Solid State Logic Matrix2
Hybrid Console for the Modern Studio
Boasting stunning SuperAnalogue sound quality, ultra-smooth workflow options, and extremely warm analog summing, the Solid State Logic Matrix2 delivers the large-format console benefits serious engineers demand. A total of 40 inputs and 16 motorized faders for both tracking and DAW control more than meets the demands of most small professional facilities and project studios, and a combination of six aux buses and four stereo returns with full stereo mix bus routing makes it easy to integrate all of your outboard gear as well. Top it off with amazing multilayer DAW control, powerful communications, and X-Rack system integration, and the ultra-modern Matrix2 line-level console is your ticket to mixing perfection.
A perfect modern console for your outboard gear
With no microphone preamplifiers, equalizers, or dynamics processors onboard, the Matrix2 eliminates a huge chunk of circuitry from your signal path while providing ample connections for your outboard gear. Each of the Matrix2's 16 channels includes a main input, a DAW return input, and an insert point. This insert point actually connects to the console's Insert Matrix, which lets you route your outboard gear to each channel with the flexibility of using a software plug-in. You can even use the Insert Matrix to A/B different processing chains, and since you can control everything from software, fitting this feature into your mixing workflow is easy. And when you're finished mixing, you can take advantage of 40 inputs for incredible analog summing.
X-Rack integration for Total Recall
Total Recall has been one of the most characteristic features of SSL consoles for generations, and the Matrix2 brings a whole new level of software control to this invaluable tool. Thanks to the Total Recall tab in the Matrix Remote application, taking TR snapshots and keeping them organized is a piece of cake. Several of the Matrix2's settings can be automatically recalled, and LED indicators on the rest of the controls make recall as painless as possible. What's more, the Matrix2's Total Recall fully supports up to six SSL X-Rack modules, allowing you to save and recall settings on your compatible outboard gear.
