Essential Information About the Solid State Logic UMD192 Audio Interface
- USB 3.0 / MADI / Dante Bridge with bidirectional routing and split stream to connect AoIP networks and MADI equipment.
- High density up to 192 channels at 48/96 kHz or 128 channels at 192 kHz in a compact 1/2 RU chassis.
- AoIP Interoperability Dante with AES67 and ST 2110 (DDM) support, latency down to 0.25 ms.
- Maximum resilience redundant MADI, dual Dante network, and AC/PoE/USB power supply.
A Network Gateway at the Heart of the SSL Ecosystem
Designed for modern broadcast, touring, and studio workflows, the UMD192 fits within SSL's network offering and bridges established MADI equipment with next-generation Dante infrastructures. It delivers format conversion, routing, and synchronization in a portable format, essential for critical environments where stability and compatibility are paramount.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for live engineers, broadcast, post-production, and studios with high I/O counts, the UMD192 excels as a high-capacity computer interface, a Dante-MADI gateway, or a redundant backup solution. It integrates seamlessly in mobile control rooms or fixed studios, doubling networks and securing MADI links without sacrificing latency.
Features Designed for Speed and Reliability
Intelligent USB/MADI/Dante Bridge
The UMD192 provides bidirectional audio between two selectable formats, while the third can receive a split stream. USB 3.0 recording/playback operates at high throughput, with flexible sample rate handling from 44.1 to 192 kHz and clock source selection from MADI or Dante for smooth integration into any system.
Professional AoIP Network
Full Dante compatibility, AES67 and ST 2110 (with DDM) compliance, and ultra-low latency down to 0.25 ms ensure seamless interoperability with current AoIP consoles, routers, and nodes. Hardened network ports provide primary/secondary redundancy and immediate visibility of link and activity status.
Front Panel Control and Rapid Deployment
Front indicators provide at-a-glance status of stream, sync, power, and network. A hardware lock prevents accidental operation under pressure, while unlocking grants access to mode switching, clock source selection, and MADI redundancy activation. The 1/2 RU form factor, light weight, and optional rack kit facilitate all configurations.
