History & design
Announced on 2 November 2021 alongside the L650 and Live V5.0 software, the L450 sits between the L200 Plus and the L650 in the SSL Live range. It brings the L200 ergonomics, screen in the centre and faders in front of the operator, to the L650 triple-wide frame.
Optimal Core Processing delivers 240 paths at 96 kHz, freely assigned as channels, stem groups, auxes and masters. The 32 × 36 matrix splits into four, and the console handles up to 856 inputs and 856 outputs. The surface carries 36 motorised faders in three 12-fader tiles, a 19-inch touchscreen and a TaCo tablet bay in place of the L650 Channel Control tile.
The rear panel matches the L650: 16 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs, 2 headphone outputs, 4 AES/EBU pairs, 6 redundant coaxial MADI pairs and 2 optical MADI ports, a MADI FX loop and Blacklight II. Dante 32 × 32 at 96 kHz (64 × 64 at 48 kHz), redundant 256-channel X-Light, MIDI, LTC, word clock, GPIO and dual power supplies complete the set.
