    In the event of a fault during the warranty period the unit must be returned to your local distributor who will arrange for it to be shipped to Solid State Logic for repair. All units should be shipped to Solid State Logic in their original packaging.

  • Page 8: Safety Considerations

    Safety Earth Connection Any mains powered item of Solid State Logic equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety earth and grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.

  • Page 9: Graphical Symbols

    Mains Supply and Phases Solid State Logic equipment is designed for connection to a single phase supply with the Neutral conductor at earth potential – category TN – and is fitted with a protective fuse in the Live conductor only. It is not designed for use with Phase (Live) and Neutral connections reversed or where the Neutral conductor is not at earth potential (TT or IT supplies).

  • Page 10: Installation

    XLogic E Signature™ Channel Owner’s Manual 3.0 Installation Voltage Selection Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the voltage range selector next to the IEC socket on the rear of the unit is correctly set. The input setting must be confirmed before applying power. The input module can be configured to be one of 4 voltage settings (one of which is invalid and should not be used –...

  • Page 11: Mounting

    Mounting This unit is designed to be rack-mounted. It is 1 RU (44.5mm/1.75 inch) high, its depth is: 325 mm/12.8 inches not including heatsink. 365 mm/14.3 inches including heatsink 400 mm/15.75 inches including connectors The XLogic E Signature Channel units incorporate reinforcement brackets into the chassis and so are suitable for direct rack-mounting.

  • Page 13: Operation

    4.0 Operation The XLogic E Signature Channel unit is a 1U rack mounting unit containing a complete set of signal processing based upon the SL 4000 E Series channel strip – Input, Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, Hi and Lo pass Filters and Equaliser. The signal processing order can be changed and the EQ and Filter sections used in the Dynamics side chain.

  • Page 14: Dynamics Section

    XLogic E Signature™ Channel Owner’s Manual Dynamics Section The Dynamics section of the XLogic E Signature Channel unit comprises a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate, both of which use the same gain change element. The design returns faithfully to the circuit and key components which defined the sound of the original E Series channel strip. A true RMS converter is used in the side chain whilst the gain element is an all discrete design identical to the Class A VCA chip used in the original unit.

  • Page 15: Expander/Gate

    Expander/Gate The Expander/Gate section can ∞ act either as a :1 Gate or, when the EXP switch is pressed, as a 2:1 Expander. RANGE – Determines the depth of gating or expansion. When turned fully anti-clockwise, the Expander/Gate section will be inactive.

  • Page 16: Equaliser Section

    XLogic E Signature™ Channel Owner’s Manual Equaliser Section The XLogic E Signature Channel unit equaliser section defaults to the original ‘Brown Knob’ circuit that was standard on all early production E Series consoles. The two parametric mid-band sections feature SSL’s classic logarithmically symmetric design that ensures that the ±3dB up/down points retain the same musical interval from the centre frequency regardless of frequency and amplitude settings.

  • Page 17: Signal Routing

    5.0 Signal Routing Channel Processing Order There are two switches that control the order of the signal processing elements. These are Filters to INPUT and Dynamics PRE EQ. The table below shows the effect of these: Filters Side Chain Processing Order The EQ and Filter sections can be assigned to the dynamics side chain using the DYN S/CH switches in the respective sections.

  • Page 25: Appendix D - Calibration Information

    Appendix D - Calibration Information The XLogic E Signature Channel unit is factory calibrated and should only need calibration if a potentiometer or other component has been replaced or if it is suspected that there is a problem with calibration. In all of the following instructions it is assumed that the lid has been removed and that power has been applied.
