Six Senses Ibiza uses Solid State Logic ORIGIN analog consoles in new recording studio
The Spanish island of Ibiza has been a household name since the 1970s as a holiday destination, with its vibrant entertainment program drawing hordes of revelers. Performers include DJs playing electronic music, artists such as the Arctic Monkeys, Lady Gaga and Sting. In June 2022, global luxury resort brand Six Senses launched a recording studio featuring a Solid State Logic ORIGIN 32-channel analog mixer as part of a new expansion of its Six Senses Ibiza resort for artists, production People and DJs provide excellent production facilities.
Six Senses Ibiza's latest development is a spa and wellness retreat on the other side of the Mediterranean island, comprising a range of spacious suites, restaurants, bars and a live music venue. Dubbed The Beach Cave, so named because of the luxurious indoor/outdoor living spaces reminiscent of a coastal cave, the complex was designed in collaboration with owner, architect and real estate developer Jonathan Leitersdorf and hospitality pioneer Ben Pundole.
Danny Ariel of Israel-based retail and design firm D&D/AVARC said the new studio is the only one of its kind in Europe and can also be accessed from the private entrance of the 3,300-square-foot exclusive Royal Suite. Enter. Ariel was the lead designer of the facility, supplying all equipment and overseeing its integration. British architect Roger Darcy provided the acoustic design for the facility.
Ariel decided to install the SSL ORIGIN console in consultation with Asaf Busidan, who was responsible for system integration of the console and auxiliary equipment, as well as network design. Ariel explained: “We knew visiting artists would be happy to see the SSL brand. Plus, ORIGIN delivered the sound quality and reliability of SSL.”
Most important, he says, is the design of the studio. “We thought about musicians who wanted to come to Ibiza and have a studio night. If you are a DJ, producer, artist, musician or singer, you can come to Ibiza with your family or your partner island vacation, and work in the studio at night.” ORIGIN’s intuitive signal flow and simple work layout make it easy to operate, even for those who have never mixed with a large console, allowing you to Put more inspiration into creation.

Routing to selected outboard processors in the room is possible via workstation interfaces, AD/DA converters and mic preamps. Dynacord and Pioneer DJ equipment are also available. “We chose brands that producers, DJs, artists, and singers all love. From DJs, live instruments to vocals to post-production and film editing, it’s all plug-and-play. You just use a USB cable to connect your laptop."
