Solid State Logic SSL18 Audio Interface

Solid State Logic SSL18 Audio Interface

The SSL 18 is the most powerful and flexible part of the desktop audio interface series, providing a professional 18-input and 8-output configuration for your studio. This audio interface is equipped with four high-end SSL microphone preamps, featuring ultra-low noise levels and a wide gain range. Each channel includes the legendary "Legacy 4K" analog sound mode, which, at the touch of a button, imbues the sound with the character, warmth, and clarity characteristic of 4000 series consoles.

This SSL audio interface uses next-generation 32-bit / 192 kHz converters, ensuring impeccable dynamic range and audio detail. Thanks to the integrated ADAT input, you can easily expand the system with an additional 8 channels (for example, by connecting an SSL Pure Drive Octo), while S/PDIF and MIDI connections ensure full integration with all your studio equipment. The integrated Talkback microphone and two independent headphone outputs transform the audio interface SSL 18 into a full-fledged control station for any recording process.
