SSL 12 USB Audio Interface

SSL 12 USB Audio Interface Overview

Portable pro-grade 4-channel USB audio interface with Legacy 4k switching, ADAT expandability and four premium SSL-designed preamps.

Powerful and Portable

The SSL 12 USB audio interface condenses Studio Stage Logic’s legendary heritage and uncompromising sonic performance into a compact desktop device. SSL 12 can perform as both the centrepiece of your professional or home studio and, thanks to USB bus power, a powerful production hub for remote recording sessions.

Exceptional SSL Preamps

Studio Stage Logic equip their SSL 12 audio interface with four premium SSL-designed mic preamps and professional-quality converters for class-leading dynamic range. As you’d expect from a device created by SSL, these preamps offer exceptional low-noise and high-gain performance. Two onboard studio-grade headphone outputs ensure the SSL 12 can drive the most demanding headphones with ease.

Expand With ADAT

SSL 12 can be expanded with up to eight additional input channels via ADAT, giving you a maximum of twelve inputs. This is ideal if you want to record a live ensemble or intricately mic up a drum kit. The built-in talkback mic help will keep your recording sessions running smoothly. You can route it to headphone output A, headphone output B and line outputs 3 and 4 for extra flexibility when communicating with your artists.

Compact Size, Rackmount Features

SSL 12 pushes the boundaries of what can be expected from a compact audio interface, boasting advanced features such as ADAT connectivity, an onboard talkback microphone and a flexible cue mixer. The cue mixer allows you to make four individual low-latency performer mixes, making it easier to achieve the best performances from your artists. Alternative monitor switching and assignable front panel control functions are ready to make your mixing workflow seamless whilst USB Loopback, MIDI I/O connectivity and DC-coupled outputs for control of your CV-enabled synths and effects are excellent creative tools for production sessions.

Trademark SSL Quality

SSL have established a firm reputation for their cutting-edge hardware and processors, with over five decades of audio expertise. There’s a reason why their mixing desks are amongst the most highly regarded. This honed experience and dedication to quality is imbued in SSL 12’s design. Outfitted with classic Alps pots, premium Neutrik connectors and a sleek brushed aluminium front panel, the SSL 12 will endure many recording sessions for years to come.

In addition to the SSL 12 interface itself, you also receive the ever-expanding SSL Production Pack. This is a fantastic selection of essential plug-ins, samples, virtual instruments and DAWs to help you elevate your productions to the next level.

Legacy 4K Switching

Each of SSL 12’s four preamps boast Legacy 4K switching, an all-analogue effect first introduced in the best-selling SSL 2 and SSL 2+. Legacy 4K mode, based on SSL’s
legendary 4000 mixing console, enhances your input sources with the crisp high-frequencies and subtle, finely-tuned harmonic distortion that the SSL 4000-series console is known for. Whether you’re recording vocals or instruments, Legacy 4K mode will colour it with that sought-after SSL sound.
