SSL 18 Compatibility

OS interface compatibility

MacOS

SSL 18 is a class compliant device and works directly with macOS Core Audio. There is no macOS driver. Simply plug it in, select the SSL as the sound device in System Preferences and you are ready to go.

At the time of release, SSL 18 was officially tested as far back as Ventura (version 13). It is reasonable to expect that it will also work on earlier versions of Mac OS but this is not officially supported/tested.

iOS and Android

SSL 18 is not officially supported with iOS, however, it is class compliant, and the iPad supports class compliant devices. SSL 18 is powered by it’s own internal power supply that requires an IEC connection.

Linux

SSL 18 is not officially supported under Linux. However, many Linux Operating systems and audio drivers support class compliant devices. We have not tested nor can we recommend any Linux OS

Windows 

Windows ARM-based systems are not supported and therefore may not work.

SSL 18 requires our ASIO driver to be installed on Windows. The SSL 18 series ASIO drivers are multiclient (multi-client). This means multiple ASIO apps can use the interface simultaneously.

 

USB interface information 

The connector on the back of the SSL 18 is USB-C.

SSL 18 is a USB 2.0 device.

SSL provides a USB-C and a USB-A adapter. The type of USB connector on your computer will determine if you use this adapter or not.
