An SSL Core to Build Your Studio Around!

The Solid State Logic Nucleus gives you a full-scale SSL console experience in a format (and at a price) that's more suitable to your edit suite or project studio. The Nucleus combines a 16-fader control surface with some of SSL's top-of-the-line analog technology - all in a single desktop unit that's loaded with useful functions. On the control surface side, the Nucleus gives you the feel and control you wouldn't expect from a compact model. It features two banks, each with eight channel sections. Each channel section has motorized 100mm faders, each with an encoder, a digital scribble strip, and several programmable soft buttons in line.

The Nucleus also features a master section, which includes transport controls, a comprehensive monitor/control room function, and additional soft buttons. Altogether, you get the control you need to keep your hands off of the mouse, your eyes on the screen, and your focus on the music. With the push of a button, you can change your DAW's entire layout or switch between three different DAWs running at once. Because the Nucleus supports both HUI and MCU via Ethernet, as well as standard MIDI over USB, you can use it with virtually any DAW. The Nucleus also enhances your workflow with other features, such as a built-in 4-port USB 2.0 hub and an SD card slot for storing your settings.

A pair of SuperAnalogue 9000K series microphone preamplifiers make the Nucleus an even more central part of your system. These award-winning preamplifiers are virtually identical to the ones in SSL's world-renown AWS series consoles and X-Rack modules. Each preamp on the Nucleus comes complete with 20dB pad, phantom power, phase reverse, hi-Z input, and highpass filter sections, as well as a balanced insert path. What's more, the Nucleus's preamps sport both balanced outputs and 24-bit/96kHz Alpha-link converters, so you can incorporate it into your system via analog or digital (optical Toslink or USB 2.0) connections.

What Makes a Product a "Demo"? At Sweetwater, "Demo" usually means one of the following: It might have spent a little time in our display room. A Sales Engineer may have put it through its paces to explain it to customers. It could have been tried out for a few days. We treat demo models exactly as we treat new gear. You get a full manufacturer's warranty, as well as Sweetwater's commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than it having been in someone's hands or hanging on a rack for a brief period of time, it's as good as new - at a great bargain! Please note that this product is available in limited or single quantities.
