Solid State Logic has announced a new module for the X-Rack modular rack system, the Stereo EQ Module.

The X-Rack Stereo EQ Module is a stereo version of SSL’s console Channel EQ. It is a classic SSL four-band parametric EQ that is a superb all round frequency adjustment tool kit.

is a fully featured EQ with high- and low-bands switchable between shelving or fixed Q bell curves and two mid-bands each with variable Q control.

This stereo version introduces a ‘Selective Mode’ switch which enables independent switching of high & low bands and mid bands between SSL’s E & G series console EQ characteristics to provide an even more versatile EQ design.

Based on SuperAnalogue electronics from SSL’s XL 9000 K Series console, X-Rack is a modular rack system with Total Recall that delivers the SSL sound in a uniquely versatile form. Each X-Rack chassis holds up to eight modules in any configuration; with the introduction of the Stereo EQ Module, eleven different modules are offered.

A selection of EQ, Dynamics and VHD modules can be combined to form comprehensive standalone processing solutions. Two different Mic Amp modules can be added to create high quality recording solutions, and standalone mixers can be configured by adding Master Bus, Four Input and Eight Input modules.

Key features of the X-Rack Stereo EQ Module include:

• Stereo version of the XL 9000 K Channel Equaliser as used on Duality & AWS consoles
• ‘Selective Mode’ E and G characteristic switching, which enables independent switching of high & low bands and mid bands between E or G curves.
• High and low-bands switchable between shelving and fixed Q Bell curves
