The Unmistakable Sound of the Early 1980s!
The Revival 4000 is an analog channel strip from Solid State Logic that brings the unmistakable sound of the SL 4000 consoles from the early 1980s into your studio. It's the sound that shaped the music of legendary artists like Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, Prince, U2, Metallica and many others.
The Revival 4000 is based on the circuits of the 4000B and E-series mixers, which form the foundation of the SSL legacy with their characteristic sound and a wide range of flexible options.
The first version of the 4000 series was introduced in 1976 and revolutionized music production — with groundbreaking hits like "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. In 1979 SSL then introduced the most influential console of all time — the SL 4000E. It became the centerpiece of legendary studios such as Abbey Road, Electric Lady and The Hit Factory and enabled legendary engineers like Hugh Padgham (David Bowie, Paul McCartney, The Police), Chris and Tom Lord-Alge (James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Santana) and Andy Wallace (Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana) to craft their sound.
The Revival 4000 combines sonic excellence with many authentic features of that mixer series in a compact 19" format. From the E-series it includes the transformer-balanced preamp, the discrete Class-A VCA dynamics section and the legendary parametric EQ with switchable Brown Knob / Black Knob character. The 4000 B-series is represented by its uncompromising de-esser.
Flexible routing, a balanced insert point and the sidechain link complete the Revival 4000 as a 19" package that is an indispensable addition to any modern studio.
