We believe it´s just to change a few cards? is it? |
The biggest difference between a G and G+ are;
1) The Bob Clearmountain aux mods
2) The center section with the surround facilities
3) The famous oxygen free cabling
Other than that its pretty much the same as a G.
Personally i've never ever used a center section on SSL that i thought was transparent enough to monitor on until i heard the 9000K.
Its the weakest link sonic wise.
Even if you recap it and change the master volume control it will still sound slodgy.
Especially on a 6000 which has a ton of useless crap in it.
Your best bet although not a popular one to some studio owners is to buy a really good external monitoring section and monitor off that which enables you to bypass the entire center section altogether.
I've carried one to SSL rooms i worked in for years and when i had a 6000 it was the first thing i did(that and modding the mixbuss section so it bypasses the mix-minus matrix).
It totally opens up the sound.
And best of all you can actually trust what you are hearing.
