Bring Iconic Analog Vibe to Your DAW with SSL 4K B Channel Strip
Legendary Console Sound. Modern Plugin Power.
Step into the sound of a classic. The new SSL 4K B plug-in brings the rich, punchy tone of the legendary SL 4000 B-series console — famously used in London’s Townhouse Studios — straight into your DAW. From Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight to Video Killed the Radio Star, this desk shaped music history.
Meticulously modeled down to the component level, 4K B delivers authentic analog character, full of warmth, saturation, and musical mojo. It’s the perfect gritty counterpart to the pristine SSL 9K-style Channel Strip 2, and fits seamlessly into the SSL 360° ecosystem, with hands-on control via UC1 and UF8.
