SSL X-Rack: Console yourself

[SnakeCained]

Not Surprisingly SSL have expanded the X rack with the addition of Mic pre and eq modules. The idea is that you could build up a console over time.

I think this is quite a good idea as modularity always allows the user to get exactly what they need rather than half and half.

Also that rather nice plug in LC1 is now available fro PC!

[Lindell]

I guess it's likely to see a summing box in the near future to....and a control room module for the XLogic setup......

....just like API, ADT-Audio, Chandler, etc...

[krid]

Well it's strange that they didn't release the summing box, you have the preamps, the EQ, the dynamics but no summing ?

[ResonantFilter]

aaah but unlike API et al these modules all have TR

A little bird told me $20,000. I was hoping for about half of that. Still I'd love to have a rack of eight compressors, eight eq's in my slutty little world.

20k? Maybe when you buy 3 XRacks, one with 8 mic pre's, one with 8 comp/gates and one with 8 EQ's ?

Look, this is what someone told me, I don't work for SSL so obviously I have no idea if it's true or not. I'd be willing to pay 8 or 9k for a rack like this but there is no way I could swing 20k for eight channels so I'm hoping that the guy who told me 20k is wrong. The reason I posted what was said at all, is I was hoping that somebody would step up to the plate with encouraging (but accurate) information. So if you know something man, speak up..............please

I guess a full rack can be had for less than $10k.

Mind you, this is just speculation.

An XRack full of dynamics modules is less then 10k. No speculation

Who is selling the X-Rack / Modules in the U.S.? I tried the Sonic Circus site but couldn't pull anything up. Thanks.

Yeah, I checked that out last night. I'll have to give them a call and get the details. Man, looks like I'm going to be spending insane money over the next 12 / 18 months. I hope this shit pays off.

I asked at the booth, and the modules are all the same price. £440 +tax

The empty rack is a bit over £1,000. So there you go. A full rack should be around $8,500.

Lets see: £1,000 = $1,760 and £440 = $775 outside of the word free, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Now to come up with the ca$h...........

Thanks guys.

I'll take the SSL X-rack w/Total Recall thank you!

[Rail Jon Rogut]

US prices $850/module and $2500 for the rackmount case which has TR. No multipiers on the EQ's though which I thought was an odd design decision... but the AWS900 doesn't have the multipliers either.

Rail

[djui5]

What are multipliers? I mean...the name says it all, but what are they for/do?

[Rail Jon Rogut]

Change the frequency of the EQ band.. 400 Hz - press in the multiplier button and it's 3x... 1.2 kHz

Rail

[djui5]

oh shit...haha

yeah, duh....
