Bus Compressor
Iconic MixingAcross the entire mix bus of BiG SiX is the iconic G Series Bus Compressor, ready for adding drive, energy and complete sound to your productions.
Using identical circuit topology as the original design found on the SL 4000 G-Series console, the BiG SiX Bus Compressor has fixed 4:1 ratio, 30 ms attack and 100 ms release. These settings are the go-to for many SSL large format console users, who regularly use the Bus Compressor early on in a session and build the mix around it.
The BiG SiX Bus Compressor features the well known ‘Auto’ release setting, adding further versatility to this enhanced version of the legendary mixer.
SuperAnalogue Design
Ground Breaking TechnologyOriginally designed for the SL 9000 Series consoles to further enhance analogue performance, SuperAnalogueTM technology is at the core of BiG SiX and is fundamental to what makes the BiG SiX unique from other desk-top mixers.
SuperAnalogueTM technology is the result of an applied design philosophy, constant invention, and dedication to optimizing every detail of our precision audio products.
There are many contributing aspects, such as bespoke circuits, innovative low-noise gain control, servo-coupled amplifier stages, and much more.
Superior Sound & Verstility
USB interfaceBiG SiX features a class compliant USB 96 Khz / 24 bit interface to connect to a PC or MAC. The interface is paired with 16 premium A/D and D/A converters that are connected to the SuperAnalogueTM signal chain in BiG SiX. The first 12 channels are split across the first 12 inputs/outputs and can be switched pre/post fader. USB channels 13-16 route to/from External inputs and Master buses. Sends 9/10 and 11/12 can also be fed from the stereo cue buses. Perfect for additional ITB processing.
PreampsQuick, detailed and incredibly punchy. BiG SiX’s SuperAnalogueTM preamps can comfortably handle a wide range of microphones (including ribbon) thanks to their super wide gain range. Featuring a dedicated line input with Hi-Z, 48V, high pass filter and polarity switch, and can get the best out of your new and vintage instruments and line level sources.
Channel compressorSmooth, refine and add colour with classic SSL channel compression. The compressors program dependent attack time (8ms – 30ms), release time around 300ms and the subtle 2:1 ratio allows the compressor to work across a wide range of content and makes up one of the three compression styles the BiG SiX offers.
3 band SSL EQThe channel EQ on BiG SiX has its roots in SSL’s classic E series, matching its EQ curves on the widest setting. It is a broad stroke three-band design with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz, adjustable from +15 dB to -15 dB of gain and a fixed Mid Frequency control at 700 Hz. The HF and LF bands can be individually be switched between shelving and bell curves, and can be found on every channel of BiG SiX.
