SSL 4064-E (documented 1988–2003)

Little is documented about the SSL 4064-E. No factory literature, review coverage or technical details have surfaced in the Archive's files, so this page is built from a handful of period trade listings. What they show is a large-format Solid State Logic recording console that was in professional studio service by 1988 and still trading as used equipment well into the 2000s.

The earliest appearance found is a 1988 advertisement for Nashville's Emerald Sound Studios. It lists an "SL 4064 E Series" with 56 channels, driven by the SSL G Series Studio Computer with Total Recall (Recording Engineer, Aug 1988, p.36). A few years later, the 4064-E shows up in Mix's used-gear classifieds. A 4064E/G was offered at $190,000 in September 1994 (p.215). By July 2003, a dealer calling itself an exclusive factory-authorized reseller listed a 4064 E/G/TR at $95,000 (p.162). That is half the 1994 price for a console already well into vintage territory. The same 1994 listing includes an SSL 4048E TR, so the 4064-E was one of several 40xx-format SSL consoles in circulation (Mix, September 1994, p.215).

That is about all the record supports. No original price, full specifications or production dates are documented in the sources available.
