Avatar Recording Studios Continues SSL Tradition With Installaion of SL 9000 J Series Console
A premier four-room recording facility in midtown Manhattan, Avatar Recording Studios recently installed a 72-channel Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series console for tracking, mixing, and 5.1 projects. Zoe Thrall, president and general manager of Avatar Studios, says �Having worked with SSL for many years, I know the company�s reputations precedes itself. The facility has always had two SSLs and we wanted to continue that tradition.�
Since opening in 1996, Avatar has attracted some of the biggest names in rock, pop, and jazz, including the Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Aaliyah, and the Brecker Brothers. Thrall explains, �Adding SSL�s 9000 J was a natural progression for us. We considered all the digital consoles that are available today, but because Studio B is known as a tracking room, as well as a mix room, we wanted to maintain its analogue status.�
The SL 9000 J Series sets a new standard for analogue recording consoles. Combining high-quality analogue electronics with sophisticated digital control and automation, the console accommodates the evolving needs of modern audio production.
