Solid State Logic has announced an update to its SSL Live console range, with the SSL Live V6 adding a new effects suite, Dante routing enhancements, remote control updates, and more.
The new update brings studio processing tools such as Fusion FX and Path Compressor Mix Control to the stage via SSL Live, while the Sourcerer and Blitzer effect rack modules can now be controlled directly from the TaCo app.
The onboard Fusion Effect Rack is designed to faithfully emulate the five key color circuits found on the SSL Fusion rack mounted hardware: Vintage Drive, Violet EQ, HF Compressor, Stereo Image, and Transformer. These modules provide five coloration tools designed to bring the designed combination of added tonal character, weight and space to the mix bus or stereo stems. SSL has also added additional features found in the Fusion plugin series. ? ?
Meanwhile, parallel compression is now available on all channels and buses via the Path Compressor Mix Control, accessible directly from both the touch screen and hardware controls. ?Further, the TaCo app has been updated so users can gain full remote control over the Sourcerer and Blitzer effect rack modules directly from the app. The app provides wireless control of SSL Live consoles from iPad or Android devices and can be used anywhere in the venue or alongside the console. ? ?
The enhanced Dante Routing Modes now include both the standard Showfile Saved mode as well as a new Outside of Showfile mode. There’s full Dante routing directly from the console, and users can choose to store routes within the showfile or configure them as independent, system-wide Dante routes. This transforms the console into a Dante controller, enabling management of system-level routing across the network. Users can create Dante routes that persist even after the console is powered down or a different showfile is loaded to help ensure uninterrupted system operation.
Also, a new “Dante Allowed Device List” lets users control and manage which Dante devices are visible and routable on the console. This well suited for many applications, such as fixed installations where freelance engineers may be authorized to access the console routing but perhaps not other resources that may be restricted. ? ?
The new V6 update also includes a System Set Minimum virtual tie line counts, which streamlines showfile routing for fixed installations. Even if a loaded showfile specifies a lower number of tie lines, the system will enforce this minimum, preserving “house set” connections that guest engineers cannot alter.
SSL Live V6 will be available in January 2025 as a free download for the entire console range. Go here for more specifics.
