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! Customer Reviews  Solid State Logic Does It Again Even If They're Brittish...   by Julian Taylor from SF Bay Area, CA USA, December 26, 2007 Music Background:  Mix Engineer, Keyboard Player, Sound Designer “I originally intended to purchase a Focusrite ISA428. I was convinced by Luke to get the SSL. When I plugged in my Roland Fantom to the DI amp I was blown away. The 3rd harmonic distortion adds a sonic character to your signal that is indescribable. I've used SSL 9000 J series boards before & the DI on the Alpha almost sounds better than the 9000 J DI to my ear. Thanks Luke, SSL, & sweetwater.” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review 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."
