Oxford, U.K., 1st September, 2026 — Designed for broadcast, touring and live production environments, the Solid State Logic (SSL) fly-away TCA Tour production system makes its IBC debut in Hall 8 (stand 8.B45). Built entirely from System T components, TCA Tour delivers the platform’s full feature set in an ultra-portable desktop format for rapid deployment on location or on the road.

Combining 16 full-size faders and fully integrated onboard I/O in a highly ruggedised frame, TCA Tour includes a custom adjustable mount for a touchscreen and a PC running SSL’s Tempest Control App. It is available with optional per fader OLED displays and individual fader metering and comes pre-wired with eight mic/line inputs, four line outputs, headphone monitoring and a built-in network switch. TCA Tour is compatible with all System T DSP engines, including the TE1, TE2 and the software-defined Virtual Tempest Engine (VTE), as well as SSL’s legacy T25 and T80 engines for integration in a range of existing ecosystems.

“TCA Tour delivers the full capability of System T in a portable, scalable package,” says Tom Knowles, Director of Product Management at Solid State Logic. “Designed for deployment across remote and distributed production ecosystems, it adapts to cloud, virtualised and other real-world workflows, and can also serve as a temporary second operator position or remote control of a main console.

“TCA Tour natively supports third party Dante, AES67, and ST 2110 devices, and provides direct AoIP routing, integrated FX processing, and SSL’s renowned sound quality to meet the demands of any modern production environment.”

Enhanced Capabilities with System T V4.3 Update

At IBC 2026, the console takes advantage of SSL’s new V4.3 update to its System T platform with Open Sound Control (OSC) integration. This provides the ability for external systems to control console parameters via the open OSC protocol and is paired with a new TCA Tour hardware mount designed to accommodate a range of OSC-compliant third-party hardware controllers.

“This enhancement makes TCA Tour even more versatile,” says Knowles. “TCA Tour already supports fader expansion through SSL’s range of System T desktop control tiles, including the Desktop Fader Tile (DFT), Desktop Fader Tile Plus (DFT+) and Desktop Master Tile Plus (DMT+) for dedicated monitor and main fader controls. With OSC integration, broadcasters can map System T's extensive feature set to any OSC-compliant device or controller, allowing even more flexible and immediate access to System T functionality.”

The v4.3 upgrade also incorporates Permanent Path Linking, enabling users to set up to 48 permanent “link groups” between paths in the same way as temporary Path Links, with independent filtering where required. Also new for IBC is SolidPitch, an onboard vocal tuning and creative processing suite that introduces native effects like a tuner, doubler, and harmoniser to the System T ecosystem.

Visitors to IBC can demo the TCA Tour connected to System T’s TE1 DSP engine and MPL 16-8 stagebox.
