SSL UC1

UC1 is a hardware controller for Plug-ins with dedicated controls for all the key parameters of the Channel Strip 2 add-on module. The EQ, Filters, Compressor, and Gate / Expander controls offer the same configuration and visual feedback found on large-format SSL consoles, allowing you to quickly find the optimal processing point for your channel.

Dedicated channel dynamics and EQ controls by function, the center section with full bus compressor controls, and an authentic moving-coil gain reduction meter combine to offer the most creative, intuitive, and ultimately effective way to control the new SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 Plug-ins within your DAW session.

At the heart of every UC1 system is the SSL 360° Mixer Plug-In, a place to view and control all your channels and bus compressors in one place. The Mixer Plug-In offers a new and exciting way to interact with plug-ins, allowing you to adopt a true console-like approach to mixing.

Developed from our digital modeling Plug-In of the renowned XL 9000K console, SSL Native Channel Strip 2 gives you everything you need to achieve that modern, radio-ready SSL sound in your DAW. SSL Native Plug-Ins are the only ones designed by the SSL engineering team at the Oxford headquarters, with exclusive access to the original data sheets and specifications from which the consoles were manufactured.

For UC1, Channel Strip has been updated to include patented anti-cramping algorithms, which prevent any form of phase and amplitude smearing. The result is simply the best-sounding SSL channel ever: full-bodied, distortion-free, and ready for anything that comes its way.

The design of encoders, switches, and color groupings on the UC1 offers professional SSL console ergonomics perfectly integrated with our most advanced Channel Strip and Bus Compressor add-ons to date. Multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously and precisely, providing you with a production tool that delivers unparalleled sonic flexibility and inspires operator confidence.

To further expand your workflow, pair the UC1 with the advanced DAW controller UF8.
