Next generation technology for large-scale broadcast production
System T is the first of a new generation of dedicated broadcast audio production systems from Solid State Logic. For more than 30 years SSL has been at the forefront of innovative broadcast console design, and has incorporated decades of research and customer feedback into the development of System T.
True innovation in technology and conceptual design are combined within System T to deliver a whole range of advances:
- Fully networked production environment.
New ways to combine multiple Control Interfaces, Processor Cores and I/O devices can be specified to create previously impossible system configurations. - Exceptional Audio quality and performance
SSL’s pristine SuperAnalogueTM foundations combine with 64-bit floating point processing and mixing to ensure unlimited audio headroom with the power to execute algorithms within a single sample. Broadcast specific path processing is augmented by an inbuilt comprehensive FX Rack. - Dante AoIP-based Routing & I/O
Cost saving, true scalability, interoperability and discoverability. The Dante AoIP network integrates the AES67 transport standard. System T is SMPTE 2110-30 ready. SSL is the only broadcast audio manufacturer to offer full routing control of the Dante network from within our consoles and control interfaces. - Multi-gesture touch screen technology
Greatly expanding the range of controls that can be quickly accessed with reduced overall size. System T offers fixed format and modular control surfaces which are highly configurable to suit individual preferences. Architectural flexibility enables channel signal flow suited to the most sophisticated users that can also be presented straightforwardly to match the skill and workflow of a full range of users.
The perfect balance of power and control
There are three main elements to System T: a Dante AoIP based Routing & I/O system which combines SSL’s own Dante ready Network I/O range of audio interfaces with over 1000 third party Dante enabled products, Tempest based rack Processors that deliver the most powerful and versatile audio processing engine available today, and control interface technology that combines a range of consoles with remote hardware, software and touch screen technology.
Fully Networked Control Interfaces
SSL has nearly four decades of classic audio console design legacy with many of the hardware and software control surface paradigms taken as standard today having first appeared on an SSL console. System T takes this DNA and creates a new broadcast specific set of Control Interfaces that combine hardware panels with large tablet style multi-touch screens in a fully networked environment. Fixed format compact consoles and modular large format consoles can be combined with remotely located computers, or touch screen terminals and remote hardware panels. Up to three Control Interfaces can share a single processor engine simultaneously, facilitating for example, an entertainment production with one surface for a music mix and a second for a production mix using a single engine. Multiple engines can be connected to a single console VLAN and interfaces can be moved between engines. The various approaches to remote control capability enable true facility wide control infrastructure design.
Routing & I/O
With System T, Dante AoIP network technology (with complete AES 67 capability) replaces traditional TDM routing with an ecosystem that offers a wide range of operational and commercial benefits. Dante is a licensed IP Audio Network technology which uses standard IT infrastructure for audio transport, routing, device discovery and control. Dante is high capacity, incredibly versatile and fully scalable. A single gigabit network connection can carry 512 audio channels at 48kHz, or 256 channels at 96kHz. With 512 audio channels bi-directionally on a 1GB connection, a single 24 Port GB Switch is capable of equivalent routing capacity to a 12,288 by 12,288 TDM router at a fraction of the cost. Expansion of a network is not subject to the square law growth required when expanding TDM routing systems; additional switches and capacity can be deployed without replacing core hardware.
Dante offers fully inter operable system design; over 350 licensed development partners with more than 1000 devices commercially available enabling you to select and combine devices from different manufacturers. The system includes full current AES67 and future ready SMPTE 2110-30 audio transport capability. System T offers full routing control of the Dante network from within our consoles and control interfaces. Routing control can be achieved from an unlimited number of devices or network terminals. Dante employs full plug and play device discovery enabling devices to be moved around the network and re-connected with settings intact. Fully redundant network topologies widely used and proven in many IT applications provide the security required for Broadcast infrastructures.
SSL Network I/O interfaces bring renowned SSL audio performance to Dante networks. They can be used as standalone solutions or used with System T to complete powerful facility wide systems. Five different devices offer mic/ line analogue, MADI, AES and SDI embed/de-embed capability wherever it is required. System T Control Interfaces and SSL Dante Control Software offer remote control over SSL mic/line I/O across the network.
