Meet the New Solid State Logic Super 9000 Channel Strip

Meet the New Solid State Logic Super 9000 Channel Strip. Solid State Logic has just announced the arrival of the Solid State Logic Super 9000 Channel Strip! The Super 9000 is an all in one analog powerhouse that brings SSL’s iconic SuperAnalogue technology straight into your rack!

First introduced in the legendary SSL 9000 J console and perfected in the Duality, the new Super 9000 distills SSL’s most celebrated innovations into a single rack unit. The 9000 Series defined the sound of modern music - from the deep low-end and sparkling highs of pop and hip-hop to the punch and width that made rock and R&B sound massive. Studios like Abbey Road, Metropolis, Real World, Record Plant, and Avatar/Power Station built countless hits on SSL’s 9000 consoles. Producers and engineers including Manny Marroquin, Michael Brauer, Kevin Shirley, and Tony Maserati relied on that SuperAnalogue sound to make music that shaped generations. With the Super 9000 Channel Strip, that sound is now at your fingertips.

SSL’s proprietary SuperAnalogue design delivers an extraordinarily pure signal path - ruler-flat frequency response, ultra-low distortion, and stunning transient detail. No electrolytic capacitors, no compromises - just a crystal clear window into your music. The result? Incredible depth, clarity, and punch that let your mix breathe naturally! Also, SSL packed the Super 9000 with flexible routing and integration features: a balanced insert point, external sidechain input, stereo linking, Input Flip control, and adjustable line output trim. Whether you’re tracking vocals, shaping stems, or adding that final analog polish to a mix, the Super 9000 adapts seamlessly to your workflow.
