Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII USB-C Audio Interface

Description

Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII 2×2 USB-C Audio Interface raises the bar by delivering exceptional 32-bit / 192 kHz audio quality. With a variety of carefully curated feature additions and a user-friendly design, this interface is suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals in the creative field. Whether recording podcasts or live streaming on social media, creators have access to all the necessary tools for producing high-quality content. The interface includes two top-notch mic preamps that capture every intricate detail in conversations and voiceovers. Additionally, the built-in stereo loopback functionality makes it effortless for audiences to hear virtual guests or system audio.
The SSL 2 MKII features cutting-edge AD/DA convertors from SSL, along with impressive mic/line/instrument inputs and two professional-grade headphone outputs. It also comes with the SSL Production Pack, providing music producers with everything they need to achieve professional-quality sound in the studio. The interface offers essential connectivity options for microphones and instruments, including auto-detect instrument DI inputs. SSL’s Legacy 4K analogue enhancement adds a unique “mojo” to tracks, while zero-latency monitoring ensures comfortable performance capture. Moreover, the SSL 2 MKII facilitates live performances by offering DC-coupled line outputs that send control voltages (CV) to synths, bridging the gap between the studio and the stage.
