NEW SSL Digital desk for music!!

burimbi · 14th June 2006

This should be the new digital desk from SSL, a prototype installed at Peter Gibriel personal studio...
I was give this pic by a friend who me told a famous Italian gear manufacturer who sold some stuff to realworld studios shoot it... so it must be legit!!

Any info about it???

That looks like an SSL AWS900 (http://www.solid-state-logic.com/music/aws900.html), nothing new about that. The new version has already seen the daylight, the AWS900+.

(and not digital, but analogue)

The MPCist · 15th June 2006

Yep, it IS the AWS900.

Ummm...Been living under a rock?

Crandall1 · 15th June 2006

Yeah, I remember my first post.

anyone know if that's really his personal studio?

SnakeCained · 15th June 2006

Shame I got all excited tutt

What will we see, desk wise, from SSL in the near future? Any ideas?

The picture you mean? I doubt it, perhaps in the cellar of his second beach house..

As far as i know mr Gabriel owns SSL and has a customized 92 channel desk!

I think it actually is... i've seen this picture elsewhere.... it's a "secret" studio inside realwold. studio...

Not secret anymore it seems....

On the realworld website you can take a VR tour of the studios.

That is one of the "writing rooms".

Everything is fed into the main room where the large SSL you guys mentioned is...

Funny how Pete has that big, over-the-top room at his disposal, but prefers to compose in a converted basement or poolhouse.

Of coarse, you can rent out Realworld if you like, and try it yourself!

The huge Gabriel fan, that i am I must say how surprised I´m again and again how CHAOTIC his studio setups look.

just could´nt work in a place like that

Shaman · 16th June 2006

Didn´t he have those huge boxer monitors in his writing room ?
I think I heard that there was some fire damage in some rooms.

The jump from a +100 channel Oxford desk to a tiny 24 channel mini SSL is hard to believe. A C 200 would be the more logical decessor.

Could it be it´s his "keyboard" submixer ?

toolstudio · 16th June 2006

The writing room, which is called "writing room" afaik still has the oxford and
is the "hangar" style building at the other side of the mill pond.

The picture is from the studio room on the second floor.

The problem I had with the original post was trying to figure out the really important Italian gear manufacturer.... I bet it was Guido La Fatso???

clip6 · 16th June 2006

He had two Oxford consoles. One was lost in the fire in the writing room located outside from the main studio. That shot could just be the opposite end of the same room the 2nd Oxford is in.

the board doesn't surprise me at all. it sounds real good, it's small, and he owns the company.

... what kills me are the mackies.

hahahaha, don't remind me, raal!

I used to own one of those 32-8 Mackies and still remember when I first got it installed in my room when they first came out and wondering whether my ears were busted or what... hahahah
