SSL deliver 10 AWS 900 Analogue Workstations to Schools of Audio Engineering

Console manufacturer Solid State Logic (SSL) has delivered AWS 900 Analogue Workstations to the Zurich and Liverpool branches of the School of Audio Engineering, bringing the total number of AWS 900 consoles installed at SAE schools to six.
SAE ordered 10 AWS 900 consoles after recognising that this revolutionary combination of a compact world-class analogue mixing console and comprehensive DAW controller was the perfect vehicle on which to train the audio engineers of the future. The seventh console, due to be installed in Singapore, will be in place within the next month.
The SAE Institute in London was one of the first SAE branches to take delivery of an AWS 900. Carlos Lellis, audio head lecturer, said: "The SSL AWS 900 is a great sounding and extremely flexible studio production tool. In our context of education it is also important because it provides the logical signal flow that we are used to from our SSL 4000G+ and Neve VR studios. With the SSL AWS 900 we are able to show our students the best of both worlds - analogue sound and console concepts, as well as its comprehensive ProTools control capabilities. The AWS 900 has become very popular with students since we installed it and it is also invaluable for future employment as more and more producers and studios begin to use it."
Since its launch in 2004, SSL’s AWS 900 Analogue Workstation has captured the imagination of music recording professionals who appreciate its combination of SuperAnalogue™ audio processing and sophisticated digital control, which make this the ideal console for workstation-based recording. Over 130 AWS 900s are now in use world-wide and the desk was recently honoured at the Tec Awards in New York where it won the Large Format Console Technology category, despite the fact that it measures in at just 57 inches.
This versatile workstation is proving popular in Iceland where Bjork’s engineer, Valgeir Sigurdsson, has installed an AWS 900 with AWSomation and Total Recall options at his privately owned Green House Studios in Reykjavik.