Processor Engine(s)
Tempest processor engines deploy SSL’s patented Optimal Core Processing (OCP) software using arrayed industrial PC hardware in a controlled operating environment. Housed in a 4RU chassis there are two different Engines available, The T80 (offering 800 path capacity) and the T25 (offering 256 path capacity). Paths and processing can be dynamically allocated in real time without interrupting audio. With 3072 inputs and 3072 outputs per engine, System T can handle any large-scale production. Tempest engines can be deployed as mirrored redundant pairs and if required each engine can be placed in separate fire zones. Near instant audio changeover happens via up to 6 Network I/O HC bridging cards, each providing 512 channels of inputs and 512 outputs.
Power meets flexibility
System T offers exceptional power and flexibility with 3072 input and 3072 output connections. The T80 Engine provdes 800 active audio paths and the T25 Engine provides 256. Paths are pooled and consumed dynamically according to user configuration. Any console configurations within pool limits are possible. Channel or bus paths can be added or reconfigured at any time without rebooting and without interruption to audio. A pool of up to 192 mono mix busses with the T80 Engine or 128 with the T25 Engine can be used as desired within defined maximums for each bus type (providing up to 16 Master Buses, 32 Stems, 32 Auxes, 48 Mix Minus Buses and 64 Track Buses). Paths and buses can be freely configured in a range of formats up to 5.1. Path configuration is via an intutive drag and drop interface.
Path Processing
Dedicated path processing provides EQ’s (T80 x 800, T25 x 256), Dynamics (T80 x 800, T25 x 256) and Delays (T80 x 400, T25 x 128). The primary signal path has eight process blocks that can be configured in any order using a drag and drop interface. These are preceded by the Path gain trim (and Input selection/conditioning on Channels). The primary path output feeds either the panning and bus routing (channels and stems) or is available as a source in the main console signal routing (buses). Two dynamics sections can be activated in each path to facilitate cascaded Compressor/Limiter configurations, or adding dynamics to the channel direct output, mix minus or track bus send. An insert send accesses additional signal processing in the System T FX Rack or external hardware via the console routing.
System T FX Rack
The System T FX Rack includes a comprehensive set of SSL’s acclaimed studio quality signal processors with their own dedicated DSP pool. The selection includes loudness metering, additional tone and dynamic shaping, reverbs, room simulation, ambience processing, dialogue noise reduction, signal generation and analysis tools. Effects are accessible via the Path inserts, or via the console routing using the Aux and Track buses for parallel time based effects. All settings are saved in the System T Showfiles and snapshot automation.
Fully networked control options
System T control interfaces allow extremely flexible and adaptable configurations. Multiple compact S300 console and modular S500 large format consoles can be combined within a single system. Additional control interfaces including console bays, control surface elements, Tempest Control Racks and PCs running ‘T-SOLSA’ remote control software are added remotely across the network to suit production requirements. Up to three control interfaces can use a single processor core. Multiple processor cores can be used on a single network.
Advanced intuitive ergonomics
System T offers a full range of hardware control interfaces that be combined in a wide variety of ways to create precisely the right system for each installation or application. Each element of the System T control interface offers a combination of traditional broadcast production workflow and new ways for operators to control their audio environment. SSL’s deep experience with control surface ergonomics has delivered an interface that unites gestural touch screen technology, hardware control and intelligently designed workflow. It accommodates a range of working styles so that mixing engineers from a range of backgrounds can immediately benefit from its advanced capabilities.
S500 – Scalable Modular Control Surface
From a single bay to multi operator consoles
The System T - S500 control surface takes a modular approach. It offers a range of touchscreen and hardware tiles that can be combined with an optional meter bridge, within a collection of console frames to create a completely scaleable control system.
S300 – Compact Control surface
Streamlined Intuitive Control
The S300 is a fixed layout compact control surface that can be combined with the complete portfolio of System T control, processing and I/O options. It can be specified as part of a larger System T installation or in stand-alone configurations for smaller broadcast facilities or OB vehicles.
