SSL UF8 Advanced DAW Controller

The SSL UF8 gives advanced music-technology students direct, console-style control over recording, editing and mixing. Motorised faders, rotary encoders and clear displays make automation and balancing large sessions more immediate than working solely with a mouse.

Its broad software compatibility makes it suitable for shared studios teaching several DAW platforms, while additional units can be added as facilities expand.
