XL9000K
In order to expand the sonic options of Console 1, Softube oers other console emula-
tions to be purchased separately, in addition to the included SL 4000 E model. e rst
such additional console model is Solid State Logic XL 9000 K. is can be purchased
in Softube’s web store (www.softube.com/buy) or at any authorized Softube dealer.
Solid State Logic XL 9000 K represents a completely dierent approach to analog
circuits compared to the SL 4000 E channel that is included with Console 1. And since
the XL 9000 K, thanks to the amazing Super Analogue technology, has virtually no
distortion of its own, the Softube channel also includes a model of SSL’s famous VHD
(Variable Harmonic Distortion) circuit.
While Solid State Logic’s SL 4000 E is widely considered a great pop and rock’n’roll
console with its slightly gritty and forward sound, the circuit design of XL 9000 K of-
fers an extreme bandwidth, minimal phase shift and super low distortion. is makes it
one of the world’s most popular analog consoles for hip-hop and R’n’B, where the solid,
deep low end and extended highs work great for getting that hyper modern, large and
wide sound. For the same reasons, it is also loved for classical and acoustic audiophile
recordings.
