By creating their first new EQ circuit in over a quarter century, SSL has drawn on their vast legacy to pinpoint the most useful frequencies and ideal response curves, providing an efficient way to bring a new heft and sparkle to your mixes. With four selectable frequencies in two bands, minimal phase-shift and a range of 9 dB boost or attenuation, the Violet EQ element provides a wide range of options to dial in the right range of results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE DRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Drive element is a novel approach to enhancing harmonic content. Controls for Drive and Density are interdependent and can produce sweet musical harmonics and a more organic style of compression with soft clipping. These can bring a cohesiveness and glue to your mixes, impossible to achieve by other means. A tri-color status indicator lets you know when you’re in the sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHIGH FREQUENCY COMPRESSOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother tri-color status light is found on the High Frequency Compressor element, a more straightforward approach to compression that is specifically tailored for the high end of the spectrum (from 3 to 20 kHz). This element allows a more analog style HF roll-off, well suited to smoothing out the edges that digital tracking can produce. Achieve the unique tone you’re after, and mellow your harshness - not the other way around!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSFORMER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA switchable Transformer circuit is the element that achieves what analog iron is all about – adding some saturation in the low frequencies, while also phase-shifting the highs to create color and character that no digital signal processing can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEREO IMAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith the new Stereo Image element, a real analog Mid-Side control is at your fingertips.

At the front and back ends are Input and Output Trim controls providing 12 dB of boost or cut, with a convenient Overload LED on the Input side. A 15-point LED meter provides for Peak Hold display of the signal, and the Bypass mode allows all switchable functions to be bypassed, after the Input trim control. A three-position High Pass Filter on the Input side allows a cutoff at 30-4-50 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFurther manipulation of your signal can be achieved with a set of XLR connections that function in either of two ways. In one mode is a Stereo Insert for processing the mix bus; this can be switched to occur before the EQ element. In the other mode, they can be used as a Mid-Side (MS) circuit, where separate signal processing like EQ or compression can be delegated to the center (Middle) and Side components of a stereo signal, either before or after the Stereo Image element. These features greatly enhance the ability to manipulate a stereo signal, making the SSL Fusion the premier analog stereo signal processor.
