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 requires no drivers when used with modern operating systems. Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and 7 will require no additional driver software.

Windows XP Installation

Simply choose the device in the following location: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Audio
