technology schools and colleges , as well as producer rooms or smaller record / mix facilities , the Origin 16 brings the SSL studio closer to a broader range of users .
A modular centre section allows the Origin 16 to adapt to different applications , such as a tracking console with additional boutique analog processing to its 19-in . rack centre section , or a more digital / analog hybrid approach with screens and trollers such as the SSL UF8 Advanced DAW Controller — all of which can be reached from the listening position .

Origin 16 ’ s low power consumption and power-saving features equal lower operational costs for smaller rooms and musician-based project studios .
