Solid State Logic (SSL) UMD192 High-Capacity Digital Audio Interface

The most powerful MADI & Dante digital audio interface available

Solid State Logic is proud to introduce the UMD192, a powerful and portable USB audio interface designed to meet the demands of professional live sound, broadcast, and high-spec studio environments. With seamless integration across MADI, Dante, and USB, the UMD192 offers flexible routing, high channel counts, and uncompromising performance for recording, playback, and format bridging. Providing 192 channels at both 96 and 48 kHz, or 128 channels at 192 kHz in a compact and portable ½RU form factor.  

The Perfect Bridge Between USB, MADI and Dante 

Built for versatility, the UMD192 supports bidirectional audio between any two formats – MADI, Dante or USB – with the third format able to receive a split feed. This makes it ideal for bridging multiple MADI-connected devices into a Dante network, or for high-channel-count recording and playback via USB 3.0.

On the network side, UMD192 delivers fully interoperable Dante AoIP with AES67 and ST 2110 (with DDM) support and ultra-low Dante latency down to 0.25 ms. UMD192 provides flexible clocking options from either MADI or Dante, covering sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz. With six MADI BNC pairs, the UMD192 can also be configured in redundant mode, enabling three dual-redundant MADI connections for mission-critical broadcast and live workflows.

The All-in-One Solution for Live, Broadcast and Studio

While the UMD192 is a natural fit for live sound environments, its versatility makes it equally valuable across a wide range of professional audio scenarios. From broadcast music recording and mixing—especially when paired with SSL System T—to high-channel-count studio sessions, the UMD192 delivers seamless integration and robust performance.

It’s an ideal computer interface for Harrison 32Classic systems with Dante, and a perfect match for SSL Oracle or ORIGIN installations with Dante or MADI conversion. The UMD192 is a powerful solution for non-SSL console users in live sound, broadcast, studio and postproduction settings. Offering exceptional connectivity, format bridging and operational flexibility in a compact, portable form factor. 

With unmatched flexibility and robust connectivity, the UMD192 is the perfect companion for engineers working across live sound, broadcast, postproduction, and studio environments. Whether used as a high-capacity interface or a format bridge, the UMD192 keeps workflows streamlined and future-ready. 

Intuitive Front Panel Control

The UMD192 front panel delivers clear, high‑visibility indicators with real‑time feedback on signal flow, sample‑rate sync, power status, and network connectivity, keeping you in control, even under pressure. UMD192’s front panel controls are locked by default to protect your predefined configuration and prevent accidental changes to settings. Press and hold the padlock button to temporarily unlock the other controls and change modes.

·         Lockout – Press and hold to unlock other front panel controls. Press and hold until the red lock symbol in the centre of the circle in the indicator panel turns off

·         Mode – Press to cycle through the signal flow modes – Available when front panel is unlocked.

·         Clock source – Press to toggle between Dante and MADI as clock source – Available when front panel is unlocked.

·         MADI Redundancy – Press to toggle between MADI Redundancy on or off. Redundant mode applies to all MADI ports.  – Available when front panel is unlocked. 

Flexible Power & Redundancy

The UMD192 supports multiple power sources – AC mains, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and USB – offering flexible deployment options and allowing engineers and operators to build power redundancy into their setup. Any of these power sources can be used individually, and PoE can be combined with an external PSU to provide a redundant supply.

Compatible with Mac and Windows

UMD192 is a class-compliant digital audio interface that operates natively with macOS Core Audio, with no additional drivers required. Just connect the unit, select SSL as your audio device in System Settings, and you’re ready to work. This ensures guest engineers can connect a Mac and begin work immediately—no additional software installation is required.

On Windows systems, UMD192 requires the SSL ASIO driver, available from the Solid State Logic Support portal. These ASIO drivers are multi-client, enabling multiple ASIO applications to access the interface simultaneously.
