SSL Live consoles are designed to help highly skilled operators deliver outstanding performances in the most demanding applications in touring, installation, houses of worship and theatre. Like all SSL consoles the secret to the success of the L200 is SSL’s dedication to great sound. Part of the success is attributable to exemplary hardware performance throughout the signal chain: bringing SSL Studio grade mic pre’s to the stage, outstanding audio conversion, 96kHz operation and magnificent summing. There is a sublime transparency, definition and detail in the fundamental sound of the L200 that is difficult to describe but is immediately recognizable as the SSL signature. An equal, perhaps even greater part of the secret of the power of the L200 is however the way it enables operators to perform at their very best. The deceptively simple ergonomic excellence of the combination of multi-touch screen control with assignable hardware controls, the use of color coding, the open architecture which lets engineers configure the console layout to suit their own way of working, the arsenal of processing options, the precision and depth of those processing tools and so much more, it all combines to let the operator get where they can hear they want to be extremely quickly. Like all great creative audio technology, SSL Live consoles are instruments for engineers.
