===Outboard processors and consoles with DAW control=== In 2003, SSL introduced outboard signal processors that offered processing previously only available in SSL's large-format mixing consoles. The XLogic family of products included the Logic Channel, the company's first standalone [[channel strip]]. 2005 saw the release of additional processors, including the E Series channel strip and G Series Compressor, which utilized SSL's classic G Series center compressor design elements within a SuperAnalogue design topology. The X-Rack offered a modular solution for outboard signal processing. In late 2004, SSL launched AWS 900, an integrated analogue console and [[digital audio workstation|DAW]] controller,<ref>{{cite web|last=Robjohns|first=Hugh|title=SSL AWS900 Mixer & Control Surface|url=http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov05/articles/sslaws900.htm|website=soundonsound.com|publisher=SOS Publications Group|date=November 2005|access-date=28 July 2022}}</ref> and introduced its successor, the AWS 900+, two years later. SSL eventually listed over 300 studios using the AWS900. SSL later introduced the AWS 916, 924, and 948 with support for SSL's delta control plug-in. <div style="clear:right;">{{multiple image |direction=horizontal |align=center |image1=SSL XLogic X-Rack, Alpha-Link - IBC 2009.jpg|caption1=SSL XLogic X-Rack and Alpha-Link |thumb |image2=SSL AWS 900+ at Performance Studio.jpg|caption2=SSL AWS 900+ at Performance Studio}} </div> In late 2006, SSL launched Duality, a large-format console that combined mixing console functionality of the XL 9000K with the control surface features of the AWS 900. Duality featured updated signal routing controls, accessible from the console's center section rather than on each channel. The console's channel strips include both E Series & G Series equalization, which is selected via a single button per channel. The console also features 'Variable Harmonic Drive', or VHD microphone/line preamplifiers, which can either be utilised as standard low-distortion preamps, or in a mode which introduces 2nd (even) & 3rd (odd) order harmonic distortion. Also in 2006 SSL introduced the Duende [[digital signal processing|DSP]] platform designed to emulate SSL channel strip features for home recording enthusiasts, including filters, SSL E and G Series EQ and dynamics processing. Additionally, the system offers the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor. Based on the digital technology behind SSL's C-Series consoles, Duende was designed to integrate into [[Digital audio workstation|DAW]] environments using either a [[FireWire]] cable connection or [[PCI Express|PCI-e]] card, with the digital processing channels appearing as [[Virtual Studio Technology|VST]] or [[Audio Units]] [[Audio plug-in|plug-ins]]. On 25 April 2007, SSL announced the release of another plug-in for the Duende, called Drumstrip, which contained a [[noise gate]], a transient shaper, high frequency and low frequency [[exciter (effect)|enhancers]], and the Listening Mic Compressor. The same year, the company announced its expansion into broadcast video content management and delivery with their MediaWAN system.
