The new Solid State Logic SSL 2 is more than just an audio interface, it is the hub of your new Solid State Logicstudio. The best microphone preamps, Legacy 4K analog enhancement, studio-quality monitoring and the incredible SSL Production Pack software bundle.

SSL has spent over four decades designing state-of-the-art mixing consoles and processing tools for the best recording studios in the world.

The company has a history of innovation in analog electronics and console design. Whether it is the sound of our classic '242' and '292' EQ circuits, the punch of the legendary SSL G-Series bus compressor, or the incredible bandwidth and sonic precision of our innovative SuperAnalogue-designed mic amps and consoles, we are always pushing analog forward.

With SSL 2, we offer two class-leading input stages so you can capture the best "image" of your microphone or instrument. However, sometimes the raw sound of a microphone can sound a little "uninspiring" or lifeless and you need something to bring it to life. This is where the Legacy 4K button comes into play.

Legacy 4K is an all-new analog enhancement effect, inspired by the character of an SSL 4000 series console (often referred to as '4K'). With the Legacy 4K button, we have distilled two essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single circuit, which you can engage when you need to bring "boring" or "dull" sound input sources to life.

We have designed two class-leading and beautifully detailed microphone preamps to capture every nuance of every performance, with enough gain to handle any microphone you connect.

Many USB-powered audio interfaces use standard IC circuits in their microphone amp designs. We prefer to use a different approach. Our two-stage design uses a mix of specially selected low-noise discrete transistors in combination with integrated circuits. This allows us to design microphone preamps with exceptional noise performance and superior gain range.

The fact that you work in your home studio or on the road does not mean you have to compromise on the quality of your audio interface. With SSL 2, we have opted to use the same industrial-quality parts found in our large consoles and I/O products, offering the same kind of quality expected from a major studio equipped with SSL, in your personal workspace.
