Immersive Mode Audio Channels
Enabling Immersive mode activates the four discrete mic signals on USB Channels 3-6* (see the Setup section
below to activate Immersive mode). These can be used for creating immersive/advanced recordings. The SSL
logo on top of the unit will pulse yellow every 8 seconds when the mic is unmuted, to indicate that Immersive
mode is enabled.
The channel configuration is as follows:
• Channels 1 & 2: Dual mono/stereo mix of mic signals
(depending on the audio processing mode selected)
• Channel 3: Front mic (headphone socket side)
• Channel 4: Back mic (USB socket side)
• Channel 5: Left mic
• Channel 6: Right mic
* To access these channels on Windows, please install the ASIO drivers
referenced in the Software Drivers section above.
Note that Immersive mode is off (channels 3-6 muted) by default as some host devices/applications sum all inputs
together rather than allowing selection of specific source channels. This would cause the discrete mic channels to
be mixed with the internally processed mono/stereo signals on channels 1 & 2. Immersive mode must therefore be
explicitly enabled to use these channels.
Once enabled, the state of Immersive mode will be stored in the SSL Connex unit for the next time you use it.
USB Output Channels
Two USB audio output channels are exposed to your PC or Mac when connecting the SSL Connex unit. These
channels feed the high-quality stereo headphone output. The level of these channels is affected by the
headphone level controls described in the Headphone Level section above.
Loopback Mode
Many headphones are, by design, very effective at blocking out external noises. However, this can lead to an
uncomfortable experience when speaking or singing. The natural response to this lack of direct feedback to our
ears is to speak or sing more loudly. This in turn can lead to a tiring experience and means you’re not captured
at your best.
SSL Connex solves this issue with Loopback mode: some of the microphone signal is added into the headphone
output circuitry, allowing the wearer to hear their surroundings and their own voice without having to
compensate. The amount of mic signal added can be adjusted relative to the main headphone level between
three different levels, or turned off completely (default setting). Loopback mode can be adjusted from the
device’s Setup menu (see below).
The headphone level controls (described above) adjust both the incoming audio from the USB interface and the
Loopback level, i.e. tapping the + button will turn up both the USB audio and mic Loopback signal together in
proportion.
NOTE: The mic signal used for Loopback mode is taken after the mic mute switch (toggled by tapping the SSL logo as
described above). This allows the Loopback signal to be easily disabled for normal headphone use (e.g. listening to
music) and re-enabled for video calls simply by muting and unmuting the mic as normal.
WARNING: Placing headphones on or near the SSL Connex with Loopback enabled could cause feedback! Mute the
mic and/or move the headphones further away if this occurs.
The Loopback level will be stored in the SSL Connex unit for the next time you use it.
