3.Dynamics to (DYN TO)switches

a.BYPASS will bypass the entire dynamics section. Note that selecting BYPASS does not result in a signal which is flat, but rather one which mimics the flat response of the SSL channel strip hardware.

b.CH OUT moves the dynamics to the output of the E-Channel, making it post-EQ.

SSL E EQ Section Controls (top to bottom)

1.Low and High Pass filters (white knobs):

Low pass: 18 dB/octave, 15 Hz – 350 Hz (-3 dB point)

High pass: 12 dB/octave, 3 kHz – 20 kHz (-3 dB point) Turning the knob completely to the left bypasses the filter.

When SPLIT is selected, the low pass and high pass filters are placed before the dynamics processors in the chain.

2.High frequency EQ section (red knobs): Range 1.5 kHz – 16 kHz. Gain range is ±18 dB for bell shape, ±16.5 dB for shelving. Selecting BELL changes the HF EQ from shelf to bell shape.

3.High medium frequency EQ section (green knobs): Range 600 Hz – 7 kHz. As in the LMF EQ section, Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3.5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0.1.

4.Low medium frequency EQ section (blue knobs): Range 200 Hz – 2.5 kHz. Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3.5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0.1.

5.Low frequency EQ section (black knobs): Range 30 Hz – 450 Hz. Gain range ±16.5 dB, shelving, ±18 dB, bell shape.

SSL G EQ Section Controls (top to bottom)

1.Low and High Pass filters (white knobs):

Low pass: 18 dB/octave, 15 Hz – 350 Hz (-3 dB point)

High pass: 12 dB/octave, 3 kHz – 20 kHz (-3 dB point) Turning the knob completely to the left bypasses the filter.

When SPLIT is selected, the low pass and high pass filters are placed before the dynamics processors in the chain.

2.High frequency EQ section (red knobs): Range 1.5 kHz – 16 kHz. Gain range is ±17 dB shelving.

3.High medium frequency EQ section (green knobs): Range 600 Hz – 7 kHz. As in the LMF EQ section, Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3.5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0.1. Pushing the HMF X3 will multiply the frequency by 3.

4.Low medium frequency EQ section (blue knobs): Range 200 Hz – 2.5 kHz. Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3.5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0.1. Pushing the LMF /3 will divide the frequency by 3.

5.Low frequency EQ section (black knobs): Range 30 Hz – 450 Hz. Gain range ±17 dB, shelving.

6.EQ TO switches

a.BYPASS This button bypasses the EQ section. Note that selecting BYPASS does not result in a signal which is flat, but rather one which mimics the flat response of the SSL channel strip hardware.

b.DYN S-CThe filters can be switched into the dynamics sidechain to afford simple de-essing, etc. by selecting DYN S-C .
