SSL Fusion

SSL Fusion Overview

From one of the great masters of analog, the SSL Fusion is a powerful all-analog 2U stereo outboard processor designed for the modern hybrid studio. It features six innovative analog coloration tools that provide the perfect balance of tone, weight, and space to your mix bus or stereo stems.

With its real analog circuits, the Fusion delivers the warmth, detail, and finesse that only analog processing can provide.  It gives you natural-sounding harmonic distortion, smooth eq boosts and cuts, tape-like high-frequency compression, pleasing stereo image control, and transformer saturation for true analog richness!

The Fusion is a great choice for audio professionals looking to add some warmth and character to their recordings while maintaining precise control over their mix.
