Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface

Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII 2x4 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface raises the bar by delivering premium 32-bit / 192 kHz audio quality with a series of carefully curated feature additions and a user-friendly design that caters to both those starting their creative journey and seasoned professionals. Whether recording a podcast or live streaming on social media, creators have all the tools needed for high-quality content creation. Two class-leading mic preamps capture every nuance in conversations and voiceovers, while the built-in stereo loopback function functionality enables audiences to hear virtual guests or system audio with ease.

Featuring SSL’s next-gen AD/DA converters, punchy mic/line/instrument inputs, two discrete, professional-grade headphone outputs, and the SSL Production Pack, SSL 2+ MKII gives music producers everything needed for professional-quality sound in the studio. With essential connectivity for microphones and instruments, including auto-detect instrument DI inputs, SSL's Legacy 4K analog enhancement to impart that unique "mojo" to your tracks, and zero-latency monitoring to comfortably capture performances, SSL 2+ MKII enables songwriters and artists to quickly create great-sounding demos—all the way to finished tracks ready for streaming. And for live performance, SSL 2+ MKII also offers 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O for triggering samples and loops, and DC-coupled line outputs for sending control voltages (CV) to synths, bridging studio and stage

Two High-Gain SSL Mic Pre / Line-Level Inputs

• The SSL 2+ MKII is equipped with two high-performance SSL-designed microphone preamps, delivering a massive 64 dB gain range and outstanding 116.5 dB dynamic range.
• The design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete, low-noise transistors in combination with ICs to deliver performance far beyond what’s usually associated with a portable bus-powered interface.
• Both mic/line channels are equipped with independently switchable high-pass filters to clean up rumble. And for condenser microphones, switchable +48V phantom power is provided, so you can record with a mixture of microphone types at the same time.
• The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs double up as line-level inputs, designed to capture keyboards, synths, samplers, drum machines, or external audio processors like EQs and compressors. With a huge 117 dB dynamic range and +24 dBu maximum input level, SSL 2+ MKII’s line inputs are compatible with all professional line-level equipment.
• In addition to the XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs on the back panel, SSL 2+ MKII features two dedicated 1/4" auto-detect instrument (DI) inputs located on the front panel.
• Just like you find on a guitar amp, these Hi-Z inputs allow you to record guitar, bass, or anything with a high impedance output.
• SSL-designed DIs—as found on their larger desk-top mixers—deliver amazing weight, detail, and texture to your instrument recordings, making sure you have the best possible sound to process in your DAW.
