1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Solid State Logic X-Rack unit has been developed from the successful range of XLogic outboard
equipment and provides a flexible solution to those engineers requiring a larger number of processing
units in a compact package.
The additional space provided by the X-Rack allows the processing modules to be vertically orientated,
providing a more familiar interface to users of Solid State Logic’s renowned range of mixing consoles, and
makes it possible to include Solid State Logic’s Total Recall system – the first time this has been available
on an analogue outboard unit.

The object of this manual is to provide purchasers of the X-Rack unit with information in the following

This manual is applicable to X-Rack units from serial number XRK110 onwards and assumes that the X-Rack
