High-capacity Audio Interface with Network Connectivity
As powerful as it is portable, the Solid State Logic UMD192 was engineered by SSL’s legendary technology experts to meet the demands of mission-critical live sound, broadcast, and studio environments. This high-capacity digital audio interface offers a generous amount of connectivity, supporting up to 192 channels at up to a 192kHz sample rate. Additionally, it features a USB 3.0 class-compliant interface that works natively with macOS and provides Windows support via the SSL driver. A logical fit for professional workflows, the UMD192 includes six MADI BNC pairs with redundant mode for three dual-redundant MADI connections, as well as fully interoperable Dante AoIP, supplying you with latency as low as 0.25ms. Flexible MADI and Dante clocking options ensure lock-tight synchronization; meanwhile, ruggedized Ethernet ports with Link and Activity LEDs certify rock-solid reliability. The UMD192’s front panel brandishes clear indicators for signal flow, sample rate matching, power status, and connectivity, alongside intuitive controls with a lockout feature to safeguard against unauthorized tampering. You also get support for multiple power options — AC, PoE, and USB — with redundancy for added peace of mind. Lastly, the UMD192’s lightweight, half-rack form factor makes it ideal for desktop, console-side, and rackmounted use. For those searching for an ironclad bridge between USB, MADI, and Dante, we’re happy to report that the SSL UMD192 ticks all the right boxes.

The perfect bridge between USB, MADI, and Dante
Ideal for bridging multiple MADI-connected devices into a Dante network or for high-channel-count recording and playback via USB 3.0, the UMD192 supports bidirectional audio between any two formats — MADI, Dante, and USB — with the third format able to receive a split feed. Moreover, you get support for 192 channels at 48kHz and 44.1kHz, 192 channels at 96kHz and 88.2kHz, and 128 channels at 192kHz and 176.4kHz. On the network side, the UMD192 delivers fully interoperable Dante AoIP with AES67 and ST 2110 (with DDM) support and ultra-low Dante latency, down to 0.25ms. And with flexible clocking from either MADI or Dante, covering sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, you’re assured flawless system synchronization. Finally, with six MADI BNC pairs on tap, the UMD192 can be configured in redundant mode, providing you with three dual-redundant MADI connections — a must-have for high-stakes broadcast and live workflows.
An all-in-one solution for live, broadcast, and studio
Engineers at Sweetwater have found the Solid State Logic UMD192 to be a natural fit for live sound applications. That said, this versatile audio interface has also proven valuable across a wide range of audio scenarios, including broadcast, recording, and mixing. Moreover, you can pair the UMD192 with SSL’s System T for high-channel-count immersive music production. It also performs flawlessly as a computer interface for Harrison 32Classic systems with Dante, and it’s a seamless match for SSL Oracle or Origin installations with Dante or MADI conversion. And, of course, the UMD192’s exceptional connectivity, format bridging, and operational flexibility also make it a robust solution for non-SSL console users in live sound, broadcast, studio, and post-production settings. Regardless of how you deploy it, the UMD192 will keep your workflow streamlined and future-ready.
Intuitive front-panel controls for easy operation
Thanks to its intuitive front-panel controls, operating the UMD192 is an incredibly straightforward affair. Clear, high-visibility indicators provide you with real-time feedback on signal flow, sample rate sync, power status, and network connectivity. The UMD192 features a lockout feature to safeguard your predefined configuration and prevent unauthorized changes to your settings. To temporarily unlock the controls and change modes, all you need to do is press and hold the padlock button.
