Solid State Logic’s AWS 900 is a revolutionary combination of a compact world-class analogue mixing console and a comprehensive DAW controller. Based on SSL’s flagship XL 9000 K Series console, the AWS 900 provides everything you need to record, edit and mix professional projects – just add the editor of your choice.

Solid State Logic mixing systems are the de facto standard in audio production, valued for their unrivalled audio quality and control ergonomics. SSL was the first company to integrate automation and machine control into the mixing console, and it pioneered surround mixing. The new AWS 900 delivers the same powerful integration benefits to DAW users, who face similar challenges with an array of equipment (Mic Amps, Effects, Controllers etc.) to produce professional results from a modern DAW.

AWS 900 Design Concepts
The AWS 900 is the only console that provides the dual benefits of a fully featured SuperAnalogue™ signal path, coupled with a comprehensive DAW controller. The product is a result of extensive customer feedback and market feedback.