Remote Tiles & Touchscreens
Control wherever it is required
System T is designed for truly versatile, distributed control via a console connectivity VLAN. S300 can be specified with remote user interfaces which can combine PC’s running T-SOLSA with touchscreens and remote S500 Fader Tiles. Creation of additional operator positions in Production Galleries or additional control rooms is straightforward.
Tempest Control Rack
The power of System T without a console in just 7RU
The Tempest Control Rack is a stand-alone System T control client and as such can be specified along with a Tempest Engine to create a fully functional system without a console. It can also be specified alongside consoles and other control interface options. It is a 3RU rack enclosure that contains a PC and an optional retractable 15.6" touchscreen. Read More
Streamlined powerful software for the touchscreen age
Multi-gesture touch screens, now ubiquitous and everyday, offer the means to present control of a very large range of parameters quickly, intuitively and in a compact space. Every aspect of the system is logically organised with a clear and intuitive GUI. Console layout management is quick and easy with a drag and drop interface. GUI layouts re-flow to give selected detail views more visual space with intuitive screen tap control. EQ, Dynamics and Processor interfaces feature quick, easy and adaptable drag and pinch control that will be instantly familiar to tablet users.
Channel View
The Channel View provides clear and logically organised overview and interface for detailed channel information. This GUI lines up with the faders in the Fader Tile and provides touch access for all the path functions. SSL Eyeconix displays ensure that channel identification is immediate. Double tapping individual channels opens up detailed GUI’s for routing assignments, EQ, Dynamics and Panning.Uniquely, System T allows changes in path processing order and bus architecture on the fly through straightforward drag and drop actions. The Quick Encoders in the Fader Tile work in conjunction with selected Channel View functions.
Overview Screen
In live applications an at-a-glance view of the whole console’s signal flow is essential.The Overview Screen provides this on a touchscreen that enables the operator to immediately access a channel or bus that needs attention. Selection of any channel or bus to the Focus Fader and Channel Tile is literally one press away at all times. With meters and bright red overload indicators for every input and output, identifying such sources is easy and a single press brings the full set of path controls to hand. Colour coding enables input channels, mix buses, auxiliaries, mix minuses, main outputs and VCA groups to be readily recognised.
System Configuration
System T software includes all setup GUIs directly on the console’s large touch screen. Additional channels or busses can be configured without audio interruption via the Console Configuration page. Layer Manager provides intuitive drag and drop assignment of paths to any hardware fader. Physical Dante I/O configurations can be organised, managed and easily searched and routed with SSL’s unique I/O tagging and logical device I/O management and routing GUIs. Showfile management, Presets, Event Manager (GPIO and Macro programming), Access control, Scene Automation and other options all benefit from intuitive on screen graphical interfaces.
Integrated KVM Switching (S500 only)
Not only do the the console’s channel view and overview screens intelligently swap locations as you work at different parts of the console, so can other external devices. An inbuilt KVM provides three external video inputs, two of these include USB connectivity to enable touchscreen control. Whether it’s the overall Broadcast control and monitoring system, a digital audio workstation or playout system, the intercom software or even an office computer, any software from any system in a facility can now be viewed and controlled without moving from the mixing console.
Remote Software Control
The SOLSA (the SSL On/Offline Setup Application) is an invaluable tool that can be used offline to prepare for productions or online as a remote control application, directly connected or via suitable wi-fi. The application mirrors all of the console’s functionality without the audio processing: configurations can be built, input routing assigned and named, buses allocated, effects inserted, VCA and mute group subgroups setup and Eyeconix images allocated.
During a production SOLSA can be used running on PC’s with touchscreen interfaces to provide parallel parameter access and independent monitor controls to enable additional operators to manage supplementary tasks. For example, an assistant could prepare and deal with routing whilst the main mixer focuses on the mix, while a third engineer could remix premixes from the main mix to simultaneously generate a local language version or other mix variant.
SOLSA also acts as a useful training tool enabling users to get up to speed offline at their convenience.
