Solid State Logic E-Dyn E-Series Dynamics

Solid State Logic E-Dyn features include;

• Immortal SSL 4000 Series circuitry
• Class A VCA replication
• Expander/Gate
• Based on classic 611E console channel strip

Channel compression in 500 series
A true RMS converter is used in the side chain while the gain element is an all-discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit. The compressor contains additional switching options to defeat the over-easy curve and to use a linear release instead of the more usual logarithmic curve. The result is a compressor with three distinct voices, each with its own musical character.

The Solid State Logic E-Dyn sounds like a powerhouse, with its roots firmly planted in the classic SSL E Series channel strip. It’s great that it’s designed to fit seamlessly into API 500 series racks, offering that familiar +4dBu input/output level. And with its compressor/limiter and expander/gate combo, it’s versatile enough for a range of audio tasks.

I like the attention to detail in replicating the original SSL E Series sound, right down to the true RMS converter and the discrete Class A VCA chip. Those additional switching options for the compressor really add some flexibility, giving you three distinct voicings to play with.

It’s also handy that the Solid State Logic E-Dyn mirrors the SSL X-Rack XR418 E Series Dynamics module in terms of features, minus the ‘link’ bus access. That means you’re getting a lot of functionality packed into this unit. Sounds like it’s ready to handle anything you throw its way!
