And while I still wish SiX as in fact a EighT or a TeN (see what I did there) I totally get the SiX concept. 4 mic channel strips and 2 stereo is the absolute minimum. Most of us including me said 6 channels is just not enough. There was a great deal of head scratching from myself and the Production Expert team when we first heard about SiX. Think of SiX as an audio Swiss-Army knife only designed in the UK and built in China. Then one day you will have a client ask you for a thing that you have never done before and the answer is going to be possible with the use of SiX. SiX is a mixer and it just sounds great and what ever you use it for be that live events, studio monitoring, input channel strip, summing mixer, voice over work or full on studio production it’s going to fit into your work-flow perfectly. Not being tied to a particular digital or computer connectivity format could be one of the best things SSL decided not to put into SiX as it’s not going to age as fast as if it had say a Thunderbolt port and hooked up to your Mac or PC. I think it’s a bit of an ask to get podcasters to fork out around £1300 for these things but I can see SiX being the centerpiece of many a post production or edit suite. If you really want to, you can put 13 signals at a time into the Master Bus. The name SiX is almost a bit too misleading. It took me about 5 minutes before I really grasped the power inside the SSL SiX.
