Odyssey is the culmination of everything SSL has learned about analogue control, workflow, and sound, distilled into a single, uncompromising vision. Powered by SSL’s ActiveAnalogue™ technology, it takes the revolutionary philosophy of Instant Recall, first realised with Oracle, and expands it into a no-limits modular console where creativity moves at the speed of thought.

For decades, the power of a traditional in-line analogue console has been limited by a fundamental constraint: complex sessions take time to reset, revisit, compare, and revise. Odyssey removes that barrier. Complete analogue console states can be restored, compared, revised, and switched in an instant, making full mix A/Bs, alternate balances, artist-led changes, and revisions feel immediate rather than disruptive.

Available from mid-size 24+8 channel configurations to colossal 96+8 channel systems, with straight, curved ProStation, and fully custom frame options, Odyssey takes the Future Analogue experience beyond the event horizon — opening a new creative space where tracking, mixing, and revision-led production will never feel the same again. Entirely analogue in sound and feel, it allows engineers to move at the pace of the music, the artist, and the moment, without sacrificing the scale, depth, or authority of SSL.

Every channel features a complete suite of fully analogue, recallable tools — PureDrive™ mic pres, dynamics, switchable E/G Series EQ, and assignable Filters — placing SSL tone-shaping power directly under the engineer’s hands. A true in-line architecture with motorised Large and Small Faders provides immediate control of multiple signal paths, supporting fast, fluid movement throughout the production process.

Powered by SSL’s ultra-high-performance ActiveAnalogue™ circuitry, housed in dedicated processing racks, Odyssey delivers the sonic quality expected from a flagship analogue SSL console. From pristine, reference-grade accuracy to warm, driven tones, Odyssey gives engineers a wide analogue palette, capable of precise, transparent production as well as colour and character when the music demands it.

Odyssey’s centre section is the command hub for the entire production environment, bringing mix control, Stereo Groups, VCAs, bus processing, monitoring, foldback, communications, and DAW transport into one powerful workspace. From managing multiple Main Mix Buses and stereo group paths to shaping the final mix, building artist feeds, checking sources, controlling talkback, and switching monitor systems, it keeps the critical decisions of a session directly under hand. Flexible monitoring supports multiple speaker sets, external sources, foldback feeds, solo/listen workflows, and third-party immersive systems such as a Dolby Atmos renderer, allowing stereo and spatial productions to be controlled from the main listening position.

The O-Control Application Suite provides online and offline tools for Odyssey (and Oracle) configuration, session preparation, and project management on Windows and macOS. Projects, Presets, Snapshots, processing sections, metering, fader positions, and cut/solo status can be prepared, inspected, and managed from software, helping complex sessions start faster and stay organised.

With advanced DAW control assignable ‘per-bay’ and O-Motion automation, Odyssey connects analogue console operation to familiar DAW workflows, allowing console moves to be recorded, edited, and replayed with the precision modern production demands.
