Live is all about power and control. Based on SSL's new Tempest processing platform, Live has plenty of power and it is deployed in a uniquely versatile way.

The headline numbers are impressive at the price with 976 inputs & outputs and 192 full processing audio 'paths' at 96kHz. How those 'paths' are configured is extremely flexible with power allocated to Channels, Auxes, Stem Groups and Masters configured to suit the needs of each show. All processing is built into the console surface and it has a collection of I/O connectivity built into the frame. A full range of Stagebox I/O connects to the console via MADI with the potential for larger systems to make use of SSL's own Blacklight technology that carries up to 256 channels of bi-directional audio and control via a single fibre connection.
