δelta Control (δ-Ctrl)
The unique new SSL console automation system unites the very best of automation in the
analogue console domain with DAW based workflow.
δ-Ctrl is a native AAX/RTAS/AU/VST/VST3 plug-in that allows automation of Duality as if it were a
DAW Plug-in. The automation system in the DAW is used to record and playback control data from
the faders and switches on the console replacing the SSL legacy automation system in Duality.
The δ-Ctrl plug-in is inserted into a DAW mixer audio channel. The plug-in then receives and sends
control data from an assigned Duality channel, VCA or Master fader via a high speed Ethernet
Network connection. Audio on the DAW track passes through the plug-in slot unprocessed so the
plug-in can be combined with other DAW plug-ins. The console Fader, mutes and relevant switches
are represented as plug-in parameters in a δ-Ctrl plug-in GUI and their automation data is recorded
to the automation lane of the selected DAW channel. In playback the plug-in converts the stored
automation data from the DAW into δ-Ctrl messages and routes these back to the console via the
SSL Logictivity Network connection.
Automation data can be viewed and edited as normal plug-in data in the DAW tracks. The Duality
Fader Absolute and Trim values are saved using the same dB law as Pro Tools Fader automation
so that the ‘Paste Special’ command can be used to copy existing Pro Tools fader data into the
plug-in. This feature is DAW specific and may not necessarily be available with other systems.
δ-Ctrl retains all the key operational elements of SSL’s Signature Mix System with much loved
features such as JOIN, REVISE, MOTORS OFF and SNAP Override all actioned from dedicated front
panel switches. The MOTORS OFF mode offers the full non moving fader SSL VCA mix experience as
preferred by key industry re-mixers. The New MOTORS OFF, Touch Write mode emulates the SSL G
Series Mix system Immediate Pickup (IP) option. δ-Ctrl also works with SSL AWS δelta consoles.

The Duality channel strip
Input
Duality features two switchable Mic Preamplifiers
on every channel, allowing you to choose from the
unrivalled purity of SuperAnalogue™, or the creative
possibilities of Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD)™.
The VHD™ circuit introduces controlled 2nd or 3rd
harmonic distortion to add warmth or grit. DAW line
level signals can also be fed into the VHD™ circuit
to creatively colour and enhance sterile DAW stems.
Both inputs offer 48V Phantom Power, Phase and Pad
switches.

EQ

Solo + Cut and Fader

Duality offers a 4-band, twin-curve SuperAnalogue™
EQ design, switchable between E Series operation
and G Series curves and control interaction. The HF
and LF bands feature a Bell curve option to allow a
fixed Q parametric response. Additional HF and LF
filters complete the EQ section.

Control your traditional analogue channel level,
your DAW’s channel faders or both at the same
time! Through SSL’s unique approach, Duality
offers unrivalled integration of today’s DAWs
within the analogue console paradigm. You can
even control the analogue mixer and the DAW
mixer simultaneously. Depending upon DAW used,
various functions can ‘flipped’ onto the faders
for enhanced real-time control. Duality features
high quality motorised faders with ‘fader linking’,
Automation activation, and DAW function display.
CUT, FX, CUE, INSERT and EQ switches respond to
automation.

Flexible routing options allow the channel
processing elements to be re-ordered to a wide
variety of configurations.

Dynamics
The classic SSL Dynamics processor
features three sections; the
Compressor (switchable between
traditional RMS and Peak Sense
modes), the Gate (with variable Hold
time) and the Expander. There is
also a Side Chain Listen feature for
full creative control.

CUE & Sends

5.1 Panner
The most comprehensive analogue surround
panning ever seen. In addition to standard
Left/Right pan, every console channel
features separate controls for Front/Rear
positioning, a dedicated LFE send and an
LCR divergence control.

Duality. This is SSL.

