New Solid State Logic VHD Pre Module for the 500 Format Rack Platform

Solid State Logic announced the release of the VHD Pre Module for the popular 500 format modular rack platform. The release makes its patented Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD) and SSL SuperAnalog preamp technology from Duality, SSL’s large format studio console, available for studios of all sizes.

The elysia xfilter 500 is an active true stereo equalizer in a 500-series module format (VPR Alliance certified). Like the xpressor 500 and nvelope 500, it fills two slots on an API lunchbox or 500-series compatible rack. As of publication, the xfilter is also available as a stand-alone 19” rack unit with the same features and functions so this review is valid for both xfilter 500 versions.
