#DEVASTATING STEREO MASTER MIX MANUAL#

I don't know what that would do to the sound quality.

What would happen if you took one Six and ran it's stereo master output into another SiX? You could put all of the drums on one SiX, and then send its master output into a stereo input channel on the other SiX. The SSL SiX has become interesting to a lot of people for its affordability, features, and sound quality. SiX has fully balanced, line level inputs and outputs with a lot of headroom (>+26dBu) there probably wouldn't be any noticable quality loss doing this. You lose one of the External Inputs of the second SiX, but this looks like the straightest/cleanest signal path into the Main Mix bus. You could just switch the Bus Comp off in the first SiX and make sure the Main Fader on the first SiX is at 0dB, or you could use the Main Bus Insert Send output on the first SiX as the feed to the external input on the second SiX, this send output is before the Bus Comp and Main Fader.

The only 'perfectionist' issue with this is that the Bus Comp and Main Fader of the first SiX are now in line with the feed to the second SiX. Then press EXT 2 above the Main Fader to add the first SiX to the second Six's Main Mix.

I think a Neve BCM10 sidecar is used like that.You probably have the answer to this by now, but looking at the block diagram in the manual I think the simple answer is Main Out of first SiX into say External Input 2 of second SiX (Could be Ext 1).

Still wondering if it would substantially reduce signal quality by patching the output of one SiX into another.
