SSL Solid State Logic Fusion

The SSL Solid State Logic Fusion Stereo Processor is a fully analogue 2U stereo outboard processor from SSL designed for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion introduces 5x all-new analogue "colouring" tools designed to create the perfect combination of more character, weight and space for your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse only true analogue circuits can provide.

The SSL sound legacy is based on a replica collection of analogue audio processing tools used in generations of studio consoles: flawless microphone pre-amps, classic Channel EQ & Dynamics, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, the Listen Mic Compressor and the unique SSL Summing Bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new era with the introduction of a range of new analogue processing tools that offer exceptional sonic character and versatility. Fusion expands the processing range for hybrid studio operators and is an excellent partner for the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.

Vintage Drive
Vintage Drive is a unique non-linear harmonic amplifier circuit that gives cohesion and strength to your mix. The drive and density controls work together to produce harmonic saturation and smooth compression resulting from the overload of an analogue circuit. It can easily be used for a subtle thickening saturation or hard driven for more extreme distortions.

SSL Violet EQ
The SSL Violet EQ is a completely new, 2-band shelving EQ with minimal phase shift. The first new analogue SSL EQ circuit in more than 25 years uses the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies and frequency curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ designed to quickly and easily adjust low-end weight and high-end shine. High and low frequency circuits each offer four switching frequency points and +/-9dB attenuation.

HF Compressor
A new high-frequency compressor delivers the unmistakable sound of high-frequency rounding in the analogue range. A high-frequency-only Compressor optimized for a smooth and transparent roughness reduction and a band-like high-frequency roll off - ideal for taming brittle high-frequency fizz.

Stereo Image
A new Stereo Image Enhancer provides a true analogue mid-side circuit that manipulates the side signal and allows for expansion and spatial manipulation of the stereo field.

Transformer
A switched, specially developed SSL transformer circuit introduces high frequency phase shift and subtle low frequency saturation. The result is a simultaneous thickening of the low-end and an additional gloss for the high-end.
