    Music, Home, Work - CONNEX your world




    Music Mode

    Designed for a group of musicians, Music mode allows creativity as a group be captured. SSL CONNEX intelligently alters the sensitivity of the microphone array to reduce the noise floor and unwanted background noise. Blue: Music mode accepts louder signals commonly found on acoustic instruments. Combine this with CONNEX’ sophisticated studio quality processing and you’re on the way to a great sounding track.




    Vocal Mode

    Vocal mode is for when inspiration hits and you just have to record that performance. Utilising legendary SSL EQ and dynamics processing algorithms to enhance your recording or live stream, Vocal mode will reject sound from the sides and rear of SSL CONNEX making your performance absolutely sing.



    Solo Mode

    Optimised for a single 'spoken' sound source, e.g. conference / Working from home calls or live streaming with a single presenter. CONNEX is optimized for speech coming from the front while reducing unwanted sound from back and side faces. Struggling to make clear calls in a busy office, café or airport lounge, ‘White: Solo mode’ is the answer.





    Group Mode

    Designed for multiple 'spoken' sound sources e.g. round table conference call or live streaming with multiple presenters, SSL CONNEX’s quad microphone array and optimised mixer setting means all presenters are clearly heard and unwanted background noise isn’t.





    Immersive mode

    All four of SSL CONNEX’ User Modes feature an advanced immersive setting, letting you access all four of microphone signals independently for the purpose of immersive recordings or broadcasts. Want cutting-edge content or to explore spatial mixing? Switch SSL CONNEX into Immersive mode.
