Congratulations on your purchase of the SSL Console Bundle, the real SSL processing solution for your SSL Mixer V6 or SSL Soundscape V6 Software.

As youʼre sat here reading this, the chances are high that you have a pretty good understanding of who we are and our outstanding reputation in audio recording technology.

How did we get here?

Well, there were no great plans to make SSL into a major manufacturer of mixing consoles when it all started back in the seventies - the company began with nothing more than an enthusiasm for music and the concept of recording.

Along the way that spirit, coupled with a passion for excellence in music recording tools, helped build a multi-million dollar international business. SSLʻs HQ may be a little bigger now than it was in the seventies, but passion and innovation still lies at its heart.

Building on the technology of the former Soundscape Audio Workstation, whose parent company Sydec we acquired in 2006, we decided to embark on a technology project to include the SSL Mixing and processing facilities on a PCIe Audio Card, useable right inside the SSL Soundscape V6 DAW and also inside a standalone virtual Mixing Console (SSL Mixer Software), enabling any PC DAW User to benefit from the abilities of an SSL Console „in the box“.

So the SSL MX4 Card was born, enabling demanding DAW users, who donʼt have the budget (or the floor space!) required to install a large- format SSL console, to entirely mix „in the box“ with the workflow benefits and Sonic DNA, that made SSL famous.

The Double Precision Algorithms of the SSL Console Bundle Plug-Ins give you the true SSL Sound, not available from any other manufacturer than SSL.

With 128 Ins and Outs per Card and a truly powerful realtime DSP Engine with the latest generation DSP and Processing Plug-Ins, based on the digital technology behind SSLʼs C-Series consoles, MX4 delivers the complete SSL mix experience – powerful channel EQʻs/Filters, Channel Dynamics and the legendary Bus Compressor, all useable with class leading low latency performance to form a complete system for Tracking/Monitoring, Mixing (including fine Outboard Gear), all tightly integrated into the heart of a DAW based production.

The SSL Console Bundle Plug-Ins gives you the tools to get the sound heard on 90% of all Hit Records from the past 3 decades.

We hope you will enjoy recording and mixing your music with the SSL Console Bundle and your MX4.

Please store your MX4 User Registration Card in a safe place, since it contains the Authorisation Codes for the Console Bundle.
