SOLID STATE LOGIC FUSION 19" Processor - Analog Stereo External Processor

Fusion introduces six entirely new analog coloring tools designed to bring the perfect combination of extra tonal character, power, and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth, and finesse that only real analog circuitry can provide.

SSL's sonic legacy is built on a beloved collection of analog audio processing tools that have been used in generations of studio consoles: crystal-clear mic preamps, classic EQ and channel dynamics processing, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, Listen Mic Compressor, and the unique SSL Summation Bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new era with the introduction of a suite of new analog processing tools that offer exceptional tonal character and versatility. Fusion expands the processing palette for hybrid studio owners and is a superb partner for SSL's stereo bus compressor.

Introduction of the 5 new coloring tools:

VINTAGE DRIVE

A unique nonlinear harmonic enhancement circuit that brings

cohesion and strength to your mix. The drive and

density controls interact to produce harmonic saturation and

soft compression derived from the overdrive of an analog circuit. It

can be used lightly for subtle saturation or conversely

for more extreme distortion.

VIOLET EQ

The first new SSL analog EQ circuit in over

25 years builds on the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies and

response curves to create a musical and

intuitive EQ designed to dial in lows and highs quickly.

The high and low frequency circuits each offer four switched

frequency points and +/-9dB attenuation.

HF COMPRESSOR

A new high-frequency compressor offers the distinctive sound of

high-frequency rounding in the analog domain. A compressor that

affects only the high frequencies, optimized for smooth

and transparent hardness reduction, and high-frequency attenuation

in band form, ideal for taming overly harsh high frequencies and trebles

.

STEREO IMAGE

A new stereo image enhancer provides a true

analog Mid-Side circuit that manipulates the Side signal, allowing the stereo field to be expanded and

changed in space.

TRANSFORMER

This custom-designed, switched SSL transformer circuit

introduces subtle low-frequency saturation, as well as

high-frequency phase shift. The result is a subtle saturation

at the low frequencies, to simultaneously give body to the

lows and brilliance to the highs.
