“A solid unit with fantastic features and sonic quality built in the UK.  Nothing at this price can touch it.”

The latest issue of Future Music magazine includes another exemplary review of SSL’s new X-Desk,  presenting it with the magazine’s Platinum award.

Meeting the demand for a world class, compact SSL mixing desk, X-Desk combines a 16 channel SSL SuperAnalogue™ summing mixer with a compact analogue audio hub for your studio. Small enough to be easily transported, X-Desk fulfills all the essentials of the audio mixing process, with typical SSL attention to detail and depth, including smooth 100mm faders, comprehensive artist & studio monitoring with Dim & Cut buttons, Stereo and Mono Aux sends, channel and Master Bus Inserts and accurate bar graph level metering.

“The X-Desk may not be huge, but it certainly doesn’t lack in features.  However, the really big question is how does it sound?  Well, the answer to that is ‘bloody great’.

“I started by taking a few of my more recent ‘in the box’ mixes and splitting them into stems.  The results were very impressive.  Tracks felt punchier and more open.  The low was more defined and the stereo seemed wider”.

“This is certainly the simplest desk SSL have ever made, but it packs a hell of a punch in features and sonically.  If you’re in the market for a summing mixer, a small console and a monitor controller, this could well be the unit for you, and at this price you’d be daft to ignore it.  It looks like SSL have set the new standard and could have well cornered a new market”.
