Solid State Logic (SSL), a manufacturer of analogue and digital audio consoles, is all set to debut its S400 console at IBC2024, and also unveils an array of enhancements to its System T Broadcast Audio Production Platform in the latest V4.1 software update.

Featuring flagship control for live-to-air broadcast applications in a compact and cost-effective format, the new S400 is the perfect control solution for outdoor broadcast (OB), event space, and music applications, or anywhere premium control features are required, said SSL.

Available in standalone frames of 16+1, 32+1, or 48+1 fader versions, the S400 sits between the compact, fixed frame S300 and modular flagship S500; the S400 console offers the same high-quality fader experience as the S500, featuring premium 100mm touch-sense faders and a dedicated OLED display for every fader.

Level metering and status LEDs covering dynamics, automix, and external control are also present by every fader to further enhance visual feedback for operators.

The System T V4.1 software update introduces tools for automated Cloud deployment and a ‘Dual Channel View’ mode in the Tempest Control App (TCA). It also includes new immersive audio production features, with channel paths and buses available in formats up to 9.1.6.

Additionally, the update adds the highly regarded Blitzer ‘vibe’ compressor, ‘Sourcerer’ isolator, and parallel compression processing on every path.

System T is SSL’s award-winning, next-gen broadcast production platform and it is an IP-native distributed and scalable audio production system that can be tailored to any production application. It offers architectural flexibility; any configuration of control surfaces, processing engines (including virtual cloud-based) and I/O can be combined to build the required system.

The latest V4.1 update, to be launched at IBC2024, highlights SSL’s commitment to delivering the processing tools, connectivity, and workflows which broadcasters need in live-to-air production.
