Affordable top quality mixer

This small console improved my workflow and has more than a few stunning features that benefit smaller studios that are looking for great quality. I hesitated before buying, so glad I bought it. Very satisfied!

BUYER BEWARE

Power supply signal interference issues. Does not work as a digital mixer.

SSL made me fit my own retrospective circuit board which was fiddly and the product still has issues.

Tickling noise and bad response from SSL support

It was my first serious mixer out of upper price range. And this expirience was really disappointing. I expected to enjoy high quality of SSL products but got an unit with terrible tickling noise problem. As I found on various forums I am not alone and may users around the world had the same trouble. But the most disappointing part of this experience is communication with SSL support as they response very slowly and you can wait for response for a week or more.

So please be aware of this common problem and ask for testing before buying if it is possible.

Nevertheless, the features of this mixing console are awesome and versatile it contains almost all you may want to have and beyond in you home project studio. 16 channel including 4 superanalogue channels with eq and compressor. I guess sound of this mixer is pretty good too if my unit was not faulty. If SSl had proper quality control during production of this product this mixer was the best value you can have for its price.
