'C' to 'A' USB adapter
USB Cables & Power
Please use the provided USB 'C' to 'C' Cable to connect the SSL 2+ MKII to
your computer. The connector on the rear of SSL 2 MKII is a 'C' type. The
type of USB port you have available on your computer will determine if you
should use the included 'C' to 'A' adapter. Newer computers may have 'C'
ports, whereas older computers may have 'A' ports. As this is a USB 2.0-
compliant device, it will make no difference to the performance if you require
the additional adapter to connect to your system. SSL 2+ MKII is powered
entirely from the computer's USB-bus power and therefore requires no
external power supply. When the unit is receiving power correctly, the green
USB LED will light a steady green colour. For best stability and
performance, we recommend using one of the included USB cable. Long
USB cables (especially 3m and above) should be avoided as they tend to
suffer from inconsistent performance and are unable to provide steady and
reliable power to the unit.
USB Hubs
Wherever possible, it is best to connect SSL 2+ MKII directly to a spare
USB port on your computer. This will give you the stability of an
uninterrupted supply of USB power. However, if you do need to connect via
a USB 2.0 compliant hub, then it is recommended that you choose one of
high enough quality to provide reliable performance - not all USB hubs were
created equally. With SSL 2+ MKII , we've pushed the limits of audio
performance on a USB bus-powered interface and as such, some low-cost
self-powered hubs might not always be up to the task. Usefully, you can
check out our FAQs at solidstatelogic.com/support to see which hubs we've
successfully used and found to be reliable with SSL 2+ MKII.
System Requirements
Mac and Windows operating systems and hardware are constantly
changing. Please search for 'SSL 2+ MKII Compatibility' in our online FAQs
to see if your system is currently supported.
