What is Duality?
Duality is an evolutionary combination of super analogue console and DAW controller from Solid State Logic. It
draws on years of design experience, and incorporates industry standard features from SSL’s range of large
format music consoles.
Design Concepts
Duality combines technology from SSL’s acclaimed music console, the XL 9000 K Series with new design
concepts which faithfully recreate the overload characteristics of valve circuitry. It retains all of the sonic
benefits of SuperAnalogue™ capacitor-free servo coupled circuitry, then adds variable harmonic colouration on
a channel by channel basis, contained within a control surface which will be familiar to any recording engineer
who has previously used SSL consoles.
