Is the circuitry of the 6000 SL the same as the XL Pro?
- Thread starter alric

much admired 6000 Di Pro SL with a smaller, lighter, better balanced design w/o sacrificing the excellent performance and analog display.
The 6000 Pro XL, later renamed the XL Pro, uses the same small housing as the XLT and Classic SL series with the drop-in 8-AA battery tray. It doesn't have the Volume control (which was useless anyway) and the target volume is internally designed at full response volume.
The sensitivity is also at, or slightly higher, than the former model. Otherwise, it retains the same 3-mode control knob (TR-Disc., GEB-Disc., and you choice of a GEB All Metal mode without auto-tune [Norm] or with auto-tune [SAT]). I like my Vision, and I've enjoyed my XLT's, but as of right now there is nothing I enjoy more for 'cruising' than my 6000 Pro XL/XL Pro. It is, without a doubt, THE model by which I compare all others.

No, it is not the same. I recall a White's engineer involved with the 6000 Pro XL project (rcsnake) saying the final product only retained about 15 to 17 parts from the former model. It was a fresh engineer design with the goal to make a top-end analog model that would match, or better, the performance of the 6000 Di Pro SL.alric said:
