History & design
The Axiom-MT is an all-digital recording and mixing console developed by Solid State Logic. It carries the audio engine of the A-Series family, which appeared in the early 1990s at the heart of the Scenaria (1992) and OmniMix (1993) post-production systems, onto an in-line control surface in the ergonomic tradition of SSL's analogue consoles.
The 48-fader frame handles 96 channels of analogue and digital I/O. Each channel offers a 4-band parametric EQ with splittable high- and low-pass filters, a full dynamics processor and 48-bus assignment, plus 12 auxiliary sends. The 24 mic preamps are SuperAnalogue types, remote-controlled from the surface.
The motorised faders use new linear motors with virtual detents and LED displays; their modules are hot-swappable, allowing servicing during a session. An integrated hard-disk recording option, MixTrack, provides multitrack capture (up to 96 tracks) directly within the console.
Built in small numbers, the Axiom-MT remains a sought-after piece that illustrates SSL's move to fully digital designs, ahead of the large broadcast and post consoles of the 2000s.
