recall of all processing, routing, gain, and pan settings thanks to the company’s innovative new ActiveAnalogue technology.
With the ability to instantly switch between mixing or tracking set-ups, change the session’s workflow in less time than it takes the artist to switch tracks, the new ActiveAnalogue technology within Oracle significantly increases the potential throughput of any studio facility, while delivering the authentic analogue tone that artists and producers crave. ActiveAnalogue combines the renowned sound and power of SSL’s analogue processing and summing with ultra-precise adjustment and an active recallable control system. No trade-offs, no downtime, no disruption.
Oracle merges the harmonic drive technology of the latest SSL PureDrive mic preamps, the current-driven busses introduced in ORIGIN, and various flavours of harmonic saturation accessible throughout the console. Additionally, it delivers unprecedented recall and reset capabilities along with the sonic flexibility of SSL’s latest analogue circuit design. It is capable of producing the beautifully precise sounds of SuperAnalogue audio, to a palette of driven analogue tones, and everything in between. From an SSL legacy perspective, Oracle embodies the DNA of the classic E, G, and J/K consoles, while taking SSL’s sonic signature into the future.
