Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this 500 Series compatible SSL SiX Channel Module. This module has been specifically designed to operate in a 500 Series enclosures such as the API lunchbox® or equivalent. In common with many such modules, the nominal input/output level is +4 dBu.
Mic Input (Rear XLR connector) The default microphone input uses SSL’s SuperAnalogue design and includes individually switched 48V phantom power. The Mic (XLR) input’s nominal impedance is 1.2 kΩ. The rear 500 Series enclosure XLR is the default input. Line Input (Front Panel TRS) The input source can be switched to the front panel ¼” TRS jack line input by pressing the ‘[Line]’ switch 1 on the channel. The nominal Line Input impedance is 10 kΩ. This can be changed to 1 MΩ using the Hi-Z switch.

Channel EQ 5 The EQ on the SiX Channel module is the same design as found in the SiX Console which has its roots in SSL’s classic E series EQ. It is a gentle, broad stroke two-band design with high and low shelving filters at 3.5 kHz and 60 Hz, adjustable from +15 dB to -15 dB of gain. Each band can be independently switched between shelving and bell curves using the BELL switch - a feature found on many SSL EQ designs.
