Solid State Logic Live Console Update

Solid State Logic has announced a new, comprehensive update to its SSL Live console range. SSL Live V6 adds a new effects suite, Dante routing enhancements, remote control updates and more. The new update brings acclaimed studio processing tools such as Fusion FX and Path Compressor Mix Control, used on countless hit records, to the stage via SSL Live. Sourcerer and Blitzer effect rack modules can now be controlled directly from the TaCo app.

SSL Live V6: New sonic colours

The onboard Fusion Effect Rack faithfully emulates the five key colour circuits found on the award-winning SSL Fusion rack mounted hardware: Vintage Drive, Violet EQ, HF Compressor, Stereo Image, and Transformer. These modules provide five colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to the mix bus or stereo stems. SSL has also added additional features found in the Fusion plug in series.

Meanwhile, parallel compression is now available on all channels and buses via the Path Compressor Mix Control, accessible directly from both the touch screen and hardware controls.

Seamless remote control of Sourcerer and Blitzer

With SSL Live V6 the TaCo app has been updated so users can gain full remote control over the popular Sourcerer and Blitzer effect rack modules directly from the app. The TaCo app provides wireless control of SSL Live consoles from iPad or Android devices and can be used anywhere in the venue or alongside the console.

Enhanced Dante Integration

The enhanced Dante Routing Modes in SSL Live V6 now include both the standard Showfile Saved mode, as well as a new Outside of Showfile mode. SSL Live includes full Dante routing directly from the console, and users can choose to store routes within the showfile or configure them as independent, system-wide Dante routes. This effectively transforms the console into a powerful Dante controller, enabling seamless management of system-level routing across the network. Now with Live V6 users can create Dante routes that persist even after the console is powered down or a different showfile is loaded, ensuring uninterrupted system operation.

Also, a new ‘Dante Allowed Device List’ lets users control and manage which Dante devices are visible and routable on the console. This is ideal in many applications such as fixed installations, where freelance engineers may be authorised to access the console routing, but perhaps not other resources that may be restricted.

The new V6 update also includes a System Set Minimum virtual tie line counts, which streamlines showfile routing for fixed installations. Even if a loaded showfile specifies a lower number of tie lines, the system will enforce this minimum, preserving ‘house set’ connections that guest engineers cannot alter.

SSL Live V6 will be available in January 2025 as a free download for the entire console range. For more information, please visit: https://bit.ly/SSLLiveTouringEvents
