This Solid State Logic BiG SiX SuperAnalogue Mixing Console Kit from B&H adds a UV EQ 500-Series UltraViolet stereo equalizer to sculpt instruments, enhance busses, and fine-tune master mixes with minimum phase shift and maximum precision.
Fusing proven hit features from 40 years of legendary large-format SSL consoles with user-requested enhancements to the SiX mini mixer, the Solid State Logic BiG SiX is a 12-channel SuperAnalogue mixing console and 16x16 USB audio interface offering SSL's high-end sonic signature, powerful analog processing, and versatile configurability in a frame that's equally at home stationed in a studio or living life on the road.
It features four mono input channels—each containing a console-grade SuperAnalogue microphone preamp with phantom power, a high-pass filter, and up to 72 dB of gain, plus a line / Hi-Z 1/4" input—and four stereo input channels. The mono channels boast single-knob compressors, 3-band EQ, and balanced insert points for flexible onboard and outboard processing, and all channels are outfitted with smooth 100mm faders.
Fully equipped to function as the hub for your recording session operations, the BiG SiX provides an XLR talkback mic input with selectable phantom power, the LMC (SSL's heralded Listen Mic Compressor), and adjustable output level. Separate talk buttons enable the talkback signal to be sent to either or both of the two cue buses, which can be sourced from the channel cue sends or external inputs. Connect the rear-panel 1/4" foldback outputs to your headphone amps, and plug in control room headphones to the top-panel headphone jacks. After all recording is done, this desktop console grants 18-input summing at mixdown. With a G-Series stereo bus compressor on the main mix bus, a pre-fader mix insert, and an alternate B bus (great for parallel mix compression), the BiG SiX is highly capable of handling in-demand mixing styles. Also, its comprehensive control room section accommodates two sets of speakers, source selection, and easy access to mono, dim, and mute functions.

Infused with technology from SSL's Fusion analog processor, the Solid State Logic UV EQ is a double-slot 500 Series UltraViolet stereo equalizer that offers minimum-phase performance, four flexible bands, and a high-pass filter for musicians and engineers at any level. Given its sonic versatility and modular form factor, the UV EQ is a stellar addition to home studio setups, mobile recording rigs, and racks in commercial facilities.
The high and low bands are shelving filters with up to 9 dB of boost or cut and four different frequency options per band. The midrange bands are fully parametric, with sweepable frequency and Q controls and switchable gain range (±9 dB by default or ±18 dB in Focus mode). You can also keep the low-end power under control by activating the 18 dB/octave high-pass filter, which features frequency selections at 30, 40, and 50 Hz. There's also a dedicated output trim to allow convenient gain matching or driving converters to clipping.
