Stunning Sound

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 sound huge. Vocals are clear and clean and sit very well on top of the mix. The EQs are classic G series EQs with more gain to them than the originals. The limiter is fine if you run very hot signals and is incredibly transparent even if you hit it hard (which I did by mistake recently). But one of the most amazing things to me is the A/D convertor. This is a very, very good A/D convertor that allows you to run up to 24/96 signals thru a SPDIF cable into your DAW. I use some of the very best A/D convertors in my studio and this hangs in there with them. An E series mic pre, a Duality VHD circuit, a G series EQ, a new SSL designed limiter and a A/D convertor for $1,200? The specs are killer (6 Hz to 250 kHz bandwidth) and the sound is pure SSL. No wonder it won the 2007 TEC award for mic pres.

Bought one recently. Blown away. So not long after that, I bought a second one. Not cheap, but not too expensive, and totally worth the money you're paying. Your music is gonna thank you for it.
