2. SSL Mixer V6 System Requirements Compatible SSL Audio Cards MX4 MX4 PCIe card features two MADI inputs and two MADI outputs, providing 112 or 128 simultaneous inputs and outputs at up to 48kHz, 56 or 64 simultaneous inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz. And a set of SSL optimised hardware DSPs that allows it to perform the most demanding mixing tasks. Mixpander The SSL Mixpander PCI card can accept up to 64 simultaneous I/O at 48Khz via its expansion port when connected to SSL Alphalink interfaces or SSL Soundscape iBox range of audio interfaces. Compatible Windows Versions and Driver Protocols The SSL MX4 PCIe card and associated software are compatible with the following operating systems and driver protocols: Platform Operating System Driver Protocols PC Windows XP SP2 or later (32bit only) Windows Vista SP1 or later (32bit only) ASIO 2,WDM,MME,GSIF2,DWave Note: MX4 can run under OSX Tiger V10.4.11 or greater, and on OSX Leopard V10.5.4 or greater by using Madixtreme Core Audio Divers. Under MAC OS the MX4 Card works as a MadiXtreme 128. The Mixer Software and DSP Plug-Ins however, do not work with MAC OS. The SSL Mixpander PCI card and associated software are compatible with the following operating systems and driver protocols: Platform Operating System Driver Protocols PC Windows XP SP2 or later (32bit only) Windows Vista SP1 or later (32bit only) ASIO 2,WDM,MME,GSIF2,DWave The SSL MX4 comes with Low-latency MME drivers, WDM drivers, ASIO-2 drivers, DWave drivers and GSIF drivers for Windows XP and Vista. It can be used with any PC based MIDI & Audio sequencer, recording and editing software or other audio applications. The SSL Soundscape Drivers are truly multiclient, allowing you to share your SSL audio hardware between several applications that use different driver models. MADI Converter, Console or Routing Device As world leader in large format analogue and digital mixing consoles, it was natural for SSL to be among the companies that initiated the development of MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface). The MADI standard was finalised by the AES as AES10, first published in 1991 and revised in 1993. A PDF copy of the specification can be obtained from the AES website. With outstanding digital audio workstation systems and innovative DSP-powered multichannel audio cards, the SSL product line has always been at the cutting edge of professional studio technology in terms of sonic performance, processing power and multiple inputs/outputs. Featuring SSL’s revolutionary PCIe-Core Audio Pipeline technology and supported by the legendary SSL Soundscape drivers, MX4 builds on this heritage as one of the first audio devices to take full advantage of the high speeds and incredible bandwidth offered by the PCIe bus on modern computers.
