Solid State Logic Origin EVO 16 Analogue Recording Console - Price on Request

The 4K Legacy, Evolved for the Modern Hybrid Studio.

The Solid State Logic ORIGIN EVO 16 is a professional 16-channel in-line analogue recording console that reignites the iconic 4000 Series lineage for the contemporary engineer. Designed for mixing engineers and high-end production houses, this console bridges the gap between legendary analogue sonics and modern DAW-driven requirements. Whether you are tracking a full band or mixing a complex hybrid session, the ORIGIN EVO 16 provides the high-headroom, "unmistakable SSL sound," and ergonomic freedom required to produce world-class records.

PureDrive™ Sonic Versatility 
The ORIGIN EVO features the innovative PureDrive™ mic preamps, offering a complete sonic palette from high-resolution, ultra-clean capture to rich, driven tones. By engaging the DRIVE circuit - an evolution of SSL’s VHD technology - engineers can introduce warm, harmonically rich character when the track demands it. This discrete transistor design ensures you have the choice between pristine transparency and characterful saturation, providing two distinct personalities in a single preamp.

Iconic E Series Processing 
Every channel strip is equipped with the most sought-after EQ design in history: the E Series 242 ‘Black Knob’ four-band parametric EQ, originally developed in collaboration with Sir George Martin. Complementing this is the authentic E Series dynamics section, featuring punchy, aggressive compression and ultra-fast gating recreated with original-spec Class-A VCA chips. This combination delivers the classic ‘80s SSL sound, providing the punch and "glue" that has defined hit records for decades.

Masterful Hybrid Workflow
Engineered for modern ergonomics, the ORIGIN EVO 16 features a 19-inch modular centre section that adapts to your specific priorities. You can seamlessly integrate SSL UF8 or UF1 DAW controllers directly into the console, keeping your digital workstation control and analogue outboard processors exactly where you need them: in the sweet spot. With features like 0 dB fader bypass for printing stems and advanced electronic routing, complex session management becomes intuitive and highly reliable.
