Solid State Logic UMD192 - Professional USB/MADI/Dante Audio Interface Solid State Logic, a legend in global audio engineering, introduces the UMD192 audio interface—a powerful and portable device designed for the most demanding production environments. This advanced USB interface combines support for three key audio transmission formats: MADI, Dante, and USB, offering unparalleled routing flexibility and signal bridging. The UMD192 is the ideal solution for high-standard studios, professional live sound, and broadcast environments where reliability, high channel count, and exceptional audio quality are paramount. Product Features The SSL UMD192 is an audio interface offering 192 channels at 48/44.1 kHz and 96/88.2 kHz, as well as 128 channels at 192/176.4 kHz. The device is equipped with USB 3.0 Type C supporting class-compliant operation, ensuring easy integration with Mac OS 12+ and Windows 11 systems. The rear panel features 6 pairs of MADI BNC connectors with redundancy mode, enabling three dual-redundant MADI connections. The interface is fully interoperable with Dante AoIP, supporting AES67 and ST 2110 standards (with DDM), and its ultra-low Dante latency of just 0.25 ms makes it one of the fastest solutions on the market. Uncompromising Performance in a Compact Form The SSL UMD192 was designed to meet the challenges of modern audio production. With support for 192 channels at 96 kHz, the interface enables the execution of the most complex recording sessions, live broadcasts, and post-production projects without compromise. Flexible clocking from MADI or Dante ensures precise synchronization in complex systems, while robust Ethernet ports (2x Primary, 2x Secondary) with Link & Activity LEDs guarantee stable network connections. The compact ½RU chassis makes the device suitable for both desk use and rack mounting or placement next to a mixing console. The intuitive front panel with a lock function prevents accidental setting changes during critical sessions and broadcasts. The SSL UMD192 interface is also a versatile format conversion tool. It seamlessly bridges the worlds of MADI and Dante, allowing signal bridging between different systems and consoles. This makes it an ideal complement to SSL Oracle or ORIGIN installations with Dante or MADI conversion, as well as an excellent computer interface for Harrison 32Classic systems with Dante. It is a powerful solution for users of other console brands in live sound, broadcasting, post-production, and DAW-based studios. Applications High-standard recording studios - music recording and mixing with high channel counts Professional live sound - concerts and events using Dante or MADI networks Broadcast environments and post-production - television, radio, and film projects Integration with SSL System T and Harrison 32Classic consoles Bridging MADI and Dante formats in existing studio installations High-channel-count studio sessions requiring reliable audio transmission Detailed Technical Specifications Channel count at 48/44.1 kHz: 192 Channel count at 96/88.2 kHz: 192 Channel count at 192/176.4 kHz: 128 Computer interface: USB 3.0 Type C (class-compliant) MADI connectors: 6x BNC (3 pairs with redundancy mode) MADI mode: Redundant (3x dual-redundant) Dante latency: 0.25 ms System compatibility: Mac OS 12+ (Class-Compliant), Windows 11 (ASIO/WDM) Power supply: AC, PoE, USB (with redundancy support) Chassis format: ½RU Ethernet ports: 2x Primary, 2x Secondary with Link & Activity LEDs Standard support: AES67, ST 2110 (with DDM) Materials and Construction The SSL UMD192 was designed for years of reliable operation in demanding conditions.