Tempest Control Rack
Control interface PC in a 3U rack with retractable touchscreen
The Tempest Control Rack (TCR) offers an ideal solution for broadcast environments where a powerful broadcast audio mixer is required but a traditional console is not. The Tempest Control Rack consists of a 3 RU PC enclosure with an optional retractable 15.6” touchscreen. TCR runs the complete System T control software so acts as a stand-alone control interface for a System T installation. The custom screen mounting system enables the screen to be used at a wide range of angles, allowing the unit to be mounted in a traditional 19” rack or in angled studio furniture. TCR features dual PSU, Primary and Secondary OCP Network Connections, Primary and Secondary Dante Networks connections, Studio Integration Network connections (for Production Automation systems) and SSL Network connectivity for other System T control interfaces or T-SOLSA control from any PC on the network. There are HDMI and DVI-D video outputs, plus front and rear panel USB connections for Keyboard, Mouse and USB storage devices.
When combined with a T25 (or T80) Engine, the Tempest Control Rack creates a standalone System T mixer in a rack. This combination is ideal for Production Automation controlled studios or can be combined with SSL Stageboxes to create a ‘Flypack’ for remote production.
TCR for Station Automated Audio Production
The combination of the Tempest Control Rack (TCR), a System T processor Engine and SSL Network I/O delivers a system that is ideally suited to Production Automation driven facilities. System T is compatible with Ross, Grass Valley, Sony and Mosart Production Automation.
TCR for Remote ‘Flypack’ Production
The combination of an SSL System T Tempest Control Rack (TCR) and Tempest Engine creates a broadcast audio production system with all of the features and power of a traditional broadcast console in just 7RU. The System T ‘Flypack’ is an ideal solution to the challenges of remote broadcast audio production for sports and large scale events.
Production Automation
Integration with Production/Newscast Automation systems
System T can be integrated with Grass Valley Ignite, Ross Overdrive, Sony ELC and Viz Mosart systems. The SSL Broadcast Automation interface provides the Production Automation system with a remote controlled mixer. This mixer follows commands issued from the Automation System (or the vision mixer/switcher) and thus controls the audio mix of the production. The Automation System works in parallel with the console’s physical controls, so if the audio operator adjusts the level of a channel under automation control, the audio will change level. The fact that the level has changed will also be flagged to the automation system. The limited abilities of the Automation System (fader level, on/off etc.) mean that the console is likely to be pre-configured for a specific show, to set mic gains, EQ’s, master bus settings etc.
This can all be simplified by the creation of projects to work with specific automated productions. Automation can be applied to anything from a single channel up to as many audio channels as the specific production automation system supports, but typically a small number of channels are controlled. The Channel faders under control can be hidden from the operator’s view of the surface, so that the console can be used simultaneously by an operator and the automation system without distraction. Automation can globally be switched on/off.
Key Features
- Support for Grass Valley Ignite, Ross Overdrive, Sony ELC and Mosart Medialab
- Automation can be applied to a flexible number of console paths, including channels, stems, masters and auxes
- Channel faders under control can be hidden from the operator’s view
- Automation can globally be switched on/off from the console surface
Immersive Audio
Leading the way with Immersive Audio for broadcast at the heart of the console.
SSL’s immersive audio implementation for System T places support of immersive audio for ATSC 3.0, Dolby Atmos, and MPEG-H at the heart of the console architecture.
With the emergence of 3D Immersive Audio, in broadcast as well as in film, SSL’s new 3-axis co-ordinate panning for System T incorporates 2 or 4 channel overhead speakers into the available channel and bus formats. As well as positioning mono and stereo sources in a 3D sound field, System T can accept multichannel 3D sources and fine tune their spatial components as they are added to the final production mix. This is essential in multilingual sports productions where effects and ambience multichannel 3D ‘beds’ will be used extensively as the basis of the individual program mixes.
Supported formats include 5.1.2 and 5.1.4, 7.1.2 and 7.1.4 (with side channels as well as rear channels). A novel 4.0.4 format designed primarily for beds and stems ensures that the centre channel remains exclusively available for dialogue and commentary. The 4.0.4 format is also ideal for the output of the new generation of VR mics that capture a 4 channel ambisonics scene representation. This can then be rendered in a multichannel format for incorporation into an ‘object/bed’ based immersive mix.
