Solid State Logic 4K B Channel Strip Plu-In (Serial Nr + Download)
$549.00 AUD
This release sees the introduction of a brand-new channel strip plug-in; the 4K B, offering the sound of the legendary SL 4000 B-series console in your DAW.
The SL 4000 B was released in 1976 and was famously used in the ‘Stone Room’ at London’s Townhouse Studios. The console was responsible for countless iconic records, including Phil Collins’ ‘In the Air Tonight’, The Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Intruder’.
Expertly modelled, the 4K B plug-in is an authentic emulation full of tone, punch and rich non-linear analogue character – making it the perfect companion the cleaner 9K-inspired Channel Strip 2 plug-in.
The 4K B integrates seamlessly into the 360° Plug-in Mixer ecosystem and is fully controllable from UC1 and UF8 hardware.

The 4000 B EQ was the precursor to the Brown Knob EQ found on the 4000 E. A very musical sounding EQ.
The 4000 B Compressor is unique in that it's based on the Bus Compressor design: Peak detection and with a Feedback VCA topology in the sidechain. It also has a unique De-Esser mode.
The 4000 B was the console installed into 'Studio 2 - The Stone Room' at the legendary Townhouse Studios, London and used on seminal albums by Peter Gabriel, Phil Colins & XTC.
Not bad but needs time spent to get the most out of it.
Much of the default samples are very thin and I get that it's based on the original hardware though some options in the plugin would have been nice but not necessary. General operation is good both as plug in and stand alone with some excellent features. Auto fills work nicely. Looking forward to spending some more time with it to get the most out of it.
These are a fantastic solid stand. I have my. Adam A77h’s on them . However, if I’m wrong cable management would be a blessing on the back but have been to the hardware shop to get some cable clips.
