The Matrix2 from Solid State Logic is combination console/controller designed for use in a hybrid production studio and is an effective solution for those who wish to incorporate the sonic advantages of SSL summing and a collection of boutique analog microphone preamps and processors into a DAW-centric studio. The console/controller is fully capable of integrating monitors, workstations, and outboard gear for a smooth workflow.
The analog side of the unit combines a forty-input SuperAnalogue summing mixer with fully featured monitor-switching and talkback and a built-in Insert Router, which allows for single or chained analog outboard processors to be inserted quickly and easily. With a single button push, the 16 + 1 fader hardware control surface switches from controlling the analog signal path to functioning as a comprehensive multilayer DAW control surface.
