Solid State Logic Launches TCA Tour

Compact fly away System T performance for live touring and broadcast production.

Compact fly away System T performance for live touring and broadcast production.

Solid State Logic (SSL) announce the launch of TCA Tour, a compact fly away audio production system built entirely from System T components. Designed for broadcast, touring, and live production environments, TCA Tour delivers flagship System T performance in a rugged, portable format engineered for fast and reliable deployment on location or on the road.

Designed for rapid deployment on site and on tour
TCA Tour features a new desktop-format control frame with 16 faders and integrated onboard I/O, fully pre-wired and packaged for immediate use. The system includes eight mic/line inputs, four line outputs, headphone monitoring, a built-in network switch, and a custom adjustable mount for a touchscreen and a PC running SSL’s Tempest Control App.

Available in two fader tile options (DFT and DFT+), the DFT+ version adds per fader OLED displays and individual fader metering. For rugged touring reliability, etherCON® and opticalCON® connections provide fast, secure links to external racks housing Tempest Engines and I/O.

Depending on I/O requirements, the system splits across two or three flight cased modules, each weighing under 23 kg including the case, making TCA Tour easy to transport, ship, and deploy worldwide.

Built for scalable AoIP and modern production workflows
Fully compatible with all System T DSP engines (TE1, TE2, and VTE), TCA Tour integrates seamlessly with SSL Network I/O and supports third party Dante, AES67, and ST 2110 devices. The system also supports fader expansion via SSL’s range of System T Remote Fader Tiles, as well as dedicated monitor and main fader controls through the addition of a Remote Master Tile.

The result is a highly flexible solution for corporate, broadcast, and live sound providers who need to bring their own console to an event without compromising on power, workflow, or sonic performance.
