The X Panda, expands your mixing capabilities giving you greater control over mixes at your helm. Below are some excerpts from the Solid State Logic Website. Also, checkout the video from one of the Solid State Logic reps, in one of the most impressive sales pitches we’ve seen to date

“X-Panda Mono channels feature a Main and Alt input with a +/-20dB input Level Trim control with a centre detent at unity gain, tri-colour signal indicator LEDs, Phase Invert, an Insert switch and it is also possible to source the Direct Channel Output post fader. Each channel has a Stereo Cue section with dedicated Level and Stereo Pan controls. When tracking this is traditionally used to create a monitor feed to the Stereo Cue Buss Output but an Alt button flips the Stereo Cue section controls to controlling the Alt input Level & Pan for mix down. Each channel features independent FX1 and FX2 send level controls. Self illuminated heavy duty Solo and Cut buttons and precision 100mm faders complete the channel strip.”

“On the X-Panda, the FX1 and FX2 send system is globally switchable between Pre and Post Fader operation. When linked to an X-Desk using the ‚ÄòSSL Unite‚Äô connection, the X-Panda FX Busses feed the Master Section of the X-Desk and are routed to the Master Send Level Controls of the X-Desk. When used as a standalone system the X-Panda FX Buss outputs are set at unity gain so function as a traditional Aux send system, but without a Master Send Level control or a dedicated Aux Return (if an FX Return is required a Stereo fader could be used).”
