Solid State Logic has expanded the Live console range with the release of the L100, offering a physically smaller option for space restricted installations, sub-mix positions and corporate production.
The L100 features the same high headroom, low latency SSL Tempest Audio Engine as other SSL Live consoles, with showfile compatibility across the range, and the same I/O options, including SSL SuperAnalogue stageboxes (Madi or Dante), local analogue and digital I/O, and Blacklight.
L100 sets itself apart with its compact, 12+2 fader configuration frame, while retaining the same fast access layer/bank switching and Super-Q technology to ensure no channel, group, aux, VCA, or master is ever far away from an operator’s fingers. Users who require more faders can expand the L100 with SSL’s Remote Tile and more screen space can be added via an external touchscreen and the addition of tablet control.
The 17-inch multi-gesture touchscreen gives access to all of the consoles’ functions, and combines with Quick Controls in the central Fader tile to provide intuitive, immediate hands-on hardware control. The integrated tablet device stand combines with newly released version of SSL’s TaCo tablet control application functionality to offer an additional control interface for channel or Effects Rack processing. The Master Tile also provides Mute Group, Solo/Talkback, Assignable keys, and Automation controls.
Ninety-six fully-processed paths provide ample capacity for small- to mid-sized live productions, and its flexible architecture means it can be configured with up to 64 input channels, 36 aux sends, 12 stem groups, 12 VCAs, and four masters. An additional four 32 input, 12-ouput matrix is always available.
Every L100 path features a complete range of channel processing configurable in any order, including EQ, dynamics, tube emulation, delay, all-pass filter, and two insert points. The console’s internal FX rack provides everything else, with a large suite of SSL FX, for up to 24 instances.
The SSL Solsa PC app can be used for online control and offline editing, and the SSL Live TaCo (Tablet Control) mix app provides wireless tablet control of SSL Live consoles from iPad and Android devices.
‘The launch of the L100 will deliver the incredible SSL Live audio performance and technology to a whole new range of users that previously might not have been able to specify SSL Live,’ says SSL MD, Antony David. ‘Solid State Logic does not compromise its sonic integrity and build-values for anyone, so to be able to offer L100 at a very competitive price point is fantastic news.’
