Since the SL 4000 B was first manufactured in 1977, SSL mixing desks have been coveted and acclaimed by pop, rock, rap and country producers for their outstandingly punchy master buss compressors (notably those in the G-Series), their aggressive yet musical EQ sections (especially the beloved E-Series "Black Knob" EQ), and their artfully crafted blend of automation, routing options and ahead-of-their-time computer control. No wonder then that a 1996 Billboard Studio Action Chart reported that 83% of #1 hit singles that year had been produced using an SSL board. In fact, SSL claims that more platinum albums have been recorded on SSL equipment than on all other mixing consoles combined.(taken from Universal Audio article Enduring the legacy of SSL)
