Notes: mioXL- The MIDI interface redefined

mioXL is iConnectivity's flagship MIDI power-house, packed full with the very best technology and innovations. With mioXL it's never been easier to get huge amounts of MIDI gear connected and talking to each other. Harness the power of iConnectivity's advanced computer and network connectivity and experience why mioXL redefines what a flagship MIDI interface can and should do.

Connect all your MIDI devices (USB-MIDI, DIN-MIDI, RTP/Network-MIDI) and Mac, PC, and iOS computing devices to each other, and let this rugged, versatile interface put you in control of your MIDI devices and workflow.

On stage or in the studio, RTP/Network-MIDI capability means you are no longer constrained by cable length or limited USB ports. Stack multiple interfaces and computers on a network for ultimate scalability and flexibility.

With mioXL you're able to streamline and expand your MIDI setup, no matter how massive and demanding. Even though it's iConnectivity's most powerful MIDI interface, mioXL is still accessible to all users, allowing you to do whatever you want with MIDI faster, better, and in creative and exciting new ways.

What makes mioXL unique? The iConnectivity difference.

Next-gen Ethernet RTP MIDI adds massive capability and flexiibily

iConnectivity's next generation RTP/Network- MIDI capabilities, and what they'll do for you.

Ethernet connectivity means MIDI is on the network wherever you need it. Regular USB connectivity limits you to keeping your interface within 15ft of your computer. Ethernet connectivity gives you up to 330ft / 100m connection between you and your interface. Drop an interface in every room of your studio, or place an interface virtually anywhere in a venue.

RTP/Network-MIDI is not bound by some of the same restrictions as USB-MIDI.

Easy renaming of network ports - have them show up the way you want them to in your DAW.

Access to more than 22 ports per interface.

iConnectivity's unique network technology is as easy to use as USB! Enjoy your new-found MIDI power without extra headaches.

Use your 22 network MIDI ports anyway you want. Connect each of the 22 RTP-MIDI sessions to any combination of physical or virtual I/O ports. Almost any combination is possible.

Configuring mioXL:
Introducing a new version of iConnectivity's Auracle control software: taking the simplicity of workflow that the original Auracle introduced but now with the added deep configuration functionality that iConnectivity are known for. All the deep configuration options you asked for: MIDI merging, filtering, remapping, and deep routing are all there and super easy to use.

mioXL's display, rotary encoder and capacitive touch controls make navigating presets and monitoring MIDI traffic easy

Presets onboard:

Need to configure your MIDI setup in multiple ways? No problem!

New to mioXL : store and recall up to 32 presets directly on the interface, without even needing a computer!

Easily store and recall unique MIDI routing, filter and merging setups to preset scenes, and recall them all directly via the mioXL front panel.

mioXL's OLED display and encoder wheel gives you a crisp clear way of monitoring MIDI traffic, viewing, and selecting presets.

mioXL makes you the master of your MIDI domain. The MIDI interface: reinvented.

Notes: Top quality professional performance in a reasonably priced package, SSL's 18 is a 26-in/26-out USB interface with eight analogue mic/line channels and the brand's iconic 4K enhancement. A top quality all-rounder for studios of any size.

Supplier's Notes:
Introducing SSL 18 - a new era in rackmount production technology from Solid State Logic. Developed from our unmatched expertise in analogue and digital design, SSL 18 offers exceptional audio performance with a studio session-ready feature set, delivered with the signature SSL sound and premium quality that professionals trust. Whether you are recording, producing or mixing, SSL 18 enhances production workflows while elevating the performance of your creative space, it's the ultimate centrepiece for your studio. Welcome to a new era in rack mount interface performance.

Next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz converters provide the platform for SSL 18's analogue design to shine, with unrivalled dynamic range performance of 120 dB across all microphone, line-level and instrument inputs - capture your sources like never before. Experience 125 dB dynamic range on the monitor and line outputs to hear your music with uncompromised fidelity. Need to work on headphones? No problem, with the unbeatable 120 dB dynamic range on offer from the dual-headphone outputs.

SSL 18 features eight high-performance SSL-designed mic pre's, with switchable Mic/Line configuration. Leveraging our renowned engineering expertise, they deliver ultra-low noise recordings and a huge dynamic range, making sure you capture every detail of the performance with stunning accuracy. Their advanced 2-stage circuitry ensures ultra-low distortion while maintaining the natural character of the source - or flip them into Legacy 4K Mode to add real analogue saturation and the iconic 4000 series sound to vocals, drums, and more. What's more, in Line mode the mic preamp stage is completely bypassed - perfect for connecting external outboard gear. Located on the front of the unit, inputs 1 & 2 also offer instrument/Hi-Z inputs to capture DI'd guitars and vintage synths/drum machines.

SSL 18 comes equipped with ten balanced line-level outputs located on the rear of the unit. To ensure optimal signal integrity and maximise headroom, line outputs 1&2 and 3&4 can be configured between +9 and +24 dBu, providing seamless compatibility with a wide range of studio monitors and vintage equipment operating at lower levels. Outputs 3 to 10 operate at +24 dBu, perfect for integrating professional outboard equipment. For producers, all outputs are DC-coupled and capable of sending control voltage to synthesizers and modular rigs.

Custom headphone mixes with two independent headphone outputs, configurable for different types with 'Standard', 'High Sensitivity', and 'High Impedance' settings. SSL 18's headphone outputs can also be repurposed as line-level outputs for added flexibility.

SSL 18 features a full monitor controller section with built-in talkback input. Line outputs 1&2 and 3&4 offer alternative speaker switching with Alt and Cut accessible via the monitor controls located on the front panel. Alternatively, customise the monitor controls via SSL 360 and tailor them to your workflow. SSL 18 also features a dedicated talkback input channel that can operate in MIC or LINE mode. LINE mode is great for re-processing audio through the classic Listen Mic Compressor - crush drums, parallel vocals, and more.

The SSL 4000 series consoles (often referred to as '4K') are renowned for imparting a unique 'mojo' to sounds and instruments that pass through them. This mojo comes from multiple stages of harmonic distortion from compressor VCAs, VCA faders, and other crucial components such as the transistor mix amps. Using modern components, SSL has developed a circuit that distils the two essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single design. Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement injects a controlled amount of finely-tuned, sweet-sounding harmonic distortion and a 'forward' yet musical high-frequency EQ boost into the signal path, giving your sound the 4K mojo and presence that artists and engineers have loved for decades.

A host of digital audio connections means that SSL 18 is ready to expand your I/O count whenever you are, with an additional 16 channels via ADAT and a further two via S/PDIF. SSL 18's dedicated Word clock output provides rock-solid clocking for integrating external digital devices into your system.

The SSL 18 mixer offers comprehensive management of all inputs and outputs, as well as detailed, scalable input metering in SSL 360-. In the SSL 18 mixer you can create and manage the control room monitor mix, as well as configure up to four independent mixes for performers. In addition, a flexible Mirror Routing system allows you to route any input or aux master directly to an output - perfect for feeding personal monitoring systems, external metering and outboard FX. Create different templates for tracking, mixing and more, then save them as a profile in the SSL 18 mixer.

Designed by the same engineering teams behind the esteemed range of analogue and digital mixing consoles, SSL's rich heritage can be found throughout the design and feature set. SSL 18 is the only product in its category that is designed to properly integrate with professional outboard gear, thanks to the +24 dBu capable inputs and outputs.
