Solid State Logic - 'Fusion'
Analogue Stereo Outboard Processor
6 Analogue Colours & Limitless CharacteristicsFusion is an all-analogue 2U stereo outboard processor created for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion offers six completely new analogue colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse that only real analogue circuits can provide.
The SSL sonic legacy is built upon a much-emulated collection of analogue audio processing tools that have featured in generations of studio consoles; crystal clear mic pre’s, classic Channel EQ & Dynamics, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, the Listen Mic Compressor, and the unique SSL summing bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new level with the introduction of a suite of new analogue processing tools that offer incredible characteristics and versatility. Fusion expands the processing palette for hybrid studio owners and is a superb partner for the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.
Expertly Designed Hor Modern Hybrid Studios
Improved WorkflowSSL are known for clever connectivity and features that streamline and improve production workflow. The Fusion fits right in with a range 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/LMC 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 allowing for 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.
SSL Fusion Vintage Drive
Vintage DriveVintage Drive is a unique non-linear harmonic enhancement circuit that enhances your mix whilst adding power and dynamics. Drive and Density controls work to produce harmonic saturation and subtle compression often found when overloading an analogue circuit. It can be used for slight thickening saturation or can be pushed harder for more extreme distortion.
SSL Fusion Violet EQ
The Violet EQThe SSL Violet EQ is an all-new minimum phase-shift, two-band shelving EQ. The first new SSL analogue EQ circuit for more than a quarter of a century draws on the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies and response curves to offer a musical and easy-to-use EQ designed to quickly dial in low-end weight and high-end sheen. High and Low frequency circuits each provide four switched frequency points and +/-9dB attenuation.
SSL Fusion HF Compressor
HF CompressorA new High Frequency Compressor provides a distinctive sound of high frequency rounding in the analogue area. A compressor that effects high frequencies only, made for smooth and transparent reduction of harshness and a tape-like high-frequency roll off, ideal for carefully reducing brittle high frequency fizz.
SSL Fusion Full Band LMC
Mic Compressor w/ Wet/Dry ControlSSL R&D team have unveiled a secret hidden 6th processor available in ALL Fusion's. To access the hidden 6th LMC processor, hold down the HF Compressor ‘in’ button for 5 seconds and unlock full band LMC mode. X-Over works as a wet/dry parallel mix control.
SSL Fusion Stereo-Image
Stereo ImageA new Stereo Image enhancer gives you a true analogue Mid-Side circuit that controls the Side signal, allowing for widening and spatial manipulation of the stereo field.
SSL Fusion Transformer
TransformerA switched, custom-designed SSL Transformer circuit introduces subtle low-frequency saturation, alongside a high-frequency phase-shift. Resulting in a simultaneous thickening of the low-end and an added sparkle to the high-end.
