Recording
equipment for studios and producers
Duncan
Pro Audio is a leading European dealer of pre-owned
SSL
mixing consoles - quality used recording equipment for
studio, producer or engineer. Working closely with the
Solid State Logic brings the studio owner genuine added
benefits.
In these uncertain times if buying new is not what you
are looking for, Peterduncan.com is an exclusive European
dealer of previously owned consoles working directly
with Solid State Logic UK to give customers important
added benefits not generally associated with the usual
second time user seller.
A
large supply of refurbished consoles from 10 years to
only 12 months old are available - prices vary from
£15,000 for 4048E with E computer and Total Recall
to £260,000 for a flagship 64 channel K series.
Each console purchased can carry a warranty with on-site
commissioning by an SSL trained technician if required.
Custom
upgrades, modifications, expansions, and reconfigurations
are also available.
Investing
in large format consoles is a very big decision, and
this is where long term experience of the industry helps
you choose the right desk for your needs and budget.
A selection of used consoles currently available are
viewable on Duncan
Pro Audio.
If
you need more convincing that investing in a used SSL
is the right thing to do just look at the company's
pedigree which probably can't be bettered by any other
manufacturer.
Over the years, SSL
has pioneered advances in console technology providing
ever more intelligent and efficient means to assist
the creative process, providing customers with a vital
commercial advantage.
2002:
The new Solid State Logic XL 9000 K Series is the first
analogue console to provide the dual benefits of a full
5.1 surround architecture and the increased bandwidth
and resolution needed for DVD-Audio and SACD. The XL
provides both outstanding audio quality and comprehensive
multichannel surround capabilities in SSL's first new
analogue console since the introduction of the J Series
in 1994. C200 Digital Production Console
2001:
In one of the most dramatic SSL product revisions to
date, the entire digital console range was enhanced
to new levels of capability and flexibility, including
the very latest HS control processing. MT Production
(MTP) now provides the power of a digital in-line mix
architecture in a configuration optimised for large-scale
television production and music. With a compact and
light frame, the console is exceptionally well suited
to restricted space and weight environments, such as
remote trucks.
2000:
The SL 4000 G+ Classic console provided 5.1 capabilities
and extensive functionality in a highly cost effective
package representing the most advanced edition of the
world's most popular in-line console.
1999:
Aysis Air Mobile provided the same functional excellence
of Aysis Air, within an architecture specifically designed
for mobile applications. MixTrack offered a 24-bit,
96-track hard disk recording option totally integrated
within the Axiom-MT digital multi-track console.
1998:
Axiom MT combined the proven technology of the A Series
system with SSL's instantly familiar and world-wide
accepted control surface to provide a digital multi-track
console with an analogue-intuitive operator interface.
Aysis Air, designed for on-air broadcasting and production.
1997:
The first two application-specific derivatives of the
A Series appeared.
Avant, designed for film and post production mixing
1996:
Next in the new A Series was Aysis, a highly flexible,
compact, all digital production system which proved
immensely popular in limited space applications such
as OB vehicles, and with post houses specialising in
long form television work.
1995:
Axiom - the first product in a completely new range
of totally digital audio post production and broadcast
systems. Axiom represented a fresh approach to digital
audio production, providing knob-per-function ergonomics
in a tapeless, dynamically automated environment.
1994:
The milestone 1000th analogue console was installed
at London's Town House Studios. Not content with 'mere
success', SSL then launched the SL 9000 J, an all new
"super" analogue mixing console with advanced
automation and computer control facilities. Top facilities
around the world, from Ocean Way in Los Angeles to Nippon
Columbia in Japan quickly invested in this superb audio
console. Also introduced in 1993, the SL 8000 GB, the
ultimate analogue broadcast and multitrack recording
console, combining the outstanding sonic performance
and signal processing of the G+ with the high level
of functionality required for on-air production.
1992: Scenaria - a radical new audio post production
tool was launched, uniquely combining a fully automated
mixing system with an integrated random access digital
recorder/editor and random access video.
1993:
OmniMix - offering all the capabilities of Scenaria
but with the addition of multi-format surround sound
facilities and a host of advanced creative processing
possibilities. SSL's pioneering work in the digital
audio for post production domain was recognised by the
awarding of the prestigious Queen's Award for Technological
Achievement and the Television Broadcast Award for Engineering
Excellence.
1991:
Ultimation, SSL's automated fader system was launched.
In the same year, SSL solved multi-format problems by
introducing a highly flexible console, the SL 8000 G,
which was designed to handle surround sound film formats,
including Dolby SRD and SDDS as well as simple stereo
mixes. This console was awarded the Professional Choice
Award for Audio Technology and a TEC Award.
1989:
ScreenSound pioneered non-linear audio for video. Quickly
establishing a large number of international devotees
in the post production and broadcast sector, ScreenSound
was acclaimed for its speed, ease of use and creative
flexibility. So successful was ScreenSound that in 1990
SSL introduced SoundNet - the world's first multi-use
digital networking system.
1981:
The SL 4000 E was awarded the prestigious UK Design
Council Award, having revolutionised studio management
with Total Recall. Later that same year, SSL received
its first Queen's Award for Export Achievement. Through
the 1980's SSL continued to expand its range of products,
establishing itself as the premier expert in audio technology
for the music, film and broadcast industries.
1977: The SL 4000 B integrated a studio computer system
with an in-line audio console.
