USB-C Digital Interface
BiG SiX contains a class compliant USB interface to connect to a PC or MAC. The interface is paired with 16 high quality A to D
and D to A converters that are connected to the SuperAnalogue signal chain in BiG SiX.
USB Cables & Power
Please use one of the provided USB cables ('C' to 'C' or 'C' to 'A') to connect BiG SiX to your computer. The connector on the rear
of BiG SiX is a 'C' type. The type of USB port you have available on your computer will determine which of the two included cables
you should use. Newer computers may have 'C' ports, whereas older computers may have 'A'. As this is a USB 2.0 compliant
device, it will make no difference to the performance as to which cable you use.
BiG SiX is powered independently from the computer's USB-bus power. When the unit is locked to USB correctly, the green
USB LED will light a steady green colour. For best stability and performance, we recommend using one of the included USB
cables. Long and low quality USB cables (especially 3m and above) should be avoided as they tend to suffer from inconsistent
performance.
USB Hubs
Wherever possible, it is best to connect BiG SiX directly to a spare USB port on your computer. 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 equal. With BiG SiX, we optimise the audio performance of a USB 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 BiG SiX.
USB Drivers, Mac and Windows.
Mac
The USB interface in BiG SiX is Core Audio compliant, which means it should be seen by a Apple's OSx software without the need
for any additional drivers. Core Audio was introduced by Apple in OSx version 10.3 (Panther), however the BiG SiX USB interface
has only been tested with Apple OSx version 10.14 (Mojave) or later.
Windows
Windows based PCs will need to install the SSL USB Audio ASIO/WDM driver, which can be found in the Support/Downloads
section of the SSL website at
www.solidstatelogic.com/
More information about the use of the USB interface can be found in the USB section of this Guide.
