Why SSL 18 USB-C Audio Interface Is Better
While many interfaces offer a high channel count, the Solid State Logic SSL 18 stands apart by delivering the genuine SSL sound that has defined countless hit records. Unlike competitors' generic preamps, the SSL 18 features eight preamps designed by SSL, providing unmatched clarity and headroom. The exclusive Legacy 4K function is not a digital simulation; it's a real analogue circuit that gives you the sonic signature of their world-famous large-format consoles—a feature no other interface in this class can offer. For those serious about audio quality, the SSL 18 provides a direct line to a professional, radio-ready sound without the need for an expensive console.
