SuperAnalogue technology delivers pristine sound

The SSL XLogic X-Desk features the same ‘SuperAnalogue’ technology found in the larger SSL consoles, converted to a compact, portable format. The X-Desk is designed to incorporate the technology into a compact, portable format. The components features in the X-Desk are the same found in SSL’s infamous AWS 900+, Duality and Matrix consoles. You can also cascade several X-Desk units with support for up to a total of 160 channels.

Premium-grade controls, all-metal chassis

Acting as the main hub for your studio, the X-Desk is built to high standards. It features premium-grade controls and components including smooth 100mm faders. An integrated talkback system allows you to communicate with your artists. A custom iJack (stereo mini jack) front panel input allows you to use the mixer with portable playback devices such as smartphones and MP3 players. Dim and cut buttons are included for quick attenuation control.

Visual monitoring is taken care of by the highly accurate bar graph level meter. This precision level meter allows you to make informed decisions when changing levels and mixing. The all-metal chassis comes complete with removeable 19-inch rack mounting. This allows you to integrate the unit into your existing studio setup.
