SSL Mynx + XR626 Stereo Bus Compressor #1360 (Used)

SSSL’s modular X-Rack/Mynx SuperAnalogue™ mixing and processing system receives two new additions to the range of modules available. The new modules lovingly reproduce the legendary sonic signature of the early 80’s classic, the SSL 4000 E console channel strip that featured so heavily on countless 1980’s recordings. The SSL E Series EQ Module features both of the EQ characteristics found on the classic 4000 E; the uniquely smooth ‘Brown’ EQ response characteristics and the sharper ‘Black’ response curves. The ‘Brown’ EQ sound was featured on the recently discontinued SSL E-Signature Channel Strip so is now uniquely available on the E Series EQ Module.

The SSL E Series Dynamics Module features a Compressor/Limiter and an Expander/Gate, both of which return faithfully to the circuitry and key components which defined the sound of the original SL 611E Series channel strip. A true RMS converter is used in the side chain whilst the gain element is an all discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit. The compressor contains additional switching options to defeat the over-easy curve and to use a linear release instead of the more usual logarithmic curve. The result is a compressor with three distinct voices, each with its own musical character.

SSL Mynx is a simple, elegant and cost effective way to get the depth, clarity and characteristic sound of SSL SuperAnalogue™ processing into your recordings. Mynx is a cool desktop mini X-Rack that allows you to load your choice from the X-Rack module range into a simple two module desktop box.

Using identical circuit design and manufacturing to our Duality and AWS 900+ consoles, X-Rack is a modular system that delivers the legendary SSL SuperAnalogue sound in a uniquely versatile form. There are eight different modules in the range designed to complement your DAW and improve the results you get from the recording process. The X-Rack system enables you to combine different modules to create a range of recording and mixing tools; Combine the ‘SuperAnalogue™ Mic Pre’ & ‘Dynamics’ modules for a pristine front end recording system for vocals. Slot in the ‘EQ’ & ‘Dynamics’ modules for versatile and characteristic SSL channel strip processing. Add the ‘VHD Input’ module to inject analogue warmth or grit. Use ‘Master Bus’ & ‘Line Input’ modules for summing and monitoring. Or fit the ‘Stereo Bus Compressor’ module for legendary ‘audio glue’ full mix compression. Or fit a ‘Master Bus’ & ‘Line Input’ modules to create a analogue monitor and foldback system for your studio.

Mynx is a rugged metal enclosure made from 4mm thick extruded aluminium. It measures a mere 106mm x 192mm x 186mm and has two X-Rack Module capacity. Power supply to the modules is via an external supply and audio connections are made directly to the back of your selected modules.