Intelligent downmixing means that conventional 5.1, stereo and mono mixes can be created simply by routing a 3D channel or stem to a suitably formatted master bus. Downmix coefficient control of the overhead (top) to floor (bottom) mix and the side channels to front and rear, permits user adjustment of the system derived defaults. An elegant unified approach to divergence processing eliminates the complexity often found in the panning solutions offered on workstations and other digital consoles, which require multiple parameters to determine the balance between the discrete and phantom components of the center and side channel signals.
Partnering the new 3D channel and bus formats is a 12-channel monitoring section. This includes 49 12-channel monitor inputs, configured as a primary monitor input and two 24-channel preselectors, together with a 12-channel AFL monitor bus, and a pair of 12-channel insert points for external processing and rendering engine returns, offering all the monitoring tools required in a 3D production environment. An additional secondary main monitor output allows use of both conventional monitor speakers as well as a secondary sound bar or other domestic style monitor setup for real world quality checking. A further two stereo Alt outputs can be used for nearfield monitors or for simultaneous secondary program monitoring in multi-language productions. Independent channel level and delay adjustment is available for both main monitor outputs.
Completing the Immersive feature set in System T is an extensive collection of processing tools. In addition to all the standard path processing (EQ, Filters, Dynamics 1, Dynamics 2, Delay) including up to 7.1.4 capability, the System T FX rack includes immersive format versions of the Bus Compressor, Multiband Compressor, Enhancer, Dynamic EQ, G flex EQ, All Pass Filter, De-Noiser and Summing Module.
DAW Control
The most advanced DAW Control system available on a broadcast console.
SSL is at the forefront of hybrid production technology that combines DAW control with console functionality for the recording industry. Our expertise in this area brings the most comprehensive and streamlined DAW control system ever seen on a broadcast console to System T.
System T DAW Control makes best ergonomic use of the hardware controls within the Fader & Master Tiles and System T’s superior multi-gesture touch screens. The DAW Control system uses a HUI implementation, so is designed primarily for use with Pro ToolsTM and is compatible with ReaperTM, LogicTM and other HUI compatible DAW’s.
DAW control can be configured in banks of 8 consecutive channels with a maximum of four banks providing 32 physical console faders for DAW Control. The system can be used to control up to four separate DAW’s. There is no limit to the number of tracks in a Pro Tools session that can be accessed as tracks can be scrolled or banked on to the console faders as required using the scroll and bank keys in the Fader Tile. Pro Tools Memory Locations can also be used to recall specific track layouts. When using System T as the primary control surface for a Pro Tools mix session, configuring two bays as a 32-fader surface and banking in 32 track increments is probably the optimal solution. When Pro Tools is being used as playback source together with other live console inputs the optimal solution is probably configuring a dedicated 16 Fader DAW control bay with the other console bays available to handle standard input and output channel paths.
Hardware control is primarily via the System T Fader Tiles with the faders, switches and encoders mapped to DAW mixer functions instead of System T processing. The faders control DAW Track Level and the encoders Track Panning and Send levels. A Flip function allows the faders to set Send levels. Track Arming and Automation modes can be set via the Q switch. A DAW Popout software interface available in the Channel View on the touch screen contains buttons to assign the encoder function, setup track automation modes, offers basic transport control, plus channel scrolling and banking buttons and other useful master functions. All these functions together with additional commands available in the HUI protocol can be mapped to User Keys in the Master Tile as well as incorporated into Event Manager scripts.
A DAW Channel View interface can be called to the screen from the main System T Channel View interface or when a DAW Channel is selected in a Fader Tile. This DAW Channel interface shows additional information and provides touch screen control for an extensive collection DAW track parameters.
DAW control is available with T-Solsa software and will use the port selected in the Setup Options Network page to communicate with a Pro Tools system on another PC or MAC. A System-T fader tile may be connected via USB enabling the T-Solsa PC to function as a remote 16 Fader DAW controller.

Orders generally leave at 2:00pm daily so if you need an item ASAP, make sure it is ordered by 1pm (please call 1300 687 672) to ensure there is stock of the item and to get an estimated time of arrival. Express post is to capital / major cities only (for next day service). This service is for small items under 3KG only!
