RECORDING CONSOLE

Solid State Logic (SSL) AWS Delta 924™

24 inputs, 24 pre’s within a compact 24 fader frame.  The AWS 924 delivers pristine SuperAnalogue™ summing, 24 ultra-clean SSL SuperAnalogue mic pre's, classic SSL dual curve EQ on every channel, two assignable SSL Dynamics channels, legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, TotalRecall™ and full 5.1 monitoring. In addition to on board classic SSL Automation, the AWS 924 features the new d-Ctrl system.

↳Input

The AWS 924 Channel Input section features a balanced Line Input with +/-20dB of gain and a world class SuperAnalogueTM Mic Amp featuring continuous mic gain control (+15 to +75dB), phase reverse and switchable 48V phantom power. An Instrument D.I allows for high impedance sources such as guitars. The Flip control overrides the Master Mic/Line input selection assigned globally via the console center section.

↳EQ

Taken from the legendary XL 9000 K Series console and its current successor Duality, the AWS 924 features a highly flexible EQ section, switchable between a default E Series operation and the characteristic G Series curves and control interaction.
  • HPF - 18dB/Octave high-pass filter with detente bypass position
  • G-EQ Curve switch - toggles between the default E-Series and G-Series tonal characteristics and control interaction
  • HF - High frequency shelving equalizer switchable to fixed Q parametric response via the Bell switch
  • HMF - High frequency parametric mid-band EQ section
  • LMF - Low frequency parametric mid-band EQ
  • LF - Low frequency shelving EQ Switchable to fixed Q parametric response via the Bell switch


↳Routing & Sends

Each channel has access to 2 main Stereo Busses (RECORD and MIX) in addition to 2 Stereo Cue busses and 4 mono FX sends. Every AWS Channel features a Direct Channel Output (CH OP) and can also feed 8 independent Track Busses. SSL's unique "EFX" system is present on all channels significantly enhancing creativity by allowing free assignment of send controls.

↳Digital Scribble Strips

When the AWS is in analogue focus mode the Digital Scribble Strips display name and parameter information for the selected analogue signal path. When the AWS is in DAW focus mode they then display DAW channel and processing parameters dependent on your chosen DAW and selected functions.

↳Fader

The AWS features touch sensitive 100mm motorized faders. In analogue mode they control the analogue signal path of either the Channel input or DAW return path. In DAW mode they default to control over channel level control but can be used for other controllable DAW parameters.