Each channel has a dedicated
Stereo CUE send, and four mono FX
sends. The innovative and flexible
EFX feature reassigns FX send level
controls to the Track Buses and
CHOP (Channel output) replicating
‘small fader’ functionality as well
as effortlessly sourcing zero latency
monitoring stems for personal
headphone mixes.

Channel TFT Screens
The amount of visual feedback provided by the console’s large
innovative TFT meter bridge screens is unsurpassed. Featuring
Level display (for both console and DAW channels), Track
Bus Routing assignment, Channel Processing order, Mix Bus
assignment, DAW Channel Status indicator (REC READY, SELECT,
EDIT), and Dynamics metering (for both Gain reduction and Gate).
A new innovation, SSL’s unique Eyeconix system allows operators
to place images of their choice onto the meter bridge, aiding track
recognition and enhancing workflow.

Centre Section and Routing
Duality features a comprehensive and elegantly organised mix
environment control section that enables the operator to set up and
manipulate routing, monitoring and transport from a single location.

Centre Section
The fully-featured centre section includes:
•	 Trackball, Group + Master Faders, DAW Transport & Numeric Location panel
•	 Comprehensive monitoring section with external feeds and full monitor speaker calibration
options, Oscillator and Noise Generator
•	 Talkback Mic and associated communications switches
•	 Main Output Bus functions (eg. Inserts, Summing, Mix Bus reassign etc.)
•	 Four dedicated Stereo returns
•	 Classic SSL Main Bus Compressor (both Stereo & 5.1)
•	 Master controls for Track, Foldback and CUE/FX buses
•	 Centre section TFT Metering
•	 Dedicated VU meters and moving coil phase meter
•	 DAW control TFT displays shows DAW status and plug-in parameters
•	 Four encoders and five buttons assignable to plug-in editing

Duality. This is SSL.

Routing Tile
The central Routing Tile provides centralised control
of channel routing, signal processing order, and other
facilities for a selected channel or across multiple
channels. Selections can be a contiguous range or a
selection of individual channels whose states can be
controlled together. The Routing Tile provides a speed
and comfort of operation not previously seen on an
analogue console and allows operators to stay in
the central monitoring ‘sweet spot’ while having full
access to channels positioned away from their reach.

Mix Reassign Matrix
A powerful and extremely useful
tool, allowing assignment of the
CUEs (A+B) and Track Buses 1-24 to
the main mix, which doubles up the
number of inputs on Mixdown or
Monitor Returns while recording. A
unique Stereo Downmix panel allows
complete control of the ‘fold down’
of a multichannel 5.1 mix to Stereo,
allowing the operator to seamlessly
move between surround and a
Stereo mix. Further 5.1 enhancement
is provided by the inclusion of LFE
filter frequency selection ideal for
cross platform 5.1 work.

Configuration and options
Duality is a self-contained system with no remote power supplies. Because the console is convection cooled it
has no need of fans and is silent in operation. Consoles are available fitted with 24, 48, 72 or 96 channel strips in
standard or ‘Pro-Station’ configurations.
Total RecallTM

Patch + 19” Racking

Speaker Shelves

SSL’s unique Total Recall system uses patented control
technology to enable the operator to quickly and
accurately manually return the analogue controls of the
console to a snapshot of stored settings.

Integral 19” rack sections with 10U of rack space are
available as an option. These may be used for outboard
effects units or to house the optional bantam patchbay.
This can be fitted internally to the console frame or may
be remotely mounted by the studio facility.

A flat shelf that fits over the top trim of the console,
suitable for the placement of near field monitors can be
retro-fitted to existing consoles without modification.

Angled Frames

The Duality TFT monitor arm attaches to the rear of the
console and holds either one or two monitors. It is the
most elegant way to securely position your preferred
DAW monitor close the control surface.

Producer Table
A producer’s section may be specified. This is 600mm
(23.6”) wide and has a flat, full depth table.

In addition to the Pro-Station option, standard consoles
can be specified with additional angled sections at split
points to achieve curved console configurations.
