PUREDRIVE
Solid State Logic is delighted to announce the launch of two new 2U rack-based studio tools: the PURE DRIVE QUAD and PURE DRIVE OCTO microphone preamplifiers. These preamplifiers are available in 4-channel (QUAD) or 8-channel (OCTO) configurations, and both incorporate SSL's SuperAnalogue PureDrive™ Technology, which was initially introduced by the company's acclaimed ORIGIN recording console.
Additionally, these units feature a newly introduced DRIVE mode, comprehensive analogue and digital connectivity options and an integrated USB-C soundcard. PURE DRIVE QUAD and OCTO represent some of the most feature-rich and flexible outboard microphone preamplifiers on the market, introducing a host of new sonic possibilities and workflows for the discerning producer and recording engineer.
Key Highlights
- 4x (QUAD) / 8x (OCTO) fully featured high-performance PureDrive™ preamps.
- Gain & Trim controls – enabling you to overdrive the preamps while controlling the output.
- 3x Drive Modes – Clean, Classic Drive & Asymmetric Drive.

- 4x selectable impedance options.
- Digital Connections - USB Soundcard Mode, ADAT I/O and AES/EBU.
SSL's contemporary-classic recording console, ORIGIN, introduced the PureDrive™ microphone preamplifier. This innovative preamp retains the clarity and punch of previous SSL designs while offering the added versatility of switching its character to a warm, harmonically rich, and driven tone that varies with gain. The PureDrive™ microphone preamp has become an essential tool in some of the most prestigious studios and recording facilities due to its flexibility and superb sonic signature. PURE DRIVE QUAD & OCTO continue the legacy into rack format, delivering four or eight microphone preamps with ORIGIN’s renowned PURE and DRIVE modes, but takes it further, adding a new ‘Asymmetric’ DRIVE.
