This advanced unit introduces a new DRIVE mode, comprehensive connectivity, and state-of-the-art digital conversion, all within a compact 4-channel 2U rackmount format. The ORIGIN recording console, a contemporary-classic from SSL, first introduced the groundbreaking PureDrive microphone preamplifier. This innovative preamp maintains the clarity and punch of SSL's previous designs while also offering the flexibility to switch its character to a warm, harmonically rich, and driven tone that varies with gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eORIGIN, in combination with the PureDrive microphone preamp, has left an indelible mark on the world's top recording studios. Whether you're capturing the delicate nuances of a piano concerto in PURE mode or adding warmth to a drum recording in DRIVE mode, the PureDrive microphone preamp has become an indispensable tool in some of the industry's most prestigious studios and recording facilities due to its versatility and exceptional sonic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Obsession\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE DRIVE QUAD continues the legacy into rack format, delivering four microphone preamps with ORIGIN's renowned PURE and DRIVE modes, but takes it further, adding a new 'Asymmetric' DRIVE, advanced digital connectivity, and an onboard USB interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE DRIVE QUAD offers four mic preamp input impedance options, enabling engineers to explore various tonal possibilities or match the mic pre's impedance closely to the microphone. Additionally, each mic pre includes independent +48V phantom power, polarity inversion, and a sweepable High Pass Filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE DRIVE QUAD stands as one of the most capable and feature-rich outboard microphone preamplifiers available, introducing a host of new sonic possibilities and workflows for the discerning producer and recording engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Flavours, 1 Mic Pre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE DRIVE QUAD is a testament to SSL's commitment to progressive analogue circuit design. No electro-mechanical components (potentiometers, mechanical switches, relays etc) are used in the critical audio signal path of PURE DRIVE QUAD, increasing product longevity, and allowing impeccable 'matching' between all channels - not just a stereo pair. The use of digitally controlled analogue circuits, controlled by detented pots and electronic switches simplifies recall and precision of settings. Each of PURE DRIVE QUAD's mic pre's can be independently switched between three distinct DRIVE modes: Clean, Classic Drive, and Asymmetric Drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClean Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean mode (White) delivers the highly regarded, ultra-low noise floor, linear SSL preamp that is recognised for its ability to faithfully capture the sound of the source with exceptional clarity and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic Drive (Amber) is the symmetrical mode that generates predominantly odd harmonics; the same drive sound found on the ORIGIN console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsymmetric Drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsymmetric Drive (Green) offers up a new colouration option, specifically designed for the PURE DRIVE range, making the even harmonic content dominant and providing more pronounced thickness, colouration and softening of transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 channel high-performance PureDrive mic preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+48V phantom power, polarity invert and 3rd order hi-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStepped Gain control up to +65 dB Gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31-step Trim control, with precise 1 dB increments - overdrive the signal with the Gain control and then reduce to a suitable level using Trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 modes for each preamp - Clean, Classic Drive and Asymmetric Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic\/Line Input Switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic via XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine via choice of TRS Jack or dedicated D-Sub connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x front panel Hi-Z\/DI Instrument unbalanced inputs with automatic input detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 mic preamp input impedance options - explore new tonal possibilities from your dynamic and ribbon microphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced analogue outputs\/insert sends for external processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+24 dBu professional line level insert returns\/ADC inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue to digital connectivity via ADAT, AES and USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to switch ADAT and AES connections to source audio from DAW outputs (USB) instead of the A\/D converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB soundcard mode : QUAD - 12 in \/ 12 out (@44.1\/48 kHz) ; 4 x analogue + 8 x ADAT in (via Link in) \/ 4 AES + 8 ADAT outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStepped pots and digitally controlled analogue electronics for precision, stereo matching and ease of recall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 192 kHz and 32-bit conversion, professional I\/O levels (+24 dBu = 0 dBFS).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable Auto-Sleep mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto-ranging Wordclock In and Out \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Solid State Logic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44439498391730,"sku":"SSL PUREDRIVEQUAD","price":2424.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/8122\/2322\/files\/1698320718_1792808.jpg?v=1718310925","url":"https:\/\/www.performanceaudio.com\/en-ca\/products\/solid-state-logic-pure-drive-quad-4-channel-preamplifier","provider":"Performance Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
