SSL MX4 XLogic I/O – No Longer Available

Groundbreaking Audio I/O and processing

The SSL MX4 delivers outstanding performance to demanding ‘inside the box’ users who refuse to compromise on quality. It combines three central system elements; a very high channel count/high quality audio interface – an extremely versatile Software Mixer – and DSP powered plug-ins that provide console grade precision processing with legendary SSL audio characteristics.

• 128 channel MADI Digital Audio Interface
• Multi-client SSL Software Mixer
• DSP Powered SSL processing plug-ins

MX4 is the ideal solution for audio professionals seeking solutions for complex recording and mixing environments. The 128 channel MADI I/O can be combined with SSL Alpha-Link audio format converters, connected directly to suitably equipped consoles, or integrated with Broadcast Routers to deliver a very high channel count alongside uncompromising audio quality. The MX4 flexible mixer architecture, true multi client operation and stunning ‘near zero’ latency creates a powerful system with the versatility to create multiple (or duplicate) multi-channel record feeds, to create multiple headphone/artist monitor feeds or to build Mix Minus monitor feeds in Broadcast applications. SSL console grade plug-ins ensure that any system has the precision, power and quality to meet all processing requirements.

The Audio Interface

• 128 channels of digital audio I/O over fibre optic MADI
• SSL ‘PCIe-Core Audio Pipeline’ drivers
• Multi client divers – multiple audio applications appear in the mixer and access the I/O simultaneously
• Very high channel count, high sample rate recording & playback
• 2 x 64 channel optical MADI ports on half-length PCIe card
• 1x Wordclock Connector (Software controlled as Input or Output)
• Near Zero (4 samples) latency delivers ideal monitoring environment
• Full Automatic Delay Compensation (ADC) for VST Plug-Ins, I/O’s and external Processing/Conversion Delays
• Combine with SSL Alpha-Link audio format converters to create complete audio I/O solutions

Minimum System Requirements

Windows: Windows XP (SP2) or Vista (32-Bit) Intel or AMD Configuration with one free PCIe Slot

Note: PCIe (PCI Express) is not compatible with PCI or PCI-X

The Software Mixer

• Open architecture mixing environment; build your own mixer with mono, stereo or 5.1 channels and create routing and buss architecture
• Flexible routing architecture facilitates multiple headphone/artist monitor mixes, duplicated output feeds for multi-DAW recording or Mix Minus routing for broadcast applications
• On board DSP powers SSL console grade plug-ins for the SSL sound inside the box
• VST2.0 plug-in architecture supports a vast range of third party plug-ins
• Includes the SSL Soundscape Audio Toolbox plug-in bundle with; 4 Band Parametric EQ, Filter, Dynamics, Chorus/Flange, MS Decoder & Dither
• Support for SSL Soundscape DSP format plug-ins

Included plug-ins

• SSL Channel EQ - 4 band parametric EQ with E & G Series console characteristics
• SSL Channel Dynamics - The perfect transparent Compressor & Gate/Expander
• SSL Stereo Bus Compressor - The legendary G Series Stereo Bus Compressor
