Professional USB Audio Interface with Legendary SSL Sound Quality

The SSL 18 Audio Interface delivers the signature precision and sonic excellence of Solid State Logic in a compact, versatile unit that’s perfect for studios, home setups, and on-the-go recording. Built with premium components and packed with flexible features, it’s designed to meet the demands of modern music production, podcasting, and streaming without compromising on audio quality.

Studio-Grade Preamps

Equipped with four SSL-designed mic/line preamps, the SSL 18 captures vocals and instruments with stunning clarity, depth, and presence. Each preamp offers +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of studio mics.
