Why You Need The AWS 948 Analog Console DAW Controller with 48 Inputs: IN-LINE TRACKING is similar to the AWS 924 with either the MIC or the LINE signal providing the CHOP and Track Bus source. Normally this primary signal is level controlled by the V-Pot. However through “fader flip” it is possible to use the large fader instead. In this setup the secondary signal (DAW output/Monitor Return or the even the CH OP) goes to the Large fader. AUTO-M takes control of the RETURN switch to provide automatic monitor source switching between the channel paths, following the DAW transport status. The monitor path is heard in Play, and the input path is heard in Record or Stop. S-CUE employs automatic cue send source switching between the channel paths, following the DAW transport status, to provide full zero latency drop-in and record monitoring, a sum of both paths is heard in Play and only the input is heard when in Record or Stop. IN-LINE MIX provides identical operation to the AWS 924 channel strip with the exception that a second signal path is available as a Mix input in classic ‘In Line’ console fashion. In this mode the Channel V-Pot acts as the second input gain control (along with the associated SOLO/CUT switches). Furthermore the V-Pots level and mute status can be automated. This allows all 48 channel signal paths level and cut automation in the analogue domain. Note that it is also possible to move the Insert into the secondary path (ideal for X-Rack processing etc). Channel configuration and Setup is accomplished via the AWS 948 onboard TFT screen and soft keys, and it is even possible to move or divide the channels processing resources (EQ, Insert etc.) between each of the dual paths. Input Section: The AWS 948 Channel Input section features two balanced Line Inputs with +/-20dB of gain and a world class SuperAnalogue™ Mic Amp featuring continuous mic gain control (+15 to +75dB), phase reverse and switchable 48V phantom power. The -20dB PAD is intended for use with very high output microphones. The routing functionality of the Insert varies according to the three different operating modes. EQ Section: The Stereo EQ design featured on the AWS 948 is sonically identical to the SSL SuperAnalogue™ mono Channel EQ taken from the legendary XL 9000 K Series console and its current successor Duality. It is a highly flexible 4 band parametric EQ design. HF/LF and Mid Frequency bands are independently switchable between E and G series response curves and tonal characteristics. PRE places the Insert before the EQ section. In conjunction with the dynamics CHIP and CHOP routing keys, the order of the EQ, INSERT and DYNAMICS blocks can be re-ordered. HPF - 18dB/Octave high-pass filter with detente bypass position G-EQ Curve switch - toggles between the default ‘E-Series’ and ‘G-Series’ tonal characteristics and control interaction with independent switches for the HF/LF and Mid Frequency bands LMF - Low frequency parametric mid-band EQ HF - High frequency shelving equalizer switchable to fixed Q parametric response via the Bell switch HMF - High frequency parametric mid-band EQ section LF - Low frequency shelving EQ Switchable to fixed Q parametric response via the Bell switch Routing & Sends: Each channel has access to 2 main Stereo Busses (RECORD and MIX) in addition to 2 Stereo Cue busses and 4 mono FX sends. Every AWS Channel features a Direct Channel Output (CH OP) and can also feed 8 independent Track Busses. SSL’s unique “EFX” system is present on all channels significantly enhancing creativity by allowing free assignment of send controls. Pan/Width: In IN LINE MIX and IN LINE TRACKING modes the Pan control is a standard L/R pan control, in STEREO MIX mode it is a stereo Width control. For stereo signals the pan pot functions as a width controller with normal stereo image in the centre. When the pan pot is turned to the right an out of phase left component is introduced to the right signal, and vice-versa, resulting in a widening of the signal's width beyond the speakers. When the pan pot is turned left in-phase components are introduced into the signal in a similar way, resulting in a narrowing of the width with fully left being mono. Furthermore, stereo signal balance is controlled using the channel V-Pot. Digital Scribble Strips: When the AWS is in analogue mode the Digital Scribble Strips display name and parameter information for the selected analogue signal path. When the AWS is in DAW mode they display DAW channel and processing parameters. We are happy to announce a new promotion for AWS 924 and AWS 948!! AWS clients often look to SSL to provide solutions to complete their AWS centered rooms. Patchbays and cabling are often a complex consideration, and for several years we’ve offered a solution that provides a complete cabling system specifically tailored to maximize AWS features and make workflow even faster. This solution not only features tie line panels and bays into remote isolation rooms but is built by hand and harnessed to accommodate right or left orientation installations. All the leads are clearly labeled for easy connection to the back of the AWS. Once complete, the pre-harnessed cables neatly fit into the cable channel on the rear of the AWS. The system also accounts for several tie-lines to accommodate outboard equipment in the control room. A template is provided for printing custom labels. Starting October 1st 2019 and ending December 31st 2019, SSL will be offering this patchbay system FREE with the purchase of an AWS 948. A total $130,490 value!!
