{"product_id":"ssl-origin-evo-16","title":"Solid State Logic ORIGIN EVO 16 16-Channel Recording Console","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSolid State Logic ORIGIN EVO\u003c\/strong\u003e builds on the very foundations of Solid State Logic, carrying forward the legacy of the iconic 4000 Series console while integrating the latest hybrid features and workflows. ORIGIN reignites the 4K lineage; ORIGIN EVO takes it even further, delivering an in-line console with the unmistakable SSL sound engineers know and love – thanks to flexible PureDrive mic preamps, an authentic E Series dynamics section, and the iconic ‘Black Knob’ 242 EQ with LP\/HP filters. ORIGIN EVO’s high-headroom mix bus, paired with the enhanced Bus Compressor and forward-thinking routing capabilities, delivers mixes with analog warmth, creative edge, and the renowned SSL glue and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe expanded modular center section of ORIGIN EVO provides true hands-on control and ergonomic freedom for hybrid workflows. It seamlessly integrates a UF8 DAW controller or 19\" processors, ensuring the workstation and outboard processors sit exactly where you need them. With advanced bus routing, a power-friendly design, and an intuitive ‘freelance-friendly’ in-line workflow, ORIGIN EVO faithfully recreates the character that defined the E Series – and evolves it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003ePURE DRIVE MIC PRE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eORIGIN EVO’s PureDrive Mic Pre offers engineers a complete sonic palette, from high-resolution, ultra-clean capture to rich, driven tones. Its discrete transistor design delivers pristine, low-noise transparency; engage DRIVE – an evolution of SSL’s VHD technology – to introduce warm, harmonically rich color when the track demands it. Whether you’re tracking, printing stems, or shaping tones through channel processing, PureDrive provides the flexibility to choose between pure transparency and characterful saturation – one preamp, two distinct personalities, unmistakably SSL.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eE SERIES EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEvery channel strip on ORIGIN EVO features the most sought-after EQ design from the 4000 Series consoles: the iconic E Series 242 ‘Black Knob’. Originally developed in collaboration with Sir George Martin for the SL 4000 E, this EQ has been the choice of professionals for shaping exceptional mixes for more than four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eE SERIES DYNAMICS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eORIGIN EVO brings SSL’s E Series dynamics to every channel – one of the defining elements of the classic ’80s SSL sound. Expect punchy, aggressive compression and ultra-fast gating, faithfully recreated with original-spec circuitry and components to deliver the authentic 4000 E character. Each compressor includes a LINK function, feeding the sidechain signal to the adjacent channels, allowing multiple consecutive channels to be linked together. ORIGIN EVO’s dynamics section features a true RMS sidechain detector and an all-discrete gain-reduction stage, identical to the Class-A VCA chip used in the original console. Flexible controls let you bypass the soft-knee curve, engage fast attack, and select logarithmic or linear release – providing three distinctive compression characteristics that have shaped countless classic records.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eHIGH- AND LOW-PASS FILTERS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHigh-pass and low-pass filters are integral to the ORIGIN EVO channel strip, with the typical routing flexibility expected from an SSL in-line analog console. ORIGIN EVO adds a 12dB\/octave low-pass filter to ORIGIN’s existing 18dB\/octave high-pass filter, providing enhanced tonal shaping options. Both filters can be switched to the dynamics sidechain, allowing precise control over frequency response – ideal for gating drums or triggering the compressor with a tighter focus for tasks such as de-essing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eHYBRID PRODUCTION WORKFLOWS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOne of the key design principles behind ORIGIN EVO is authentic E Series sonics, delivered through hybrid production workflows and ergonomics. At its core is a 19-inch, rack-based modular center section that adapts to different control priorities and adds space for custom outboard processing, keeping the engineer in the sweet spot with workstation control and processing within arm’s reach. Seamlessly integrate a UF8 DAW controller, while the Stereo Group fader tile can be moved up the center section to place the UF8 in the lower bay, directly in front of the engineer. The 3U center meter panel can be repositioned to bring a workstation monitor closer without obscuring the main meters. Beyond the adaptable layout, each channel strip is optimized for hybrid work with a 0 dB fader bypass for printing stems and insert points on both the large and small faders for easy integration of additional processing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eTHE BUS COMPRESSOR – ENHANCED\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFew pieces of studio production equipment have earned the legendary status of the SSL Bus Compressor. For decades, it has been the secret weapon behind countless hit records – trusted by producers and engineers for its ability to deliver the ‘glue’ that brings a mix together. In ORIGIN EVO, this heritage lives on through the authentic circuit and design, built true to original specifications. Its signature mix bus cohesion adds power, drive, and clarity, creating the polished sound professionals demand. The Bus Compressor in ORIGIN EVO adds new compression ratios, an insert return for external processing, and a built-in sidechain filter – delivering the classic SSL punch with modern flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_6\"\u003eTHE SSL MIX BUS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA defining element of SSL consoles is their mix bus, and ORIGIN EVO is no different. ORIGIN and ORIGIN EVO take a new approach compared to other SSL large-format consoles to deliver excellent noise performance and very low distortion via a new ‘all-analog’ design. Part of the magic of SSL consoles is their ability to effortlessly sum sounds together with detail and separation, while creating an extremely wide stereo image for the engineer to use creatively.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_7\"\u003eADVANCED BUS ROUTING\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eORIGIN EVO’s electronic routing overcomes several ergonomic and reliability issues associated with traditional routing switches at the top of the channel. The new routing approach avoids the need for the user to repeatedly reach to the top of the strip and improves console reliability, with electronic switching removing components that are often located in the hottest part of the channel strip and therefore prone to cleaning or replacement. A single ROUTE select switch allows each channel to address the centrally located bus assignments, and with intelligent multi-select finger presses, setting up a session is far simpler and less prone to issues than traditional switch-based routing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_8\"\u003eSOLID STATE LOGIC ORIGIN EVO 16 FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUREDRIVE MIC PRES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e+70 dB of clean gain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitch from ultra-clean to warm, driven tones\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscrete transistor design \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE SERIES DYNAMICS PROCESSING – EVOLVED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompressor\/Limiter + Expander\/Gate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrue RMS converter in sidechain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthentic Class-A VCA chip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree distinct characters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitch between classic and logarithmic release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSidechain channel link\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSSL HIGH-PASS AND LOW-PASS FILTERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e18 dB\/octave high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e12 dB\/octave low-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePath routing via SF\/LF\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter to dynamics sidechain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlip Filter \u0026gt; EQ or EQ \u0026gt; Filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSSL E SERIES EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIconic ‘242’ Black Knob design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeveloped in collaboration with Sir George Martin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour-band parametric EQ\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHF\/LF bell\/shelf switch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDedicated HMF and LMF Q controls\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIN\/OUT for true circuit bypass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENHANCED SSL BUS COMPRESSOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLegendary ‘glue \u0026amp; punch’ \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew compression ratios\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSidechain HPF\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInsert Return\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIC SSL CONSOLE, LATEST HYBRID WORKFLOWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e0 dB fader bypass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDirect channel outputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInsert point on every path\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelocate the Stereo Groups and center Tile\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeamlessly integrate DAW control with UF8 or UF1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdd additional analog processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMovable meter bridge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451341336679,"sku":"499623","price":49999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/ssl-origin-evo-16_499623_1.jpg?v=1787096863","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/ssl-origin-evo-16","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
