Origin 16 Studio Mixing Console

Solid State Logic Origin 16

Bring legendary analog sound to your hybrid studio workflow with the Origin 16 Studio Mixing Console from SSL, an analog inline mixing desk for real console workflow in any studio. Harkening back to the coveted analog signal flow that made SSL consoles an inspirational studio centerpiece for countless classic recordings, the Origin 16 gives you access to some of SSL's most revered analog processors. Comprehensive channel strip controls including new PureDrive preamplifiers and the beloved E-Series 242 EQ enable precision signal shaping, while the ineffable SSL Bus Compressor and analog mix bus provide all the analog sauce you need to bring rich studio sound to a DAW-focused studio. All these esteemed tools are provided in a form factor fit for nearly any studio, with a flexible 19" rack section allowing for customizable expansion, and a small footprint that fits in a wide range of workspaces.

In each of the Origin 16's channel strips, your signal is treated to the flexible PureDrive preamplifier, a new design which leverages the clarity of SSL's earlier preamps while offering a switchable mode to invite warm harmonic saturation into the signal path. Shape signals to sculpt your perfect mix with the 4-Band E-Series 242 EQ, giving you variable cut and boost per band, high and low frequency bell/shelf switches, and independent HPF on each channel for powerful lows, punchy mids, and sizzling highs. Flexible signal flow makes it easy to use the Origin 16 to record to and sum from a DAW, providing a hands-on workflow that brings out the best of both analog and digital worlds. Insert points at both the large and small faders allow for incorporating all your favorite external processors, while direct outputs on each channel enable powerful multichannel recordings with the flexibility of digital post-production.

In the master section, control all 16 track busses with flexible routing, featuring a simple push button interface for efficient and intuitive routing control. Talkback and listen features, as well as dedicated monitoring sections let you command the session from the console. Four stereo returns are perfect for master bus processing, with a comprehensive mix bus control section for exacting control over your system. Last but certainly not least, the SSL Bus Compressor is onboard to add powerful dynamics control and limitless analog glue to your recordings, enhanced with new ratios, insert return, and built-in side chain filter. Made to make the most of SSLs analog magic in a hybrid studio, the Origin 16 provides exceptional value to small and upstart studios, with efficient power consumption from its unique Auto Sleep mode helping provide maximum audio performance with minimal operating cost. If you're looking to outfit your workspace with a professional console that celebrates the legacy of analog sound in a form factor fit for modern workflows, the Origin 16 from SSL is here to take your studio to the next level.
