Solid State Logic Matrix 16 Channel 40 Input DAW Automated Mixer
Matrix from Solid State Logic is the world’s first audio console designed to truly integrate project studio workflow, from idea to process to release. Bringing the soul of analogue sound into the machinery of digital workflow giving a unique sonic signature to mark-out the passion and artistry of the producer’s work.
Matrix is a new affordable small format console configuration that encapsulates a high quality 16 channel, 40 input analogue line mixer with a multilayer 16 fader DAW controller. Designed for both acquisition and mixing, Matrix is pivotal in the integration of existing boutique signal processing in a professional DAW based project studio environment. An integrated signal router offers DAW style plug in management in the analogue domain and eliminates the need for complex external hardware interfacing of outboard equipment.
On board Total Recall fully supports up to 6 SSL X-Rack Modular Rack system to further expand the processing and mixing capabilities of the system. More than 40 summing SuperAnalogue inputs, enough for a substantial mix. 16 Dual Line channels that provide 32 line signals each with foldback capability. Six aux busses, for complex tracking sessions and foldback requirements. Analogue routing matrix with reset for instant routing and recall.17 motorized faders with multiple layers for working with different DAW applications simultaneously over TCPIP via Ethernet.
Matrix includes as standard, a fully balanced and resettable Super Analogue™ router to manage the sends and returns of sixteen outboard processor units together with the assignment of the console’s channel strip insert points. In addition to patch free insertion of outboard processing into the channel strips, complex processing chains can be created which can include single ended devices such as Mic Pre’s and Instrument DI’s as part of the chain. In many cases this feature will eliminate the need for any external patch bay and dramatically simplify integrating Matrix into the project studio environment.
Powerful Main, Mini and Independent ‘Artist’ Monitor Output for deriving a separate monitor output for headphones or a recording area. Five additional stereo Monitoring inputs with SUM mode allowing multiple inputs to be monitored simultaneously. Stereo Inputs include AES/EBU and Optical Digital I/O with on board SSL quality AD/DA converter. Analogue monitoring also includes features such as SuperCue and foldback for low latency monitoring performance.
SSL’s trademark Logictivity provides direct communication to XRack IO systems for Total Recall Management. An accompanying Matrix Studio Browser application manages Total Recall setups, controls the integral signal router and configures DAW control soft keys & keystroke macros. This is application can run on the same computer as the workstation software or on a separate Mac/PC.
All this means that Matrix puts the operator in charge of the process and the technology.
