The Sound of Modern Music: Solid State Logic launch the Super 9000 SuperAnalogue™ Channel Strip.
Ultra-low distortion, exceptional punch and breathtaking clarity – the Super 9000 delivers SSL’s renowned SuperAnalogue™ sound, the sonic signature behind some of the greatest music since the mid-90s.
Recognised for its depth and transparency, the 9000 Series consoles pioneered SSL’s SuperAnalogue™ technology, paving the way for the Duality and recently launched Oracle ‘Future Analogue’ consoles. It brought deep, extended low end and super-smooth highs to hip-hop and R&B, made rock and pop mixes sound bigger than ever, and added a new level of punch and precision to electronic music.
Now, the Super 9000 channel strip brings the same professional polish into a single 1U channel strip. SuperAnalogue™ technology creates a signal path so transparent and wide bandwidth that nothing is lost, putting the engineer right there in the room with the artist. It’s key design elements include a super-wide audio bandwidth, a ruler-flat frequency response, ultra-low transient intermodulation distortion, the absence of electrolytic capacitors in the audio path, extremely low noise and harmonic distortion, and exceptionally low phase shift across the audible spectrum.
The result is unmatched punch, definition, and a larger-than-life sound stage—qualities that define the modern “SSL sound” and are why SuperAnalogue™ consoles remain the professional’s choice for music production.
The Super 9000 features our quintessential modern dynamics section, delivering ultimate control and punch. Built around the high-performance THAT 2181A VCA, the compressor includes a switchable Fast Attack mode and the Peak Detect option—first introduced on the SL 9000 console and carried through to the Duality series. It also incorporates SSL’s classic Expander/Gate section with variable hysteresis built into the Threshold, plus a HOLD control for precise gate and downward expansion management. Additionally, Super 9000 allows the dynamics section to be moved Pre and Post EQ.
