SSL Solid State Logic BIGSIX 12-Channel SuperAnalogue Mixing Interface

The SSL BIGSIX is a premium hybrid production mixer that fuses the heritage of SSL’s iconic large-format studio consoles with modern workflow flexibility. Built on the renowned SuperAnalogue foundation, it delivers pristine audio quality, low noise performance, and professional-grade processing throughout. With the G-Series Bus Compressor, E-Series EQ, SuperAnalogue mic press, and comprehensive routing and monitoring options, BIGSIX brings true SSL studio capability directly to your desktop.

Evolved Design with Expanded Capability:

Building on the success and community feedback of the original SiX, the BIGSIX significantly enhances capacity and functionality across every section. It features four SuperAnalogue mic press, four stereo line inputs with dual-mono switching, 3-band E-Series EQ on every channel, classic SSL channel dynamics, and dual independent headphone outputs with a flexible source matrix. This evolution transforms the BIGSIX into the ideal centerpiece for creators, producers, and engineers requiring more power and versatility.

Flexible Workflow for Any Production Scenario:

Whether you're tackling music production, streaming, content creation, mixing, or post-production, BIGSIX adapts seamlessly to any workflow. The advanced routing capabilities, professional-grade faders, and extensive monitoring controls give you total authority over your signal chain. With 18 channels of analogue summing at mixdown, you can enjoy the depth, width, and cohesion reminiscent of large SSL consoles.

Legendary SSL Bus Compressor & Channel Processing:

At the core of BIGSIX’s sound is the legendary G-Series Bus Compressor, using the exact circuit topology of the original SL 4000 consoles. Its fixed 4:1 ratio, 30 MS attack, and 100 MS release deliver the signature punch and glue that SSL compressors are known for, enhanced by the iconic ‘Auto’ release mode. Each channel also features classic SSL compression and 3-band E-Series EQ, offering smooth dynamics control, tonal shaping, and professional polish.

Professional USB Interface & High-Performance Preamps:

BIGSIX integrates a class-compliant 96 kHz / 24-bit USB interface with 16 channels of A/D and D/A conversion tied directly into the SuperAnalogue signal path. Channels can be routed pre/post fader, with USB 13–16 dedicated to external inputs or master buses. Its SuperAnalogue mic preamps deliver fast, detailed, and punchy performance, complete with Hi-Z, 48V, high-pass filter, and polarity control—ensuring exceptional recording quality for microphones, instruments, and line-level sources.
