Solid State Logic CONNEX User Manual

Using Your SSL Connex
Controls
The top of SSL Connex features touch-sensitive buttons to control the mic mute state and headphone level.
Mic Mute
• T
ap the Solid State Logic (SSL) logo to toggle the mic mute state.
• The SSL logo will turn red when the mic is muted.
• When not muted, the SSL logo colour indicates the audio processing mode currently selected (see the Audio
Processing Modes section below for further details):
– White: Solo mode
– Green: Group mode
– Magenta: Vocal mode
– Blue: Music mode
Push To Talk feature
‘Push To Talk’ (PTT) is a feature found on many professional communications headsets, such as those used in
film studios to enable the crew to communicate. The headset mic is only active while the PTT button is pressed
and held down, preventing the transmission of lots of background noise into the comms system. The same
principle is available in SSL Connex when only occasional input to a video call is required, allowing the mic to
remain muted most of the time and only unmuted when required. While the mic is muted, tap and hold down the
SSL logo to temporarily unmute the mic. Release to re-mute the mic.
Cough Switch feature
Professional broadcast studios often feature a ‘cough switch’ that can be used to temporarily mute a radio
presenter’s microphone while they clear their throat, without broadcasting it to the world! The same feature
can be found on SSL Connex for use on video calls, allowing the mic to remain unmuted most of the time for
free conversation and only muted when required. While the mic is unmuted, tap and hold down the SSL logo to
temporarily mute the mic. Release to unmute the mic again.
Headphone Level
• Tap the + or - buttons to increase or decrease the level of the headphone output of the unit. The headphone
symbol will flash to indicate a button has been pressed.
• The headphone symbol will light red when the headphone level reaches 0 %.
• The volume slider in your operating system can also be used to adjust the headphone level of your SSL
Connex in finer detail.
