The unique sound of Solid State Logic’s 4000 Series analogue mixing consoles is sought after

It differs from the e-series in that its Q is variable depending on the level of gain or attenuation. Again, it can handle intense application and offers the ability to reconfigure sound both tonally and frequency wise.
