First SSL Sigma for Romesh Dodangoda


By Mark Haldon


ROMESH DODANGODA has become the first UK producer to install the new SSL Sigma in his Long Wave Studio. Romesh has worked with bands such as Funeral for a Friend, Motörhead, Kids in Glass Houses and Bullet for my Valentine using SSL equipment and recently took delivery of an SSL Sigma remote-controlled analogue summing unit. Dodangoda says, “The first time I plugged it in, I noticed straight away the depth it added to the mix. I could hear a much deeper sound, especially in the low end. We’ve just finished an album and using Sigma definitely made a positive difference to how it’s turned out.”

SSL reports that Romesh also has SSL Alpha Link converters as his DAW I/O. The producer explains how he is integrating Sigma into his mixing workflow, saying, “I am using it pretty much as a straight summing unit. I generally submix down to 12 stereo groups and then put these through Sigma.” www.romeshdodangoda.com www.solidstatelogic.com


TO MARK its success at the 2013 Technical Grammys, Royer Labs has created a limited edition version of its award-winning R-121 ribbon microphone. Each microphone is plated in pure platinum and comes with a certificate of authenticity, personally signed by David Royer, as well as a pair of white cotton handling gloves. Royer Lab’s UK


distributor Funky Junk anticipates plenty of interest in the limited edition models. “With only 200 available worldwide, these microphones are destined to become a collector’s item,” says Mark Thompson, managing director of Funky Junk.  www.proaudioeurope.com www.royerlabs.com
