Product Description

Solid State Logic SSL2 MKii USB Audio Interface

For more than 50 years, Solid State Logic has remained at the forefront of studio and recording excellence. In the process, the company has established a legacy of large-format consoles and outboard gear that has been honed, refined, and expanded throughout the decades to include industry-leading plug-ins, interfaces, and more. The Solid State Logic SSL2 MKii USB Audio Interface distills this engineering prowess into a next-gen, mobility-minded menagerie of state-of-the-art recording possibilities. Studio engineers are impressed with the SSL2 MKII’s continued elevation of the bar first raised by its predecessor, expanding its interoperative recording and performance capabilities to suit virtually any studio setup. From its 32-bit/192kHz converters and immaculately balanced monitor outputs to its DC-coupled outputs and audio-detect instrument DI inputs, the SSL2 MKII is primed to perform well beyond the scope of interfaces in its class. Plus, the lauded Legacy 4K mode returns, letting you capture the magic of SSL’s famed 4000-series console, imbuing your sound with distinctive analog character, all from a single push of a button.

Engineered for interoperative exploration

While the original SSL2 was an undeniable marriage of sleek, mobile-friendly form factor and legendary recording expertise, the SSL2 MKII emerges to meet the increasingly diversifying needs of the modern musical landscape, wherein collaboration, instrumentation, and even recording location have vastly expanded configurations. Each preamp hosts a dedicated highpass filter, selectable Line input operation, 48-volt phantom power, and 4K legacy mode, all with a single push of a button. Outputs are DC-coupled, as well, extending your control capabilities to include modular, rackmounted, and standalone synthesizers via CV signals. Front-mounted instrument inputs and rear-mounted combination inputs also facilitate a stereo loopback feature, further augmenting your potential for incorporating external effects and processing.

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 SSL2 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 2 architecture, combination jacks, and per-channel controls let you seamlessly move between external configurations of gear and instrumentation, while the SSL MKII’s low-profile form factor and intuitive interfacing offer not just detailed and dynamic connectivity and feedback information but satisfying tactility. Moreover, the SLS2 MKII features dual high-current headphone outputs, both of which relay the same 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 SSL2 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.

SSL Production Pack: Bundled industry-standard software

Solid State Logic partnered with some of the industry’s leading plug-in purveyors to provide you with a diverse, comprehensive kit of all things virtual, including processors, dynamics tools, instruments, samples, and a DAW. SSL’s own Vocalstrip 2 and Drumstrip plug-ins provide powerful processing tools to enhance your drums and vocals with compressions, expansion, transient shaping, EQs, and more. Further offerings spanning MIxbus 10 and Ableton Live Lite make for a formidable virtual recording foundation, while Sonarworks, Output, Antares, Celemony, Loopcloud, Native Instruments, IK Multimedia, and Slate Digital stand to build the ultimate all-in-one mobile studio.
