Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII 2 x 4 USB-C Audio Interface

Crafted for recording and production

SSL’s robust history in large-format consoles conjures an era of studio work that was defined by careful decision-making and real-time collaboration. The SSL 2+ MKII masterfully captures that workflow and reimagines it for the contemporary workflow, wherein the convenience and speed of DAWs, plug-ins, and recording reduce the commonplace need for dozens, if not hundreds, of simultaneously available channel strips. Its 2 x 4 architecture, combination jacks, 5-pin MIDI I/O, and per-channel controls let you seamlessly move between external configurations of gear and instrumentation, while the SSL 2+ MKII’s low-profile form factor and intuitive interfacing offer not just detailed and dynamic connectivity and feedback information but satisfying tactility. Moreover, the SSL 2+ MKII features dual high-current headphone outputs, each of which can individually attenuate the output mix to make back-to-back production and joint studio sessions a breeze in any setting. Plus, its USB 2.0 bus-powered design makes plug-and-play recording a cinch, with compatibility for both Mac and PC machines.

Legacy 4K: instant analog magic

SSL built its reputation on its celebrated large-format consoles, through which countless hit records and Grammy-award-winning albums have flowed. In particular, the SSL 4000 series console has inspired generations of musicians, producers, and engineers with its undeniable analog character. The SSL 2+ MKII brings that signature 4000 series sound into your project studio with its Legacy 4K Analog Enhancement Circuit, which, with the push of a button, imparts the preamps with two essential characteristics of the 4000 series signal chain. The first thing you’ll hear is a musical, high-frequency EQ boost that will push your vocal or instrument forward in the soundfield for a deeper, more dimensional sonic profile. Then, you’ll notice a subtle addition of harmonic distortion that sweetens the sound and adds personality to the signal. For small format recording interfaces, there is nothing quite like the Legacy 4K button.
