Big Console Sound in a Compact Desktop Mixer
The Solid State Logic BiG SiX is a powerful 12-channel SuperAnalogue mixing console and 16x16 USB audio interface, delivering professional SSL sound in a desktop-friendly format. Expanding on the success of the SiX, this mixer integrates features from SSL’s large-format consoles, offering flexible routing, high-quality mic preamps, and versatile onboard processing. Whether used in a studio or on stage, BiG SiX provides exceptional clarity, warmth, and control for recording, mixing, and summing applications.
Four SuperAnalogue Mic Preamps for Pristine Sound
BiG SiX features four mono channels, each equipped with SSL’s renowned SuperAnalogue mic preamps, delivering up to 72 dB of gain, ultra-low noise, and transparent audio performance. Each mono channel includes switchable 48V phantom power, polarity inversion, a high-pass filter, and a line/Hi-Z input, making it suitable for microphones, instruments, and line-level sources. Whether capturing vocals, guitars, or synths, these preamps provide the precision and punch SSL is known for.
Onboard SSL EQ and Compression for Powerful Processing
Each mono channel is outfitted with SSL’s updated 3-band EQ, modeled after the iconic E-Series, offering broad tonal shaping with shelving and bell modes. The single-knob channel compressor ensures quick and effective dynamic control, adapting automatically to different sources while maintaining level balance. Additionally, balanced insert points on each mono channel allow seamless integration of outboard gear, expanding the creative potential of this compact yet powerful mixer.
Professional-Grade Summing and SSL Bus Compression
With 18-input summing at mixdown, BiG SiX delivers a premium summing experience, providing depth and cohesion to mixes. The built-in SSL G-Series Bus Compressor, a legendary staple in SSL consoles, enhances mixes with the signature “glue” that tightens and controls dynamics effortlessly. The mix bus also includes a pre-fader insert point and an alternate B bus, perfect for parallel processing and additional routing options.
Flexible Monitoring and Talkback System
BiG SiX is designed to function as the central hub of a studio or live setup, offering a comprehensive monitoring section with two sets of speaker outputs, mono sum, dim, and mute controls. The talkback system includes an XLR mic input with phantom power, an adjustable level control, and SSL’s famed Listen Mic Compressor (LMC), which adds character to vocals or instruments. Two independent cue sends with foldback outputs ensure artists and engineers have precise monitoring control during recording sessions.
High-Quality USB Interface for Seamless DAW Integration
Equipped with a 16x16 USB-C audio interface, BiG SiX provides pristine 24-bit/96 kHz conversion, allowing seamless integration with digital audio workstations. With full multitrack recording and playback capabilities, users can capture and mix directly from their DAW while taking advantage of the SSL analog workflow. The mixer also features mix bus inject functionality, enabling cascading with additional SiX or BiG SiX mixers for expanded channel counts.
