Solid State Logic Big SiX Audio Mixer
Engineered for serious artists, producers, and content creators in India, the Big SiX provides the tools you need to record, process, and mix with unparalleled quality. From its four iconic SuperAnalogue™ mic preamps and classic E-Series EQ to the beloved G-Series Bus Compressor strapped across the main outputs, every element is designed to impart that professional 'finished' sound. Whether you're tracking a full band, mixing stems out of the box, or producing a high-quality podcast, the Big SiX delivers the sonic excellence and versatile workflow that SSL is famous for.
Key Features
- Four SuperAnalogue™ Preamps:Capture pristine, detailed audio with four console-grade microphone preamps, featuring a wide gain range, +48V phantom power, line/Hi-Z switching, and a high-pass filter.
- Integrated 16x16 USB-C Interface:Record and play back high-resolution audio with a built-in 24-bit/96 kHz USB-C interface, offering advanced routing to and from your computer for a true hybrid workflow.
- G-Series Bus Compressor:Add punch and glue to your entire mix with an essential version of the legendary G-Series Master Bus Compressor, featuring the same circuit topology as the iconic SL 4000 G-Series console.
- 3-Band E-Series EQ:Shape your sound with surgical precision using the classic SSL E-Series three-band EQ, available on every mono and stereo channel for powerful tonal control.
- Full-Sized 100mm Faders:Experience precise, hands-on control over your levels with nine long-throw 100mm faders, providing the feel and resolution of a large-format SSL console.
- Advanced Monitoring & Routing:Manage complex sessions with ease thanks to two independent headphone outputs, two stereo cue sends, main and alternate monitor outputs, and a comprehensive talkback section with the famous Listen Mic Compressor.
- 18-Input Analogue Summing:Achieve a wider, more spacious mix by summing up to 18 channels in the analogue domain at mixdown, injecting your productions with incredible depth and clarity.
Why SSL Big SiX Is Better
The Big SiX is a direct evolution of the original, critically acclaimed SiX mixer, incorporating extensive user feedback. While the SiX introduced the SSL sound in a compact form, the Big SiX expands on it in almost every area. It doubles the mono channels from two to four and the stereo channels from two to four. The most significant upgrade is the built-in 16x16 USB-C audio interface, a feature absent in the original SiX, transforming it into a complete studio hub. Furthermore, every channel on the Big SiX now features a more powerful 3-band E-Series style EQ, compared to the 2-band EQ on the SiX's mono channels, and it includes two independent headphone outputs versus the SiX's single output, making it far more versatile for tracking and complex routing scenarios.
Advantages
Seamlessly integrate analogue hardware with your DAW. Utilize the 16-channel interface to track through SuperAnalogue™ preamps and EQs, then send stems back out from your computer for genuine SSL analogue summing and G-Series Bus Compression. This hybrid approach delivers the sonic benefits of a large console with the convenience of a digital workflow.
For Content Creators & Podcasters:
Achieve broadcast-quality audio effortlessly. The four pristine mic preamps ensure your vocals are captured with exceptional clarity. The flexible routing and dual headphone outputs make managing multiple hosts, guests, and audio sources simple, while the built-in dynamics processing adds a professional touch to your final output.
For Electronic Musicians & Small Bands:
Big SiX is the perfect central hub for a setup of synths, drum machines, and live instruments. The four stereo line inputs provide ample connectivity, and the ability to sum up to 18 inputs at mixdown allows you to create dense, powerful mixes. The bus compressor is ideal for adding energy and cohesion to drum machines and full electronic mixes.

- Project Studio Owners: Who demand the sound of a large-format console without the space or budget.
- Hybrid Producers: Who want to seamlessly blend their DAW workflow with the sonic character of analogue hardware.
- Professional Podcasters & Streamers: Who require multiple high-quality microphone inputs and flexible routing for guests and sources.

Q: Can I use the G-Series Bus Compressor while tracking?
A: The G-Series Bus Compressor is on the main mix bus. While you can't print it directly to an individual channel during initial tracking, you can monitor through it and commit to the sound on mixdown or by routing creatively.
Q: What is the main difference between the Big SiX and the original SiX?
A: The Big SiX has more channels (4 mono, 4 stereo vs 2 mono, 2 stereo), a more powerful 3-band EQ on every channel, two headphone outputs, and crucially, an integrated 16x16 USB audio interface, which the original SiX does not have.
Q: Do I need to install drivers to use the Big SiX with my computer?
A: No, the Big SiX is a class-compliant USB device on macOS. For Windows, a standard SSL driver may be required for optimal performance.
Q: Can I integrate my outboard effects processors?
A: Absolutely. The four mono channels feature fully balanced insert points, and the flexible routing with two stereo cue sends allows for easy integration of external effects units.
Q: Is the power supply compatible with Indian power outlets?
A: Yes, the external power supply is universal. We ship the unit with the appropriate IEC power cable for use in India.

Q: Can I use the Big SiX for analogue summing from my DAW?
A: Yes, this is one of its primary functions. You can route up to 16 channels from your DAW out to the Big SiX, sum them in the analogue domain for a wider mix, and record the stereo result back into your DAW.
Q: Does it come with any software?
A: Yes, the Big SiX includes the SSL Production Pack, which features a selection of virtual instruments, plug-ins, samples, and a DAW to get you started.
Q: What is the 'Listen Mic Compressor'?

Q: Are the EQ and Compressor digital or analogue?
A: Everything in the signal path, including the preamps, EQ, and compressors, is 100% analogue. The USB interface handles the conversion to and from digital.
Q: Can I connect a turntable to the Big SiX?
A: You can connect a turntable via a dedicated phono preamp into one of the stereo line inputs.
Q: How do I claim the warranty in India?
A: As an official dealer, we facilitate the warranty process. Simply contact our support team with your GST invoice, and we will guide you through the service claim.
Q: Is this mixer suitable for live sound?
A: While designed for the studio, its robust build, high-quality preamps, and flexible routing make it a superb choice for small, high-end live performances, streaming setups, or keyboard rigs.
Q: What is the benefit of the full-size 100mm faders?
A: The long-throw faders offer much greater precision for setting levels compared to the short faders or knobs found on most compact mixers, giving you the feel of working on a professional large-format console.
