For decades, large-format analog consoles have defined the sound of professional recording, but their greatest strength has also been their greatest limitation: complex sessions take time to revisit, reset and recall. The Solid State Logic Odyssey 24+8 analog console removes that barrier, introducing SSL's vision of "Future Analogue" through a fully analog signal path and patented ActiveAnalogue Instant Recall technology. Featuring a 24-channel control surface with a dedicated eight-fader center section, the Odyssey delivers the unmistakable depth, punch and musicality of an SSL console while enabling complete analog console states to be recalled in moments. Available in standard, ProStation and custom frame configurations, Odyssey transforms traditional analog production into a workflow that moves as quickly as today's artists, producers and engineers demand.
Every Channel Delivers the Signature SSL Sound
Each Odyssey channel combines SSL's latest analog circuit design with an exceptionally flexible in-line architecture that supports simultaneous recording and monitoring workflows. PureDrive microphone preamps provide pristine transparency or harmonically enhanced character through adjustable Drive control, while the fully analog channel dynamics section includes compressor, limiter, gate and expander processing with advanced sidechain routing and parallel compression capabilities. Switchable E and G Series four-band EQ curves, assignable high- and low-pass filters, independent insert points and separate record and monitor signal paths provide the familiar SSL workflow that has shaped countless landmark recordings. Stereo channel linking maintains matching accuracy to within fractions of a decibel, preserving precise imaging across the entire signal path.
ActiveAnalogue Redefines Analog Console Workflow
Odyssey's patented ActiveAnalogue technology fundamentally changes the way engineers interact with a large-format analog console. Ultrahigh-resolution digitally controlled analog circuits preserve the feel, responsiveness and sonic integrity of traditional hardware while making complete console recall virtually instantaneous. Premium 100 mm Large Faders and 60 mm motorized Small Faders support fast movement between tracking, overdubbing and mixing, while session revisions, alternate balances and client recalls become effortless instead of requiring lengthy reset procedures. The result is a truly analog production experience with the speed, repeatability and efficiency expected from today's most demanding studio environments.
Comprehensive Routing Supports Modern Production
The centre section brings every critical production function together in one highly configurable workspace, giving engineers immediate access to routing, monitoring, mix control and session management without leaving the listening position. Flexible bus architecture, stereo group inputs and comprehensive foldback capabilities support sophisticated analog, hybrid and immersive productions, while four stereo main mix buses, sixteen track buses and ten auxiliary buses provide extensive routing flexibility for demanding sessions. Integrated monitoring supports multiple speaker systems, external playback sources, talkback and third-party immersive processors such as Dolby Atmos renderers, allowing stereo and spatial productions to be managed comfortably from the primary listening position. Built-in THE BUS+ processing, analog Dynamic EQ and advanced stereo group architecture further expand Odyssey's sonic capabilities while maintaining complete phase coherence throughout the console.
Integrated Software Extends the Console Beyond the Surface
Odyssey seamlessly bridges analog production and modern DAW workflows through the O-Control Application Suite, SSL 360° integration and the O-Motion automation system. Engineers can prepare sessions offline, manage projects, presets and snapshots, inspect metering and configure console settings before artists arrive, streamlining session preparation and keeping complex productions organized. During mixing, advanced per-bay DAW control places workstation navigation alongside analog processing, while O-Motion records console moves directly into DAW automation lanes for precise editing, playback and recall. Modular processing racks, remote analog electronics and configurable straight, ProStation and custom frame options allow Odyssey to integrate elegantly into existing studios or become the centrepiece of entirely new facilities.
SSL's Future Analogue Vision Begins Here
More than another flagship console, Odyssey represents Solid State Logic's vision for the future of professional analog production. It preserves everything engineers value about large-format SSL consoles—the sound, the workflow and the tactile connection to the mix—while eliminating many of the compromises traditionally associated with analog recording. Designed for world-class studios, demanding engineers and productions where creativity cannot wait for technology, the Solid State Logic Odyssey 24+8 analog console with 24-channel rack delivers a future-ready workflow that combines uncompromising analog performance with unprecedented efficiency.
