Solid Stage Logic has announced that AVL rental, supply and installation company Agorà, headquartered in L’Aquila, Italy, has added two SSL Live L650 mixing consoles to its inventory, joining the company’s L550 and L200 desks.
Agorà states that the decision to purchase the Live L650 model was based both on the configuration and its processing capabilities. “In some applications we needed more DSP power and the L650 was the obvious choice,” says Giovanni Blasi, head of Cablateam, SSL’s Italian distributor. “Also, the layout of all the fader tiles like the L200 is our preferred configuration.” Both the L650 and the L200 are configured with three fader tiles, offering the operator access to 36 faders.
”We are delighted that Agorà has extended its technical arsenal with the SSL L650, bringing the best possible sound and flexibility to major tours and events,” Blasi adds. “We are grateful for our decades’ long relationship with both Agorà and Solid State Logic and look forward to continued success.”
Agorà: Early adopter of SSL Live
Agorà was founded by brothers Wolfango and Vittorio De Amicis in 1990 and has become a leading supplier for the rental, supply and installation of lighting, audio, video graphics, rigging and staging for productions. In 2014, the company was among the first to take delivery of an SSL Live mixing console after it was launched and went into production. Agorà’s rental inventory also includes more than 30 SSL ML 32.32 MADI Analogue Stageboxes.
“When we were introduced to SSL Live, we already had a lot of live consoles from different manufactures which we were happy with,” Blasi says. “But we spotted some features which could make the difference and decided to visit SSL headquarters to try it out for ourselves. During testing we found that the GUI was a bit different than other desks but what was very astonishing was the sound quality. We believed that in a very short time the SSL Live would become the console most requested and used by top live sound engineers.”
