SSL is proud of its longstanding relationship with Peter Gabriel — a collaboration that has played a significant role in shaping the sound of modern popular music. From recording his iconic 1980 album "Melt" on an SL 4000 B at London’s Townhouse Studios (creating that distinctive drum sound), to creating his multi-platinum 1986 album "So" on his first SL 4000 E Series console, and continuing to craft groundbreaking music on the iconic wrap-around G and K Series consoles at Real World Studios.
In this video, Gabriel shares his thoughts on how the revolutionary Oracle console and new ActiveAnalogue™ technology continue to transform the recording and mixing process — removing creative barriers while preserving the analogue sound and workflow we all desire.

The 4KE Plug-in lives up to the legend of the 4000E and imparts all the vibe and rich non-linear analogue character of the original console. 4K E Plug-in is a precise emulation, with modelling down to a component level, including the revered E Series EQ in all its flavours (Black, Brown, Orange), and hyper-realistic emulation of the Jensen T-115K-E transformer found on early 4000E mic pres. The dbx 202 Gold Can fader VCA is also painstakingly modelled, offering multiple layers of harmonic saturation found throughout the circuit design.
