Next Generation Engineers and Producers Train on SSL Equipment

NEW YORK — Solid State Logic Duality and AWS 900+ SE consoles continue to be the equipment of choice for educational institutions. Even through the difficult world economic situation, North American educational facilities look to SSL for cutting edge products that fulfill degree requirements, while providing students hands-on experience with consoles found in studios of all levels throughout the industry.

“We are gratified by the continued strong sales into educational facilities,� says Piers Plaskitt, CEO of SSL, Inc. “Next generation engineers in music, post production and music broadcast are training on Duality and AWS 900+ SE equipment because of the DAW control, sophisticated signal routing and sterling sound quality professional studios have relied on for decades.�

Duality Educational Placements:
The Duality has seen great success with recent placements at a wide variety of institutions. SSL just announced the purchase of a 72-fader Duality SE by Full Sail University, Florida. This installation joins Duality placements at NYU, New York; University of Lethbridge, Alberta; Cuyahoga Community College, Ohio; Mediatech Institute, Oceanside Campus, California and Citrus College, Louisiana. These institutions represent a growing number of educational facilities relying on Duality to deliver a technology platform suitable for advanced instruction in audio recording arts.

“Studio A is a large performance and teaching space and the SSL Duality is the perfect console for our mission now and into the future,� says Tommy Wiggins, program manager for the Recording Arts and Technology degree program at Cuyahoga Community College. “Duality combines great analogue sound and extensive DAW control. The console lets us teach the art of acoustic recording to young engineers and musicians who are used to creating music with sample-driven computer programs.�

AWS 900+ SE Educational Placements:
AWS 900+ SE continues to be a success formula for educators with recent placements at Kennesaw State University, Georgia; Mississippi Valley State University; Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma and Miami Dade College, Florida.
