Solid State Logic Captures TEC Awards, and is Recognized with TECnology Hall of Fame Award During 2025 NAMM Show

Rick Naqvi, North American Senior Vice President of SSL, commented: “We are proud to have been recognized once again by NAMM with Outstanding Technical Achievement awards, and the TECnology Hall of Fame. These awards reflect SSL's standard of excellence among the entire organization, and the innovative applications of our customer base around the world."

The SL9000J console, launched in 1995, introduced the company's pioneering "SuperAnalogue™" technology. This innovation resulted in an incredibly extended frequency response, impeccably low phase shift and ultra-low noise performance never seen before on a large-format analogue console. The 9000 series consoles subsequently became legendary, shaping the sound of numerous major pop, hip-hop, and R&B hits in the late 90s and early 2000s. Previous honourees for the company include 1977’s SSL 4000 and 2004’s AWS 900 consoles.

Founded 21 years ago by noted audio/music journalist George Petersen as the historic offshoot of the TEC Awards, the NAMM TEC Awards TECnology Hall of Fame (presented since 2015 by the NAMM Museum of Making Music), honors products and innovations that over the years have made significant contributions to the advancement of audio and music technology.

“Each of these innovations made a major contribution to how sound is created and reproduced – even years after their debut, and decades later, each of these still remain in use.” says TECnology Hall of Fame Director George Petersen.
