Solid State Logic Super 9000 - The epitome of modern SSL sound
Superior punch and clarity with true SuperAnalogue™ power. The SSL Super 9000 is an uncompromising analog channel strip that brings the legendary sound of the 9000 series into a compact 1U rack unit. Featuring SuperAnalogue™ technology, a dual mic preamp, flexible EQ and dynamics sections, and advanced routing architecture, it delivers the unmatched combination of precision, punch, and transparency that defines the modern SSL sound.
The legend of the 9000 series lives on
Since the 1990s, the SSL 9000 series has been the benchmark for professional music production. From Dr. Dre to Metallica to Beyoncé, artists and producers worldwide rely on its distinctive, open, and detailed sound. With the Super 9000, SSL revives this legacy, refined with state-of-the-art analogue circuitry and optimized dynamics processors for the studio, live setups, or broadcast environments.
SuperAnalogue™ technology - precision without compromise
At the heart of the Super 9000 is the SuperAnalogue™ signal architecture, designed for ultra-low distortion, maximum transparency, and the widest frequency bandwidth. The result is a sound so open and three-dimensional that it feels as if you are standing right in the recording room.
Two Preamps - One Mission: Character & Clarity
Choose between the SuperAnalogue™ preamp for maximum purity or the VHD™ circuit for harmonic coloration and saturation. The input flip function lets you conveniently send line signals through the VHD stage to add analog character to tracks, perfect for DAW stems or instrument signals.
Full dynamics - control meets punch
The integrated SSL dynamics section with THAT 2181A VCA compressor offers all the familiar SSL modes: Fast Attack, Peak Detect, Hold control, and a classic expander/gate with variable hysteresis behavior. The dynamics can also be placed before or after the EQ for maximum flexibility in the signal flow.
Legendary SSL EQs - G or E, you decide
The Super 9000 combines the most popular SSL tones: the 292 G-Series (Pink Knob) for smooth, musical sound shaping or the 242 E-Series (Black Knob) for precise, surgical tweaks. With switchable mid bands, bell/shelf options, and flexible high/low pass filters, the Super 9000 offers an unparalleled range of sound-shaping possibilities.
