And since XL 9000 K has virtually no distortion of its own, the Softube channel also includes a model of SSL's famous VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"features\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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 offers an extreme bandwidth, minimal phase shift and super low distortion. This 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eVHD model included \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXL 9000 K is a very clean console. In order to still have the option of using distortion creatively, we added a model of Solid State Logic's VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) circuit, which is part of the Duality series consoles and Alpha channel preamps. The Drive knob on Console 1 determines the amount of distortion, and the Character knob moves the added distortion from 2nd order (more tube-like) to 3rd order (more transistor-like), or any in-between blend—just like on its analog counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eExtended gate and compressor options\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the Shape section of the XL 9000 K for Console 1 features a fully controllable gate unit, where the Punch and Sustain knobs control Range and Hold levels. This makes it more individually controllable compared to the SL 4000 E model, where a fast workflow was prioritized. The compressor can be switched between Peak and RMS modes, which gives a wide range of options. The equalizer is clean, smooth and natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eHistory\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the first 9000 series console came out in in the mid-1990s, it represented a breakthrough in analog circuitry design. The sound path is entirely capacitor-free, in order to keep a perfect signal integrity and low distortion. The XL 9000 K was the last and most developed version of the 9000 series, released in 2002. It is this version that forms the backbone of Peter Gabriel's RealWorld Studios, Wyclef Jean and Jerry Wonda's Platinum Sound, and Michael Brauer's room in Electric Lady Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eIn Short\u003c\/h1\u003e\nWide, large, smooth sound\u003cbr\u003eVHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) model added\u003cbr\u003eExtended gate and compressor features\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRegistration Information\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRegistration Code: http:\/\/www.softube.com\/register.php  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Softube","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53052927934748,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1983\/4140\/files\/softubesslxl9000knew.jpg?v=1758876075","url":"https:\/\/jrrshop-3235.myshopify.com\/products\/sslxl9000kforconsole1","provider":"jrrshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
