Meet the Solid State Logic Oracle – a revolutionary new analogue console with instant recall and reset capabilitiesSolid State Logic has unveiled the Oracle, a new console which offers SSL’s signature analogue sound, but with groundbreaking and revolutionary instant recall and reset capabilities.
While SSL’s SL 4000E console – launched in 1979 – introduced total recall, allowing engineers to save the settings of the console on a floppy disk, they still had to manually adjust all the parameters to match the saved settings of a previous session.

But the Oracle – dubbed a “future analogue console” – is able to instantly recall settings from previous sessions with no manual input required, no doubt bringing huge time-saving benefits to engineers.

“Oracle fulfils the dreams of producers, engineers, and studio owners around the world: a true professional solution, delivered with SSL quality, reliability, and support,” SSL says.
The new recall capabilities come courtesy of SSL’s new ActiveAnalogue technology, which combines the classic sound of SSL’s analogue processing and summing with ultra-precise adjustment and an active recallable control system.
As the brand explains, the ability to instantly switch between mixing or tracking setups – “in less time than it takes the artist to switch tracks” – will “significantly increase the potential throughput of any studio facility, while delivering the authentic analogue tone that artists and producers crave”. And the Oracle offers all of this in a compact AWS-size footprint, too.

Elsewhere, engineers can choose between 24 or 48 mono line-in channel setups, and other features include four stereo mix busses, 16 track busses, 10 aux busses and 16 stereo ‘Flex’ groups.
The Oracle also features next-gen PureDrive mic pres with ‘Drive’ control, SSL’s “legendary” four-band parametric EQ with switchable E/G Series curves, integrated THE BUS+ and dynamic EQ compressors, flexible channel architecture, small and large fader paths with assignable EQ and insert points and flexible monitoring options.
There’s also VU or plasma-style metering with dynamic ‘Detail View’, as well as advanced DAW control with SSL 360 integration.
“The Oracle is capable of producing the beautifully precise sounds of SuperAnalogue audio, to a palette of driven analogue tones, and everything in between,” SSL explains. “From an SSL legacy perspective, Oracle embodies the DNA of the classic E, G, and J/K consoles, while taking SSL’s sonic signature into the future.”
MusicTech has been on location at Bath’s Real World Studio to see the Oracle in the flesh. We’ll be bringing you our thoughts very shortly…
