Solid State Logic has spent decades defining what a serious analog console looks, feels, and sounds like — and with the debut of the SSL ORACLE, they’re taking that legacy into the future.

This isn’t just another big desk. ORACLE is a next-generation large-format analog console that merges SSL’s unmistakable sound with a forward-thinking hybrid workflow, complete digital recall, and intelligent DAW control.

At Pro Audio Design, we’ve built rooms around every SSL format in the last 30 years — 4000, 9000, Duality, ORIGIN. We’ve worked with studios, artists, and engineers that demand more than hype — they demand performance, flexibility, and sonic integrity.

ORACLE delivers on all three.

What Is SSL ORACLE?

ORACLE is SSL’s first “Future Analog” console — a large-format, high-headroom analog console that doesn’t just integrate with your DAW… it speaks its language.

It’s a powerful combination of:

Classic SSL analog signal path
Advanced session recall & automation control
Built-in DAW communication
Modular, scalable channel count
A user interface designed for modern session workflows

It gives engineers what they’ve always wanted: the tone and feel of analog with the speed and convenience of digital.

What Makes ORACLE Different?

Here’s what sets ORACLE apart from every other console in its class:

🎚️ Dual Signal Path Per Channel

Every channel features two paths:

A fully discrete analog path with EQ, compression, auxes, and routing
A DAW-ready signal path for tracking, summing, stem mixing, and control

This means you can instantly flip a channel from tracking to mix mode — or from analog chain to DAW stem — without re-patching or switching hardware.

💾 Total Digital Recall

SSL’s Digital Recall System (DRS) gives you total session recall across the entire console:

Faders, EQ, filters, dynamics
Routing, sends, inserts
DAW and plug-in automation control

Recall sessions in seconds. Reload mixes without second guessing. ORACLE gives you the confidence and speed that today’s commercial sessions demand.

🧠 Deep DAW Integration

ORACLE is not a surface with analog bolted on — or vice versa. It’s a console built from the ground up for hybrid studio life, with deep DAW control for:

Pro Tools
Logic Pro
Ableton Live
Cubase / Nuendo
Studio One

From transport to plug-ins to session navigation, everything is right where you need it — under your hands, not buried in menus.

🎛️ Built-in SSL Bus Compressor (Evolved)

The iconic SSL G Bus Compressor is front and center — with new sidechain control and routing options that make it even more flexible. Whether you’re printing stems or summing to stereo, this is the sonic glue you want on your mix bus.

📐 Two Scalable Formats

ORACLE comes in two main configurations:

ORACLE 24 — 64 mix inputs in a single-rack format. Clean, powerful, built for elite rooms.
ORACLE 48 — 112 mix inputs in a dual-rack format. For heavy-hitters, scoring stages, and immersive environments.

These aren’t stripped-down or limited versions. You get the same workflow, tone, and feature set — scaled to match your session needs.

Who Is SSL ORACLE For?

This console isn’t for everyone. It’s built for:

Commercial studios competing at the highest level
Film, TV, and game audio facilities managing hybrid workflows
Multi-Grammy-winning mix engineers handling a mix of tracking, summing, and Atmos sessions
Artists, producers, and label studios demanding flexibility with no sonic compromise
Facility designers building future-proof control rooms

If you're managing fast-turnaround projects, stem-heavy sessions, and clients expecting pro results on a tight timeline — ORACLE gives you the power and agility to deliver.

The ORACLE Workflow in Action

Here’s how ORACLE transforms your control room:

Morning: Tracking a live vocal session through Class-A analog EQ and compression
Afternoon: Mixing stems from multiple producers — with full recall of each
Evening: Bouncing Atmos mixes via your DAW — with tactile automation
Next day: Recalling yesterday’s analog mix — with fader and EQ settings exactly where you left them

One console. Zero compromise.
