SSL

Playing Clearmountain’s Bösendorfer grand piano through his SSL mixing console connected an artist to music history — David Bowie, Roxy Music and Nile Rodgers sought out his mastery and his gear.

Much of the gear in the studio he’d custom-built over decades was immobile — the Bösendorfer grand piano or the SSL recording console couldn’t get out on short notice.

Currently, white LEDs used in SSL generate seven times more heat than light output.

This presents a fundamental challenge for the widespread adoption of SSL.

Bayram says that the green gap can be closed by using cubic III-nitride, as the advantages of these materials for SSL are well documented both theoretically and experimentally.
