The Must-Have Mixer of SUPERBOOTH25
Berlin, Germany, May 29, 2025 — The recently concluded SUPERBOOTH25, held from May 8 to May 10, saw the Solid State Logic (SSL) BiG SiX and SiX mixers steal the spotlight. Renowned synthesizer manufacturers like AJH Synth, Erica Synths, SOMA Laboratory, Moog Music, and UDO Audio showcased their cutting-edge products, all while integrating SSL’s top-tier mixers into their setups.
Lisa Bella Donna's Dazzling Performance
On May 10, celebrated modular synthesist Lisa Bella Donna took the stage at SUPERBOOTH’s Seebühne, delivering an utterly improvised set. Using a variety of Moog synths mixed through her SSL BiG SiX, Bella Donna showcased the mixer's powerful capabilities, sending her sounds directly to Front of House (FOH) while capturing her performance live via its USB audio interface. Moog Music also joined the action, featuring the BiG SiX in their live sets with the new Moog Messenger.
The Mixer That Does It All
"The BiG SiX has been my constant companion for the past three years," shared Bella Donna. "It's the ultimate desktop mixer suitable for both live gigs and studio work. Its superior sound quality and flexibility stand out, thanks to the four SuperAnalogue™ preamps and classic SSL EQ. The G-Series bus compressor allows for outstanding focus in performance, ensuring a polished mix every time."
New Music Unveiled
Kicking off SUPERBOOTH25, Bella Donna released her latest album, "Counterpoints," showcasing her versatility with the Moog Messenger and other instruments—all mixed on the BiG SiX. This album promises to be a game-changer!
Innovations from AJH Synth, UDO Audio, and SOMA Laboratory
At Bungalowdorf, AJH Synth proudly launched its Matrix VCF Eurorack module, boosted by the power of the BiG SiX. This module, inspired by the coveted Oberheim Matrix 12 synthesizer's filter, packs 32 high-quality resonant filters into a compact 14 HP unit.
Wayne Taylor from AJH Synth lauded the BiG SiX's versatility, stating, "Instead of picking between a mixer and an audio interface, the BiG SiX combines both seamlessly, allowing for live performances while simultaneously recording. It checks all my boxes through one USB-C connection, and with exceptional onboard EQ and compressors, it truly raises the bar."
UDO Audio, also at Bungalowdorf, showcased its dynamic Ribbon Controller and the impressive Super 8 Plus synthesizer, powered by the compact SSL SiX. This mixer delivered unmatched detail and nuance from their innovative instruments.
SOMA Laboratory featured its highly-acclaimed Pulsar 23 alongside other groundbreaking devices like The Pipe and Terra—each running through the SSL BiG SiX. They even hosted workshops where attendees could interact with their cutting-edge instruments.
Conclusion: A New Era for Mixers?
The SSL BiG SiX and SiX are more than just mixers; they are integral tools that push the boundaries of performance and production. With artists and companies embracing these mixers at events like SUPERBOOTH25, it’s clear that they are paving the way for a new era of creativity in music.
