Solid State Logic expands SSL 500 Series with two new modules
12th April 2021
British manufacturer Solid State Logic (SSL) has expanded its popular SSL 500 Series with two new modules, as well as giving the rest of the range a refresh.
The new UltraViolet Stereo EQ module takes the acclaimed minimum phase-shift Violet stereo EQ section from the new studio-favourite analogue processor Fusion, and puts it into the 500 series format. The module adds two dedicated mid-bands, with ‘Focus’ mode for precision EQ control.
Also new to the lineup is the SiX Channel module which is a single-width channel strip that brings the SuperAnalogue processing features from SSL’s compact SiX console to a smaller unit. The SiX Channel is a simple way to add additional mic/line inputs to the line level inputs of any pro audio device, including the Stereo channels of the SiX console.
TVN Tech | TV Inches Toward Audio Over IP
Television is slowly following radio into the adoption of audio over IP technology, but the transition has been hampered by infrastructure costs, the challenge of preventing audio latency and concerns over standards and security.

The COVID pandemic prompted growing broadcaster embrace of audio over internet protocol (AOIP) technology, but some parts of the workflow have posed challenges.
While AOIP technology has long been proven radio has been using it for years many broadcasters had yet to leap into the IP transition, partly due to the cost of changing out infrastructure. But vendors, often unable to publicly name their clients, say the technology “future-proofs” their investment while delivering flexibility and savings.

As a part of the relocation, to a larger, rural property about 20 miles west, Putney has installed a new 32-channel Solid State Logic ORIGIN analogue in-line mixing console, acquired from Vintage King.
Putney, known for his work with bands such as Every Time I Die, Body Count, Knocked Loose, The Amity Affliction, Stray From The Path, Counterparts, Terror and Northlane, has long mixed using a hybrid set-up. “I would mix out into pieces of gear that I’ve collected over the years and sum everything together back into the computer. The set-up ended up getting more and more complicated. Over time I was basically building a console piecemeal, with different summing mixers, and
