Studio Bundle for Recording and Mixing

This bundle combines the SSL 18 USB-C audio and MIDI interface with the ALPHA 8 AD/DA converter and expander. Together they provide a 26-in 28-out rackmount system for professional studio recording, producing, and mixing. The package delivers 32-bit 192 kHz conversion and eight SSL-designed microphone preamplifiers.

Suited for Studios Needing ADAT Expansion

The bundle suits engineers who want to grow an existing setup using 16-channel ADAT and S/PDIF connections alongside MIDI I/O. It also provides two Hi-Z instrument inputs, two headphone outputs, and ten line outputs for monitoring flexibility. Studios requiring more than 26 simultaneous input channels or a different connectivity standard should consider other options.

Deciding Specification 26-in 28-out USB-C

The single figure that determines fit is the 26-in 28-out USB-C configuration. This channel count and connection type define whether the bundle matches your current routing and computer interface requirements.

Questions about this item

How many channels can I record simultaneously with the 26-in configuration?

The bundle provides 26 input channels — 18 from the SSL 18 interface and 8 additional channels from the ALPHA 8 converter via ADAT — so you can track up to 26 sources at once.

What does the USB-C connection limit in terms of sample rate and channel count?

USB-C carries 32-bit/192 kHz conversion on the SSL 18, while the 16-channel ADAT link adds the ALPHA 8's 8 inputs and 8 outputs without reducing the main interface's rate.

How much rack space do the two units need together?

Both the SSL 18 and the ALPHA 8 are 1U rackmount devices, so the pair occupies 2U of standard 19-inch rack height.
