8 microphone/line-level inputs.

4K analogue enhancement, Polarity Invert, High-Pass Filters and 48V Phantom Power per channel.

Configurable analogue insert points for inputs 1 and 2, great for tracking with analogue gear

Inputs 1 and 2 are switchable to instrument-level.

Line inputs bypass preamp – perfect for integrating external preamps.

10 balanced line outputs.

Alternative speaker switching is available for pairs 1&2 and 3&4.

+9 dBu/+24 dBu output level configuration options for pairs 1&2 and 3&4 to best match your monitors.

DC-coupled outputs are perfect for sending control voltages to synthesisers and modular rigs.

2 independent, powerful headphone outputs with dedicated level controls.

3 mode options to suit different headphone impedances – Standard, High Sensitivity, High Impedance.

Create custom headphone mixes.

Re-purpose as line outputs.

+24 dBu operating level for inputs and outputs – perfect for integrating professional outboard gear as hardware inserts.

16 channels of ADAT I/O at 44.1/48 kHz, 8 channels at 96 kHz.

Next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz converters.

Class-leading audio performance in every area:

Best-in-class low-noise microphone preamps with outstanding –130.5 dBu EIN and 67 dB gain range for working with any microphone.

Best-in class 120 dB dynamic range across all inputs & headphone outputs.

Best-in class 125 dB dynamic range on monitor and line outputs.

Comprehensive management of all inputs and outputs onto the SSL 18 low-latency mixer.

Create the control room mix, plus an additional 4 custom monitor mixes with ease – HP A (stereo), HP B (stereo), LINE 3-4 (stereo or dual mono).

Flexible Mirror Routing system to route any input or aux master directly to an output – perfect for feeding personal monitoring systems, external metering and outboard FX.

Customise the monitoring section front panel buttons to suit your workflow.

Flexible clocking options – internal (clock signal available on Wordclock output), or clock from incoming ADAT or S/PDIF

Dedicated Talkback input with analogue Listen Mic Compressor (LMC).

Talkback input can also be used in LINE mode for the creative processing of stems through the LMC when producing and mixing.

2 channels of S/PDIF (coaxial or optical).

MIDI I/O on 3.5 mm TRS jacks.

Custom Monitor Control Assignment - choose which analogue outputs are affected by the front panel monitor control. Perfect for surround/immersive monitoring. Can also be set to affect the S/PDIF output.
