Solid State Logic SL4056E

The Solid State Logic SL4056E (also known as the SSL 4000E) is a 56-input mixing console which was housed at Genesis' Fisher Lane Farm studios, also known as The Farm. It features a G-series computer (lated upgraded to G+ series) and Total Recall automation, plus an SSL Integral synchroniser.

The console was installed at The Farm in the Summer of 1985 - just prior to the recording of Invisible Touch - as chosen by the band, based on their (particularly Phil's) experience at The Town House of working with an SSL in previous years. The SSL had remained the studio's console for over three decades, and Genesis had recorded/mixed various albums. Other famous artists by the likes of Eric Clapton, George Harrison, The Cure Chaka Khan and Lady Gaga have credits associated with The Farm and this particular console.

In early 2022, the SSL console along with the G+ series computer and AMEK mixing sidecar was put on auction by Essex Recording Studios, who bought the console from The Farm beforehand.
