Building on the success of 360° Link and Link Bus Compressor plug-ins, SSL 360° V2.0 further evolves the U Series ecosystem. Users can now manage multiple Channel Strip and Bus Compressor plug-ins more efficiently within the SSL Plug-in Mixer, while Hybrid Mode Pt.1 bridges workflows between the Plug-in Mixer and DAW. Firmware updates for SSL 12 and SSL 18 bring full customisation of monitor knob outputs, ideal for immersive and multi-output setups.
