Solid State Logic has announced v5.2 software for its SSL Live consoles and Solsa software, introducing integrated control of d&b Soundscape immersive loudspeaker systems and enhancing Rehearsal and Recorder functionality.
SSL Live consoles updating to v5.2 can control key Soundscape Object parameters – XY Pan, Spread, En-Space Send, Delay Mode and Mapping Area – from the channel detail view on every input channel and stem. The object-based control of Soundscape and GUI design allows operators to manipulate multiple parameters simultaneously, which can then be stored and recalled from within the console’s Showfile and scene memories.
‘As tours, events and houses of worship enhance their audiences experience with next-gen immersive loudspeaker systems, it’s important for Solid State Logic to support partners which have an established presence and technology in the space,’ says Director of Product Management, Tom Knowles. ‘We’re delighted to integrate control of d&b’s Soundscape system to further enhance SSL Live consoles operator experience.’
‘This collaboration between SSL and d&b audiotechnik puts the immensely powerful possibilities of spatial audio into the hands of even more audio creatives,’ adds Al McKinna, Vice President of d&b’s Immersive Business Unit. ‘SSL users will benefit from an intuitive workflow on an outstanding live console to harness the innovative power of d&b Soundscape. Workflow optimisations such as this result in more time spent on creating unforgettable moments that audiences come together to experience.’
Version 5.2 software also enhances Rehearsal and Recorder functionality, which includes multiple switching groups, flexible routing and locking override functions. Eight freely assignable switching groups can be used to manage multiple groups of instruments or different acts within the same Showfile, switching individual channels between live and playback is quick and simple. Free routing of the channel record sends and returns allows any I/O to be used to record any console channel or bus.
A new bulk routing UI provides a fast set-up to ensure all channel paths are recorded. Showfiles from pre-v5.2 automatically translate into the new rehearsal recorder system for a seamless upgrade.
Version 5.2 software will be available at the end of June 2023.
