Solid State Logic has made the first appointments in support of its SSL Live mixing console, with distribution in France to be handled by SSL France with Juke Box as the official dealer, and distribution in Italy by Cablateam.

‘SSL has been established for a long time in both France and Italy,’ says SSL Director of International Sales, Philippe Guerinet. ‘We have been working closely for many years with Giovanni Blasi in Italy and JB Lierre in France for our music products, so the SSL Live was a natural addition to their portfolios. The conclusion of some of the first commercial sales in these territories is clear evidence that we are on the right track.’

‘Continuing the successful cooperation between our two companies over the past ten years, we are delighted to embark on a new adventure with the Live console,’ says JB Lierre, owner and MD of Juke Box. ‘SSL is entering the live audio world with one of the most exciting products since the invention of the Line Array.’

‘I am glad that SSL has expanded into the live performance market and, based on the level of interest we’ve already seen, I am confident that SSL Live will soon establish itself as the most wanted console,’ says Cablateam head, Giovanni Blasi. ‘The SSL brand name will continue to remain in high regard for live audio applications with the Live console.’
