Features
  • Class-Leading Mic Amps: 4 beautifully detailed mic preamps to capture every nuance of every performance, with enough gain to cope with whatever microphone you're plugging in. Our two-stage design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete low-noise transistors in combination with ICs, resulting in exceptionally low-noise performance (-130 dBu EIN) and a superior gain range (62 dB).

  • Full +24 dBu Operating Levels :Unlike many USB-powered audio interfaces, the balanced line inputs and outputs on SSL 12 work all the way up to +24 dBu, allowing you to seamlessly integrate with your favourite analogue outboard gear and other line-level devices.

  • No Compromise Conversion and Monitoring : With 32-bit converter technology, impeccable left-right stereo tracking and balanced outputs that deliver greater than 120 dB of Dynamic Range, SSL 12 brings the kind of no compromise monitor section performance fit for a high-end studio straight to your desktop.

  • Easily set up multiple near-zero latency headphone mixes : SSL 12 provides an intuitive, virtual console-style mixer for dialling in headphone mixes. With independent pan, level and mute controls available for each send, the SSL 12 Mixer puts you fully in charge.

  • Configure HP A and HP B outputs the way you need them : Choose from 3 different modes of operation for the headphone outputs that best suit your headphones – Standard, High Sensitivity or High Impedance. Or, you can choose to re-purpose each HP output as a balanced/unbalanced mono output, if you need additional line level outputs from SSL 12.

  • Customise the 3 user-assignable front panel buttons: The 3 front panel switches come pre-assigned to CUT for the monitors, ALT speaker switching and TALKBACK mic engage/disengage but you can choose to change these buttons to any of the following functions to suit your needs - DIM, CUT, MONO SUM, ALT, INVERT PHASE LEFT, TALKBACK.

Why We Love This
  • The Legacy 4K button adds a nice analogue flavour — vocals & acoustic guitars sparkle more without sounding harsh.

  • Very clean preamps and almost no hiss — even when using high-gain mics I found the noise floor impressively low.

  • The dual headphone outputs & flexible routing with SSL 360 make tracking with multiple people super easy.

  • Bus-powered and solid build – great for mobile setups; wish it had pads for mic inputs though when handling super hot sources
