Judging by the name of it, I was expecting six SSL mic pres with EQ. That would be great in a two rack space configuration. This isn't all that interesting for my uses.

Ouch ! The thing looks like my little Behringer had a one night stand with an SSL and nine months later this came out. I just don’t get it, it looks like they tried to cram a lot into this thing to win the spec sheet wars, but left off what I would really use. I was hoping SSL’s new owners ( same company as Allen & Heath, Digico) would give us some cool products, I’m just not sure this is it.

The demo video shows what it can do. Very nice for a home setup and an intro to the hybrid world for many.
I would say they have an API Box level one in the works too.
EDIT: Shall we coin the term “pocket console”? :-)

It was my thought when I saw it as well

It kinda looks to me like they were trying make a piece of hardware that looks like a plugin that tries to look like a piece of hardware. We may have come full circle with this piece of gear.

Do you think it will sell like hotcakes at the $1499 price?

Do you think it will sell like hotcakes at the $1499 price? Yes. You don't? I can see plenty of guys getting some use out of this. A pair of SSL preamps with basic eq/comp and a basic SSL buss compressor built in? Sends for headphone mixes. Every travelling hip hop producer is going to have this in their bag for tracking in hotel rooms or even in their studios.

I am not convinced this product will. $1500 is all it takes for all these producers to have an SSL Console in their studio now. It's not a product for me, but seems pretty useful for a lot of guys doing 1/2 tracks at a time in their home who want a step up from their Behringer/Mackie rigs.

Control room section looked nice, maybe to much for this small a board?

Let’s say you were in the market for:
- a very good small mixer - 2 very good pres - 2 channels of very good eq - filters - even a g comp emulation
How is this not well featured and priced?

For less than the price of the ssl6 including a chassis: I don’t think so !

This looks great, I'd be all over it if I was looking for a small format mixer, to me it'd be worth paying a bit more for this over Mackie or Behringer etc. I think it's targetting the same people, and I think it will do well.
So Peter Gabriel doesn't own SSL any more?

Gabriel sold a few years ago. My understanding is Peter had a minority stake, but was the public face of the ownership group. It will be interesting to see how much of this thing is really SSL and how much is generic Made in China. I honestly don’t see the market for what is essentially a 2 mono , 2 stereo $1400 mixer in the hands of many other than those who must have an SSL. I see this if anything moving more X- desks!

From what i read P.G. sold his stake but reinvested the cash for shares in the buyers Audotonix.
As for the six i wonder if there will be a bigger sized model soon to compete with 'The Box' or maybe SSL already have this covered in their current range.
