Eight SSL-Designed Mic Preamps
You'll fall in love with SSL 18's eight built-in mic preamps, engineered by SSL to their exacting standards. With switchable Mic/Line configuration and 120dB dynamic range, these state-of-the-art preamps ensure ultralow noise recordings with huge headroom.

It's the unmistakable SSL mojo that top artists and engineers have treasured for decades.
Versatile I/O With Line Outputs
SSL18 is packed with premium I/O to integrate seamlessly into any studio environment. Ten balanced line outputs with configurable +9 to +24dBu operating levels provide compatibility with monitors, outboard gear and vintage equipment. Even better, the DC-coupled outputs allow sending control voltages directly to your synths, modular rigs and CV-enabled effects pedals—perfect for producers and electronic musicians. With such flexible signal routing, SSL 18 unlocks new creative possibilities in your workflow.
Comprehensive Monitor Control
Take command of your monitoring with SSL 18's full-featured monitor controller. Switch between alternate speaker outputs, engage talkback with the built-in input or dial in the perfect level—all from the front panel controls. But the real gem is SSL's legendary Listen Mic Compressor circuit, allowing you to reprocess the talkback input for explosive parallel compression on drums, vocals and more. It's an iconic analog effect that defined countless hit records, now at your fingertips.
Expandable I/O, Advanced Software Mixing
