Another redundant question once you get your hands on the SSL XLogic Alpha Channel! With all the features needed to record great vocal or instrument tracks every time, the Alpha Channel offers a recording solution based on SSL's years of experience in designing the world's leading analog recording consoles. The superior sonic fidelity, quality and attention to detail that have established SSL as the worlds leading audio console manufacturer here in the XLogic Alpha Channel.

  • Studio-class EQ, filter and limiter sections

World-class SSL Analog Sound for your DAW
Building upon the exceptional success of the XLogic range of analog rack processors, the XLogic Alpha Channel is poised to bring the elusive SSL 'sound' to a whole new generation of producers and engineers. With all the features needed to record great vocal or instrument tracks, the Alpha Channel offers a studio class mic pre and processing based on SSL's years of experience in designing the world's leading analog recording consoles. A huge proportion of the music you know and love was recorded on SSL, renowned for the superior audio qualities you've heard on countless hit records. That elusive sonic ingredient is in the Alpha Channel.

Pro Mic Preamp
Alpha Channel offers the classic combination of a studio-class mic preamp, high-pass filter, parametric EQ, analog to digital conversion as standard and 'Lite Limit' limiting. The preamp is ultra-clean as only SSL can offer, and features line-level and Hi-Z instrument input switches, so you can record your guitar, bass, keyboards, and etc direct through your gold SSL channel into your DAW via analog or digital outputs. The Alpha Channel preamp section also offers the features any pro would expect including 48V phantom power, phase invert switches.

Studio-class EQ, Filter and Limiter
The processing section of the XLogic Alpha Channel features a 3-band SSL parametric EQ with mid frequency Q control and dual LF curves, plus a high-pass filter with selectable 40Hz, 80Hz or 120Hz cut-off frequency. To keep your input signal from distorting or overloading the built-in limiter features intelligent auto-limiting that maximizes recording headroom and avoids DAC clipping. If SSL processing onboard isn't enough for you, the XLogic Alpha Channel has an insert send/return system with sync for additional processing, insert sum, or multi unit cascade so you can have a stereo gold channel of SSL or more.

Variable Harmonic Drive Circuit
The SSL XLogic Alpha Channel also features the unique SSL 'VHD' (Variable Harmonic Drive) circuit that adds SSL's classic analog sound to DAW recordings by offering controlled 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion. With its combination of tube-style 2nd harmonic or transistor-style 3rd harmonic degradation, VHD is like a time machine of distortion characteristics.


Solid State Logic XLogic Alpha Channel Features:
  • Professional ultra-clean mic preamp with line level & Hi Z instrument input switches
  • 48V Phantom Power And Phase Invert Switches
  • Variable Harmonic Drive circuit; a "Time Machine" of distortion characteristics
  • High-pass filter with selectable 40Hz, 80Hz or 120Hz cut-off frequency
  • Insert send/return system with sync for additional processing, insert sum or multi unit cascade
  • Built-in professional quality analog to digital conversion - as standard
  • Auto sample rate sensing and self-adjustment
  • Three band SSL parametric EQ with mid frequency Q control and dual LF curves
  • Intelligent auto limiting that maximizes recording headroom and avoids DAC clipping

All great-sounding recordings have to start somewhere... start yours with world-class analog SSL sound with the XLogic Alpha Channel for your DAW!

 Stunning Sound  
by Studio Dude from Olympia, WA, November 26, 2007
Music Background:  Recording Engineer


“I own a pair of these as a major part of the audio pathway for mastering. Amazing SSL sound. Has vastly improved the presence and emotional impact of the music I have put thru these. Excellent for mic preamp use too. VERY powerful gain that is clean as a whistle or dial them up and bring in the VHD harmonic distortion component to the initial gain structure. Hi Z inputs make bass guitars and keys...” Read More
