Solid State Logic Fusion – Demo, som ny

New colours from the masters of analogue.
Fusion er en all-analog 2U stereo outboard processor udviklet til det moderne hybrid studie. Fusion introducerer fem helt nye analoge værktøjer, der er designet til at give den perfekte kombination af ekstra tonal karakter, vægt og plads til din mixbus eller stereo stems med detaljer, varme og finesse, som kun virkelige analoge kredsløb kan give.
SSL-sonic-arven bygger på meget efterlignede analoge lydbehandlingsværktøjer, der har været brugt i generationer af studiekonsoller; fantastiske mic pre’s, klassiske Channel EQ & Dynamics, den legendariske Stereo Bus Compressor, Listen Mic Compressor og den unikke SSL Summing Bus.
Fusion tager SSL i en ny æra med indførelsen af en række nye analoge værktøjer til behandling, der giver enestående tonal karakter og alsidighed. Fusion udvider paletten til hybridstudieejere og er en fantastisk partner til SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.

Fusion features five analogue processors that can be used discretely or combined:

SSL Fusion Vintage Drive
Vintage Drive
Vintage Drive – is a unique non-linear harmonic enhancement circuit that brings cohesion and strength to your mix. Drive and Density controls interact to produce harmonic saturation and soft compression derived from overloading an analogue circuit. It can be used lightly for subtle thickening saturation or driven hard for more extreme distortion.

SSL Fusion Violet EQ
The Violet EQ
The SSL Violet EQ – an all-new minimum phase-shift, two-band shelving EQ. The first new SSL analogue EQ circuit for more than 25 years draws on the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies and response curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ designed to quickly dial in low-end weight and high-end sheen. High and Low frequency circuits each offer four switched frequency points and +/-9dB attenuation.

SSL Fusion HF Compressor
HF Compressor
A new High Frequency Compressor delivers the distinctive sound of high frequency rounding in the analogue domain. A compressor that effects high frequencies only, optimised for smooth and transparent harshness reduction and a tape-like high-frequency roll off – great for taming brittle high frequency fizz.

SSL Fusion Stereo-Image
Stereo Image
A new Stereo Image enhancer provides a true analogue Mid-Side circuit that manipulates the Side signal, allowing for widening and spatial manipulation of the stereo field.

SSL Fusion Transformer
Transformer
A switched, custom-designed SSL Transformer circuit introduces subtle low-frequency saturation, alongside a high-frequency phase-shift. The result is a simultaneous thickening of the low-end and an added sparkle to the high-end.
Expertly designed for today’s hybrid studio

SSL has also always been known for clever connectivity and features that streamline and accelerate production workflow. Fusion fits right in with a collection of workflow enhancing features including: +/-12dB Input and Output Trim controls, an Input overload LED, large peak-hold metering, a front-end 3rd order High Pass Filter with three selectable cut off frequencies, and tri-colour status indicators for the Vintage Drive and HF Comp sections. A set of XLR connections can be used either as a Stereo Insert for stereo mix bus processing or switched to function as a Mid-Side (MS) circuit enabling separate compressors or EQ to be applied to the middle (centre) and sides of a stereo signal. In Stereo Insert mode the insert point can be switched to pre-Violet EQ, when in MS mode the insert can be switched to pre-Stereo Image controls. Input and Output connections are via XLR.
