History & design
Announced on 2 November 2021 alongside the L450 and Live V5.0 software, the L650 is billed by Solid State Logic as the most powerful SSL Live console. It targets large-scale touring, houses of worship and corporate venues where several live, broadcast and streaming mixes run at once.
Its Optimal Core Processing delivers 312 paths at 96 kHz, freely assigned as channels, stem groups, auxes and masters, from mono to 5.1. SSL quotes up to 96 stem groups, 210 auxes, 32 masters, a 32 × 36 matrix, 48 VCAs and 96 effects slots, with 856 inputs and 856 outputs. The surface follows the L200 triple-wide layout: 36 motorised 100 mm faders over three tiles, the L550 Plus Channel Control tile and a 19-inch 1,500-nit touchscreen.
Local I/O: 16 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs, 2 headphone outputs, 4 AES/EBU pairs with sample-rate conversion, 6 redundant coaxial MADI pairs, 2 optical MADI ports, a MADI FX loop, Blacklight II and a redundant 32 × 32 Dante card. MIDI, LTC, word clock, GPIO and dual power supplies round off the rear panel.
