A Versatile SSL Preamp!
The SSL Xlogic Alpha VHD preamp gives you the flexibility to track transparent, clear audio, or add sonic character ranging from warm to raging. Four premium SSL preamps (with up to 75dB of gain) are on board the Alpha VHD, combined with a Variable Harmonic Drive circuit that will make this unit an incredibly versatile part of your signal chain. You already know SSL's products feature quality and reliablity that's second to none; now get some of that great SSL sound for yourself with the Alpha VHD preamp!

SSL Xlogic Alpha VHD 4-channel Preamp at a glance:

SSL quality and innovation
Variable Harmonic Drive
An array of controls

SSL quality and innovation
Based on the VHD circuit from SSL's Duality console, the VHD Pre adds four SSL mic preamps to any line level DAW audio interface, transforming it into a professional quality, multi-channel analogue recording system. These preamps provide up to 75dB of gain, so everything from robust line-level instruments to delicate ribbon mics will benefit.

Variable Harmonic Drive
The preamps are combined with independent Variable Harmonic Drive circuits that use 100% analog signal paths to generate rich harmonic distortion - adding SSL analogue attitude to your digital recordings. As you increase the input gain, the Variable Harmonic Drive circuit introduces a blendable mix of 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion to your source material, taking it from gentle tube-style warmth to transistorized clipping. It's a new world of overdriven possibilities.

Control
You get an array of controls, including illuminated 20dB pad switches, Hi-Z switches, individual input, output, and Variable Harmonic Drive controls for each channel. You can really take control of your signal and add character with this preamp.

SSL Xlogic Alpha VHD 4-channel Preamp Features:

Ultra-clean SSL preamp with 75dB of gain
48V phantom power
20dB pad switches that illuminate to indicate overload
Hi-Z switches to accommodate mic, line and instrument level signals
Four independent Variable Harmonic Drive systems
Front panel 1/4" jack instrument/line level inputs with passive DI type impedance detection and level matching
Individual input, output and VHD controls for each section
Rear panel XLR mic/line inputs and XLR output

The SSL Xlogic Alpha VHD preamp lets you add as much color to your sound as you want!

Great Addition

“I own and use Universal Audio and Vintech, Avalon, DBX, and Presonus pre's...the SSL Alpha is a whole other beast. Very strong in character, big iron sound, the VHD knob is insane...just a great addition to an already strong arsenal. Thanks Mark Magdich and Sweetwater for continuing to make my musical life better!
Ron Zabrocki”

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"We have all seen circuitry attempts claiming to emulate tubes and transformers before. The Alpha VHD really does work and is incredibly versatile - capable of clean and open as well as aggressive and compressed. One of the coolest drum pres available." Trip Irish
