Solid State Logic Launch PURE DRIVE QUAD and PURE DRIVE OCTO Microphone Preamplifiers


Solid Slate Logic's PURE DRIVE QUAD and OCTO features four/eight microphone preamps with famed PURE and DRIVE modes and a new 'Asymmetric' Drive, complete with USB-C interface


Solid State Logic (SSL) announced the launch of two new 2U rack-based studio tools: the PURE DRIVE QUAD and PURE DRIVE OCTO microphone preamplifiers. These preamplifiers are available in 4-channel (QUAD) or 8-channel (OCTO) configurations, and both incorporate SSL's SuperAnalogue PureDriveâ„¢ Technology, which was initially introduced by the company's acclaimed ORIGIN recording console. Additionally, these units feature a newly introduced DRIVE mode, comprehensive analog and digital connectivity options and an integrated USB-C soundcard. SSL's latest offerings represent some of the most feature-rich outboard microphone preamplifiers on the market, introducing a host of new sonic possibilities and workflows for the discerning producer and recording engineer.

SSL's contemporary-classic recording console, ORIGIN, introduced the PureDriveâ„¢ microphone preamplifier. This preamp retains the clarity and punch of previous SSL designs while offering the added versatility of switching its character to a warm, harmonically rich, and driven tone that varies with gain. PURE DRIVE QUAD and OCTO deliver four/eight microphone preamps with ORIGIN's renowned PURE and DRIVE modes, but take it further, adding a new 'Asymmetric' Drive, comprehensive digital connectivity, and an onboard USB-C interface. PURE DRIVE QUAD and OCTO also offer four mic preamp input impedance options, enabling engineers to explore various tonal possibilities or match the Mic Pre's impedance closely to the microphone. Additionally, each mic pre includes independent +48V phantom power, polarity inversion, and a High Pass Filter, which is sweepable on QUAD.

The PURE DRIVE QUAD and OCTO offer a collection of features and workflows never seen before in an outboard mic pre," stated Andy Jackson, Senior Product Manager - Studio Products, Solid Slate Logic, "They stand as a testament to SSL's commitment to progressive analogue circuit design, offering exceptional performance and versatility."
