Sound quality is excellent, as you would expect from a company like Solid State Logic. The legacy 4k mode is wonderful for adding a bit of "air" to your recordings as it adds a very musical HF boost which you will love. Worth noting that this a pre-recording option only not post, so you can't reverse or remove it if you record with it enabled. The SSL2+ (Plus) model offers additional Unbalanced RCA outputs, an extra Headphone Output and MIDI I/O which turns it into a versatile, all-in-one studio hub.For anyone who require an affordableinterface to cover all bases in a fluid Production/DJ setup, the SSL2+ is an inspired choice.

SSL-designed Analogue Simplicity In terms of sound quality, I can't fault the 2+. Many bus-powered interfaces are afflicted with weedy headphone amps, but I had no problem getting a decent level out of these; and although the maximum output level of +12.5dBu at the monitor outs and +6.5dBu on the unbalanced outputs wouldn't be ideal in a professional studio context, it's fine for the direct connection of active monitors in a home studio.

Following their foray into more affordable, accessible studio gear, the SSL 2 now puts the sound of vintage Solid State Logic studio tools into apowerful desktop 2-channelUSB Audio Interface. Additionally, SSL SuperAnalogue preamps have traditionally had anywhere from 12 to 26 dB gain even at their lowest position.

MIDI I/O is also very nice to have.

The best thing about this interface for everyday use outside of instruments and music is the fact that it's actually registers as an input device in Windows 10, meaning that you can plug in a microphone, turn on phantom power and use it in any communication app like Discord or Zoom, while with the 2i2 I had to run Reaper and route the signal using AsioLink Pro. The buttons for phantom power, line, and HI-Z feel like they are of worse quality than the rest of the interface. Up until this point I have not had any problems with them but my friend told me that some of them fell off. There is space for improvement.Converting analogue audio to a digital format is pretty much essential these days. Virtually all editing, recording, mixing and distribution of audio is done on digital systems. This is why we have audio interfaces - to pipe an analogue signal straight into a digital system. Not all converters are the same. As with preamps, some converters perform better than others. So when we say SSL 2 and SSL 2+ use the same AKM AD/DA Converters found in the SSL Alpha Link I/O products, you can guarantee that you’re getting the same performance as SSL’s top-line converters (at a fraction of the price!) At maximum settings, you can record at an impressive 24bit / 192kHz - that’s some crazy high resolution sound! Realistically, not everyone’s going to need to use these specs, as typically people use somewhere between 44.1-96kHz, but at least you know SSL have you covered. Without prejudice to any other rights, Solid State Logic may terminate this EULA if You fail to comply with any of the terms of this EULA. In such an event, all rights granted to You under this EULA shall cease, You must cease all activities authorised by this EULA and You must destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component parts within your control. I use SM7B directly to the SSL for my wife’s vocals, and several top-notch condenser mics for the acoustic instruments. Focals for monitors, decent acoustic treatment in the room. Otherwise, the input configurations, build and specs are identical, with two combi mic/line inputs with Hi-Z (impedance) options for switching between guitar and bass signals or those from synths or drum machines. A +48v option also allows the connection of both condenser and dynamic mics. Below these switch options are peak level meters, Gain dials and those 4k buttons that we’ll come to. not to translate, merge, adapt, vary or modify the Software or Documentation, assign the benefit or burden of this Licence in whole or in part, or to allow the Software to become the subject of a charge, lien or encumbrance;
