The latest in a long heritage of SSL studio mixing consoles, the ORIGIN studio console has traditional analog studio workflow at its heart, while being the perfect partner for a modern DAW-driven hybrid production studio. Its classic design looks back to the origin of in-line consoles for signal flow inspiration, incorporating cutting-edge analog developments to deliver a unique sonic signature that’s still unmistakably SSL. ORIGIN is more than just the culmination of four decades of technical innovation. Because of SSL’s deep knowledge of workflow and studio integration, they designed a console to provide the immediacy and well-executed ergonomics that will inspire and engage a modern studio environment. ORIGIN does this and more—leading the way with a fresh look at how an analog console complements the latest digital tools and production techniques. A purely analog in-line design, with 16 buses, E-Series EQ and classic Bus Compressor, ORIGIN breathes new life into a design classic across the whole console. The PureDrive mic pre inherits the clarity and purity of previous SSL mic pre designs, switching character to a warm, harmonically rich and driven tone that varies with mic pre gain. The mix bus and mix amp architecture delivers an amazingly low noise floor, along with huge headroom. The result is a mix bus that retains the classic SSL sound, while bringing the breadth and space to mixes that engineers and producers love from analog summing.
