Magic Happens . . . . . . Outside The Box

<Germano Studio In New York>

Duality is an analogue large format music console like no other. It is a console that carries the DNA of the SSL E, G & K Series that through the decades have defined and redefined what a music console should be. Duality takes the evolution into its next great leap forward by splicing the Digital Audio Workstation control and integration concepts of the AWS 900+ and all of the visual feedback advantages of the TFT displays from our C Series digital consoles into our analogue DNA.

Duality is the best of everything, an incredible powerhouse of possibilities. It combines the sonic edge of analogue audio with ‘at a glance' visual feedback and total DAW control right from the heart of the console… yet all that power is comfortable, familiar and inspiring to use.

Duality is the analogue console for the digital age.

• Dual Mic Pre's ? In addition to the pristine, ultra clean sound of the XL 9000 K SuperAnalogue™ Mic pre, each channel features a VHD™ mic pre. The unique ‘Variable Harmonic Drive' circuitry introduces controlled distortion of either second or third harmonic, providing variable valve-type warmth or transistor-type distortion on every channel.
• ‘Split Signal Flow Architecture' ? A new approach to signal flow that supercedes the in-line concept and enables channel processing resources to be placed in the input or monitor path. This means any desired combination of analogue channel processing can be used in conjunction with the DAW record path, whilst monitoring the rest of the signal path through the console remains extremely simple.
• Comprehensive Surround ? Duality features the most comprehensive and powerful 5.1 panning ever offered as standard on an analogue console. Every channel includes dedicated controls for LR/LCR, divergence, front/rear position & LFE level. Duality features four 5.1 stem busses in addition to the main 5.1 bus, a facility that usually requires heavy modification to accomplish in an analogue console. Duality also features a versatile 5.1 master bus compressor with a selection of average or peak channel sensing side-chain control.
• Workstation Control ? A high-resolution, digitally controlled gain element in each channel allows the motorized faders to be switched to control any DAW that supports the HUI or Mackie Control protocols, while retaining the analogue signal path. Duality features largeformat, high-quality, high-resolution faders that bring true precision to DAW control. The faders and their associated Channel Rotary Encoders provide direct control of DAW plug-ins, faders, pans, sends, input and output routing.
• Constant Visual Feedback ? Large TFT displays across all channels and center section deliver unprecedented visual feedback on input source, signal level, output routing, DAW status, processing order, channel routing and split channel architecture. A new Eyeconix feature offers the ability to use icons and images as track markers for simple, at a glance identification of track source.

Duality is the next generation console for those who love analogue but work digital.