How can I track my order?
Check your email and you will have been sent a tracking number, input the number into either Fastway Couriers, Startrack or Australia Post's Track & Trace engine. If you have any problems, please call us and we will call the couriers on your behalf.
Do you take international orders?
Sorry, we do not take international orders, we only sell and ship around Mainland Australia & Tasmania. For remote & Island locations please contact us.
How much is shipping?
To work out a shipping cost, please go through the cart and our system will work out a freight price to your area.
If you think there may be an error, or want to clarify the price, you are welcome to contact us and we will work out the best shipping price for you.
There may be some exceptions for heavy or large items (over 25kg), remote locations or some regional areas. We will contact you if this problem arises prior to shipping the goods.
Do you offer freight insurance?
We certainly do, and highly recommend it as Australia is a big country. Insurance / Shipping protection is available and is only 1.5% of the value of the goods.
Can I pick my goods up in store?
Of course! Unlike some stores, we do not charge for you to pick up in store. We are open 7 days for your convenience, but please give us a date and time of pick up so we can make sure your goods are ready. Orders that are left for over 1 week and not picked up will be returned to stock, unless other arrangements have been made. Valid ID will be required for picking up goods that have been paid for online or over the phone.
What if I am not home for the delivery?
IF you are not home, the driver will leave a card in your mail box so you can pick-up from the local depot/post office or arrange a re-delivery.
We have found it to be much quicker & easier to have all items sent to a business address where someone will be present.
Can I ask for the courier to leave the goods at my door?
Whilst it Is possible, we highly recommend that you do not do it. All freight warranty & insurance will be void. Only do so at your own risk, if someone steals it, Musos Corner & The freight company will not be held accountable.
If you will not be able to take the delivery, it might be worth asking a friend or neighbour to take delivery of it for you.
What if it appears my goods have been freight damaged?
Please check all items before signing for them! This is very important. Do not sign for an item that appears damaged, to sign for them means "Signed for in good working order" and subsequently is out of the couriers hands, and voids insurance. If this was not possible, there can be a 24 Hour window to try and claim insurance, please contact us & the courier immediately. This only applies to orders that have paid for Insurance & are sent via courier.
Can the courier or delivery person call me prior to delivery?
Unfortunately as often as we request this, we get denied as many times. No courier or Australia post worker will call you prior to delivery despite any bribes we may try and offer.
If you select courier we will send you a tracking number which you can use to find out an estimated time of arrival for your goods, or alternatively have it sent to a business address.
Can I have my goods delivered on the weekend or after hours?
Unfortunately this is not possible at the current point in time, however you are welcome to pickup in store late night Thursday or on weekends from our Newcastle store. Please contact us to set a pickup time.
Send to a PO BOX?
We cannot ship guitars to a PO BOX under any circumstances. Australia Post will not accept deliveries over 105cm LCM, we cannot change their policy.
Products
Do i need to set up my product?
All guitars come fully set up ready to play (after a quick tuning). Banjos will need to be set up after delivery as they cannot be shipped set up unless they are bought with a case. Some products like piano stands require some basic assembly as they are flat packed for shipping. Digitial pianos and clavinovas may require some simple assembly.
Are all products brand new?
Yes! Everything we sell, unless clearly specified, is considered brand new with full warranty. Some items, especially guitars will have been taken out of their boxes for inspection, demonstration or quality assurance. This in no way effects your warranty supplied to you by Musos Corner or Australian consumer law.
Are the items individually photographed?
All images are for illustration purposes unless otherwise specified. While we wish we could take photos of every exact item, this is not always possible and we use the pictures supplied by either the a) Australian Supplier or b) Manufacturer.
If you require a specialty photo of your instrument prior to purchase, just contact us to see if this is available.
Does my item come with Australian warranty
All items we sell come with Australian Warranty, please read our returns policy fo rmore information. Some manufactuers provide aditional warranty over the 12 months once registering the product with them. This warranty is between you and the manufactuer, but we will be happy to help should any is needed.
