About this listing
I am selling a brand new SSL Fusion Analog Master Processor officially sourced from the factory. Feel free to contact me for inquiries and to place an order. Below are additional terms in my store and a description of the device.All products are officially sourced from the vendor or distributor.I provide a minimum 3-year warranty on all products, or longer depending on the type of product.Most products are available for testing on demand in the showroom in Warsaw.Every customer in Europe is entitled to a 30-day return policy. This option doesn't cover customers abroad EU.The SSL Fusion is an all-analogue 2U stereo outboard processor from the masters of analogue, expertly designed for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion introduces six completely new analogue colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse that only real analogue circuits can provide. Built on SSL's much-emulated legacy of console processing, it takes the company into a new era and is a superb partner for the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor. In just a two rack space unit analog chassis, Fusion incorporates five individual analog processing sections that effectively manipulate flavor, tone and color — plus a hidden sixth.Key elements of its design:Vintage Drive Vintage Drive is a unique non-linear harmonic enhancement circuit that brings cohesion and strength to your mix. Drive and Density controls interact to produce harmonic saturation and soft compression derived from overloading an analogue circuit. It can be used lightly for subtle thickening saturation or driven hard for more extreme distortion.Violet EQ The SSL Violet EQ is an all-new minimum phase-shift, two-band shelving EQ — the first new SSL analogue EQ circuit for more than 25 years. Each of the dials offers four switched frequency points and +/-9dB attenuation for instant low-end weight and high-end sheen.HF Compressor A new High Frequency Compressor delivers the distinctive sound of high frequency rounding in the analogue domain — a compressor that effects high frequencies only, optimised for smooth and transparent harshness reduction and a tape-like high-frequency roll off, great for taming brittle high frequency fizz.Stereo Image Enhancer A new Stereo Image enhancer provides a true analogue Mid-Side circuit that manipulates the Side signal, allowing for widening and spatial manipulation of the stereo field.Transformer Circuit A switched, custom-designed SSL Transformer circuit introduces subtle low-frequency saturation, alongside a high-frequency phase-shift. The result is a simultaneous thickening of the low-end and an added sparkle to the high-end.Hidden 6th Processor (Full-Band LMC) To celebrate the launch of Fusion, SSL unveiled a secret hidden 6th processor available in ALL Fusions. To access the hidden 6th LMC processor, hold down the HF Compressor 'in' button for 5 seconds and unlock full band LMC mode — the X-Over becomes a wet/dry parallel mix control.Flexible Insert & Routing Stereo mode allows you to integrate additional outboard gear such as the SSL Bus Compressor (switchable pre/post the Violet EQ), while Mid/Side mode allows you to insert two different mono outboard processors across the mid and side signals of the mix (switchable pre/post the Stereo Image controls).Pro Workflow & Gain Staging SuperAnalogue ±12dB centre-indented INPUT and OUTPUT trim controls help achieve the best possible gain-staging, with individual bypass switches for each circuit, a 3rd-order HPF, large peak-hold metering, and input clip O/L LEDs triggered at +27dBu.Reviewers single out its musicality. Writing for Tape Op, one engineer found the HF Compressor the most inspiring section, noting it smooths out peaky high frequencies, sibilance, and edgy transients in a musical way that reminds him of how analog tape saturation tames transients while slightly softening high frequencies, and that he has no other processor that provides transient smoothing as effectively on vocal and guitar tracks.Technical specifications:Type: All-Analogue Stereo Master Bus / Outboard ProcessorFormat: 2U RackmountProcessors: Vintage Drive, Violet EQ, HF Compressor, Stereo Image, Transformer + hidden Full-Band LMCVintage Drive: Non-linear harmonic enhancement, Drive + Density controlsViolet EQ: 2-band minimum phase-shift shelving; 4 switched frequencies per band; ±9dBHF Compressor: HF-only, threshold ±10 dB, crossover sweepable 3 kHz – 20 kHzStereo Image: True analogue M/S Side-signal processingTransformer: Switched custom SSL transformer circuitHigh-Pass Filter: 3rd-order, selectable 30/40/50 Hz or OffTrim: ±12 dB centre-indented Input & OutputRouting: Stereo Insert and Mid/Side Insert modes (switchable pre/post)Frequency Response (pre-processing): 5 Hz – over 180 kHzMax Input Level: +27 dBu (input clip O/L LEDs)Metering: Master meter with 3-second peak hold; switches to input metering on bypassI/O: Balanced XLR input and output throughoutBypass: Red mode (complete bypass) / White mode (bypass incl. input trim); per-circuit bypassDimensions: 480 mm (W) x 88.9 mm (H, 2RU) x 328 mm (D, incl. controls)Power: 50 W max (40 W typical)Weight: 5.86 kg (12.9 lbs)
