Solid State Logic BiG SiX Desktop Mixer

The Solid State Logic BiG SiX is an analogue desktop mixer with an integrated USB audio interface for recording, summing and monitoring. Four mono channels provide SuperAnalogue microphone preamps, while four stereo input channels handle additional line-level sources. The stereo channels are not four extra microphone preamps, and the mixer must not be confused with the smaller SSL SiX.

BiG SiX incorporates three-band E-Series channel EQ, channel compression on the mono input paths and a G-Series bus compressor on the main mix. SSL describes sixteen channels of USB conversion for computer integration. These routing and conversion capabilities do not mean sixteen physical microphone inputs. Its two independent headphone outputs and monitor routing support different listening feeds without making the connected headphones or speakers part of this listing.

The controls and analogue connections make it suitable for combining microphones, instruments and playback sources with a compatible recording system. A computer and appropriate software are needed for computer-based recording; microphones, headphones and speakers are separate requirements. The product photographs show the mixer from several angles, while the separate mounting-hardware image has been removed from the gallery. This listing is BiG SiX, not a software-only mixer or a standalone multitrack recorder.
