SSL 12 USB Audio Interface
Building upon the success of the Solid State Logic SSL 2 and SSL 2+, the SSL 12 USB Audio Interface is a highly portable 12-in / 8-out, bus-powered interface that delivers professional studio-grade quality and legendary analog character in a compact form factor. With pristine 32-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, ADAT input, and intuitive console-style software mixing, the SSL 12 is ideal for content creators and producers.
Intuitive and Efficient
Each input channel is arranged vertically like a large-format mixing board, providing 5-segment LED metering, selectable 48V phantom power, mic and line-level operation, and a Legacy 4K switch that adds analog color enhancement inspired by the SSL 4000 Series consoles. Extremely low noise, exceptional EIN performance, and a wide gain range ensure optimal sound quality across recording scenarios.
