The USB connector enables computers with USB connectivity to interface directly with an SL Series
mixer for full duplex recording and playback. In recent years the introduction of USB connectivity
has ushered a new appreciation of the capabilities of computer audio, helping to fuse both digital
and analogue and open up endless possibilities for the recording musician.
The internal AD (Analogue to Digital) and DA (Digital to Analogue) converters are 16-bit/48KHz
enabling recording and playback above CD quality, ensuring that recordings that you make with an
SL Series Mixer have outstanding quality.
The SL Series are fully class compliant and require no drivers when used with modern operating
systems. Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and 7 will require no additional driver software.
