Legendary SSL 4-Band parametric EQ with switchable E/G Series curves. Integrated THE BUS+ and Dynamic EQ processors. Flexible channel architecture - track, overdub, and mix with Oracle. Small & Large Fader paths with assignable EQ and Insert points. Flexible monitoring provides multiple stereo and immersive mix options. Insightful VU or Plasma 'style' metering with dynamic 'Detail View'. Advanced DAW control with SSL 360 integration. SSL Dynamic Automation System. O-Control App: offline tool for session preparation and console configuration. 13U 19" rack(s) houses all analogue circuity and can be located remotely, within the control room, or under the console. Merging the harmonic drive technology of the latest SSL PureDrive Mic Preamps, the current-driven busses introduced in ORIGIN, and various flavours of harmonic saturation accessible throughout the console. Oracle delivers instant recall and reset capabilities along with the sonic flexibility of SSL's latest analogue circuit design. Capable of producing beautifully precise SuperAnalogue audio, to a palette of driven analogue tones, Oracle embodies the DNA of the classic E, G, and J/K consoles while taking SSL’s sonic signature into the future. Oracle's 'Future Analogue' channel strip retains the much-loved elements of classic SSL consoles while integrating the latest analogue circuitry. Featuring stereo/dual mono channel strips that offer a second line level input per channel, each of Oracle's channels is a traditional in-line design with separate 'record' and 'monitor' paths, with independent input gain and output level control, and processing routing flexibility. Each channel features dedicated controls for input gain, filter, aux sends, four-band parametric EQ, in addition to an ultra-premium 100mm motorised fader which can be assigned to Small or Large Fader paths. High-resolution Channel Screen displays level, pan, and full track name. Located at the top of Oracle's Channel Strip are next-generation PureDrive Mic Pre's with dedicated Drive control, delivering a powerful 75 dB of gain and a broad range of tones. At the heart of every Oracle channel is a production tool that is relentlessly chosen by professionals to shape extraordinary mixes - the iconic "242 Black Knob" E Series EQ. This four-band parametric EQ offers switchable sonic characteristics, allowing you to toggle seamlessly between the constant-Q 'aggressive' sound of the E Series and the variable-Q 'smooth' character of the G. Both modes provide a dedicated HP Filter, selectable high- and low-frequency Shelf/Bell curves and fully parametric mid-frequency bands, delivering the distinctive tonal signatures of SSL's acclaimed EQ design legacy. EQ can instantly be moved between the Small Fader and Large Fader paths. All this processing power per channel may be 'linked' in odd/even channel pairs to provide a simple, single control set to handle stereo sources. Each path has an independent, switchable and movable Insert point, and is equipped with an independent Direct Output for direct stem or track output to the DAW. In addition to clear markings on the console surface, when Channel Detail View is accessed, the associated meter screen displays a breakout of all the channel parameters and routing, including both Large and Small Fader paths. Detail View displays interact with the per-bay Navigator control to allow 'scroll and control' access to all parameters, switch functions and signal routing.
