The SSL Series interfaces are bus-powered, meaning an external power supply isn\u2019t required. It\u2019s recommended to connect it directly to your computer, as USB hubs may not provide enough power to the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Connect the USB cable from your interface to the computer.

Sometimes, USB hubs can\u2019t provide enough power for bus-powered audio interfaces. If the issue still persists, try a different USB port or cable.
