Solid State Logic SSL12
Solid State Logic SSL 12 – high-end USB audio interface with 12-in/8-out configuration, four mic preamps (62 dB gain), 4K switch for analog coloration, Hi-Z and line inputs, ADAT expansion, dual headphone outs, built-in talkback mic, 32-bit/192 kHz conversion, MIDI I/O, and the powerful SSL Production Pack – a professional recording hub for modern studios.
The SSL 12 brings flagship studio technology to a compact desktop format. It features four premium mic preamps with 62 dB of gain and phantom power, each equipped with the iconic “4K” switch inspired by SSL’s 4000 series consoles, adding subtle harmonic richness to your recordings. Two front-panel Hi-Z inputs replace the corresponding Mic/Line channels for direct instrument recording without DI boxes.
On the back, an 8-channel ADAT input expands your I/O count, while dual independently controlled headphone outputs double as additional line outs. The interface also includes a built-in talkback mic, MIDI I/O, five-segment LED meters per input, and three programmable function buttons (default: CUT, ALT, DIM). With high-end components like Neutrik connectors and Alps potentiometers, and conversion up to 32-bit/192 kHz, the SSL 12 ensures pristine audio and professional flexibility. The bundled SSL Production Pack adds essential software tools so you can start producing right away.
