The Solid State Logic XL-Desk with 8 E Series EQ Modules is a modern twist on the classic analog studio console. It's designed for tracking or mixing engineers who require an analog console within a DAW-centric studio, but don't want or need the integrated DAW control and analog level automation other SSL console products have.

XL-Desk is in many ways a traditional 24 into 8 analog console, but it packs in a wide selection of features. It has 20 channel strips: 16 dual input mono (switchable between main input or DAW return) and 4 stereo channels. The first eight channels have VHD mic pre's. There is an 18-slot 500-series rack built in that can be used for processing or mic pre's. This version of the console comes loaded with 8 E Series EQ modules and 8 empty slots. XL-Desk ships with a legendary SSL Stereo Bus Compressor module in slots 17 & 18 (hard-wired to Mix A). The rack has its own dedicated power supply.

There are four main Mix Busses (A, B, C, D) with Busses B, C and D able to be summed into Mix A. The Busses and channels can access the 500 racks, and each has a separate insert point for processing. There are two mono aux sends and two stereo return inputs. Direct outputs on every channel, stereo return and mix bus enable convenient stem printing. Each channel has a Cue Stereo Bus section (with Pan and Level) used to provide one of the headphone mixes while tracking. At mixdown, the mono channel DAW return signals can be routed to the CUE ST bus and then summed into Mix A. As a result, there are 16 main faders, 16 Cue ST inputs, and 4 Stereo channels, providing 40 summing inputs (using the stereo returns and insert sum functions you can squeeze in over 50 summing inputs).

There is also a fully-featured monitoring section with bass management (3 sets of speakers + subwoofer), foldback A and B with individual talk-backs for headphone mixes, and a built-in Listen Mic input + classic compressor circuit, with its own direct output.

Matter-enabled High Quality Light Strips
Size: 9.8ft
Great lights. Used these as accent lights behind an entertainment center to avoid harsh overhead lights. Three in total. They put out plenty of light and easy to install and use. Love the Matter integration. Negatives: can’t use the cut portion. Once it’s cut, the extra is useless. Not cheap for a light strip. Purchase if you like the light tech or want Matter integration. You have to guess for “light temperatures” (warm, daylight, etc.). I used a Google search for finding the Hex # to input into light control and fine tune from there Love these and would buy again

Great product, reliable quality!
Size: 9.8ft, Size: 9.8ft
I moved into a new place with wood stairs. There’s a landing step that is invisible at night - it just looks like the floor below the step. Of course, one can only determine a stair to be invisible at night after one misses said stair, falling, twisting ankle and foot, lying on floor cursing and crying for help from the husband at 11pm in the dark. I used painters tape for a couple of weeks. Again, not so helpful at night but there was some distinction. I knew I needed to light this step up to avoid future slips on the invisible step. I love Govee products. I have a Govee metal tall skinny lamp thing which is where I learned about this gummy, straight, light tube that they make. I really did not want the light strips that were cheaper w the separate little lights on them since this was going under a stair and you could see the underside of the stair clearly from our lower living room whilst sitting on the couch. This product was SUPER easy to install. I love that you can cut it to size (though if you need exact I would go with the Govee light strips w the little lights there’s more cut areas closer together). I love that I already have the Govee app and it connected relatively easily (turning things on/off, using airplane mode and unplugging will get you connected). My 2 gripes about Govee… 1. Please figure out how to make strips that you can cut and connect - I want to be able to configure a corner or different shape besides just a straight line. I also want to be able to connect multiple lines to one adapter (I had a cheap one that could do this but I was afraid it would burn my house down). I paid $$$ for a single step and would like to have been able to use the rest of my strip for another step but instead it’s just useless. 2. I wish it dimmed a little more - the 1% is really bright in the dark. This strip is VERY bright. Anyways, love my step and it’s safe to take the painters tape off and have it be a normal step.

Bright, with great diffuser
Size: 16.4ft
This is a nice, flexible light with a good diffuser. The tape is sticky, so make sure you want this to be permanent, because it's likely to damage wall paint when removed. Lot's of color, pattern, and dynamic light options with the software. My last Govee light strip had the green LEDs burn out after a year, hopefully that's not the case here. I will update this review if that happens. These are pretty pricey, so hopefully they're durable!
