Which mixing consoles work with SSOUNDS PA systems?
Quick answer
SSOUNDS PA systems are compatible with any professional mixing console that provides balanced line-level outputs (XLR or TRS), including digital consoles from Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Soundcraft, DiGiCo, and MIDAS.
SSOUNDS loudspeakers and amplifiers accept standard analog audio inputs via XLR connectors, so they work with virtually any mixing console that outputs a balanced line-level signal. Whether you use an analog or digital console, the connection is straightforward: simply patch the console's main outputs or group outputs into the SSOUNDS system processor or amplifier inputs.
For digital consoles, you can also integrate via AES3 digital audio inputs on select SSOUNDS amplifiers, allowing a direct digital connection without analog conversion. This preserves signal integrity and reduces latency. Many touring engineers pair SSOUNDS systems with consoles from DiGiCo, Yamaha (CL/QL series), Allen & Heath (dLive), or MIDAS (Pro series) for seamless workflow.
If you are using a console with Dante or AVB networking, SSOUNDS amplifiers can be equipped with optional network cards to accept those protocols, enabling full digital audio networking. This is especially useful for large-scale events where multiple console positions or remote stages are involved. SSOUNDS technical support can advise on specific integration for your console model.
