Solid State Logic SSL18 Audio Interface

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface: Your Studio´s Analogue Heart

Unlock the legendary sound of Solid State Logic in your personal studio with the SSL 2+ USB Audio Interface. For over four decades, the world´s most revered artists, producers, and engineers have relied on SSL consoles to create iconic recordings. The SSL 2+ distills that prestigious audio heritage into a powerful and intuitive desktop interface, designed to be the centerpiece of your music production, podcasting, or streaming setup. It delivers the professional sonic character and superior technical quality that will elevate your creations from demos to finished masters.

The magic of this interface lies in its unique Legacy 4K mode. Inspired by the character of the classic SSL 4000 series console, this all-analogue enhancement circuit can be engaged with a single button press on each input channel. It instantly injects your recordings with the life and energy of a world-class studio. The first effect is a musical, high-frequency EQ boost that adds air and sparkle to vocals and instruments, helping them cut through the mix. The second adds a touch of subtle, sweet-sounding harmonic distortion, thickening your sound and providing that sought-after analogue warmth and character that digital recordings often lack. It’s the secret ingredient to achieving a more polished, professional, and ´finished´ sound right from the source.

At its core, the SSL 2+ is engineered for pristine audio capture. It features two class-leading, SSL-designed microphone preamps that deliver exceptional performance, with an incredibly low noise floor and a vast gain range. This ensures you capture every nuance of a performance, from the quietest vocal whisper to the loudest guitar amplifier, with stunning clarity and detail. Paired with high-end 24-bit / 192 kHz converters, the same type found in SSL´s renowned professional consoles, the interface guarantees that your audio is translated to the digital domain with uncompromising fidelity.

Designed for the modern creator and collaborator, the SSL 2+ provides an expanded set of monitoring and connectivity options. Its 2-in/4-out configuration allows for immense flexibility. Use the additional outputs for creating a separate headphone mix for your artist, routing to outboard effects, or connecting a second pair of studio monitors for A/B referencing. Collaboration is made simple with two independent, high-current headphone outputs, each with its own mix control. This allows both the engineer and the artist to have their own tailored monitor mix. Furthermore, the inclusion of 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O allows for seamless integration of hardware synthesizers, drum machines, and control surfaces into your workflow.

Built to withstand the rigors of creative life, the SSL 2+ boasts a rugged, desktop-friendly design with a user-focused layout. The front panel is equipped with premium, durable components, including high-quality Neutrik connectors and smooth, reliable Alps pots. The intuitive controls and clear metering provide all the essential feedback you need to focus on your performance, not on the technology. Experience the SSL difference and give your productions the sonic advantage they deserve
