UF1 is powered by SSL 360° software where you can configure keyboard shortcuts and custom macros for total session control via 46 assignable, backlit user keys.
When purchasing from an authorised dealer, each UF1 includes a perpetual license for the SSL Meter plug-in (worth $99.99), which is visualised on the large 4.3” IPS display and can be controlled directly from the UF1 surface and the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer. The SSL Meter Plug-in offers essential metering tools including Peak & RMS levels, K-System, stereo balance, phase corelation bar, Lissajous phase scope, 31-band RTA, VU and PPM metering.
For those looking for comprehensive Loudness metering and multi-channel support up to and including Dolby Atmos 7.1.4, Meter Pro offers the perfect solution. SSL controller owners (UF1/UF8/UC1) can purchase Meter Pro at a heavily discounted price of just $37.49 (usually $199.99). To take advantage of this offer, simply ensure your controller product is registered in the SSL portal and then click on the ‘Get Your Additional Software’ link, grab the exclusive discount code and apply that at the store checkout when purchasing the Meter Pro.
Loudness Metering (Meter Pro only)
A complete suite of Loudness visualisations including Momentary bar, Short-Term History capture and Histogram, plus customisable text value readouts and alerts make working to your desired delivery platform a breeze. Includes an extensive presets list covering various international broadcast, streaming and film standards.
True Peak & RMS Levels + K-System
Dual True Peak and RMS meters, supplemented by max and current text readouts give you essential feedback on levels and overloads. A Lissajous phase scope with adjustable fade rate, together with a phase correlation meter and stereo balance bar helps flag phase and imaging issues within your stereo mix.
31-band Real-Time Analyser (RTA)
The 31-band Real-Time Analyser (RTA) displays the frequency spectrum of your instrument or mix allowing you to pinpoint any problem areas. You can interrogate each band for precise frequency values, as well as being able to adjust the Peak hold time and Averaging time to suit the source material.
Analogue metering for your DAW.
Choose between VU (Volume Unit) and PPM (Peak Programme Meter Type II) modes. VUs and PPMs have been trusted metering tools amongst recording and broadcast engineers for decades and continue to provide highly valuable feedback about mix balances.
