SSL Heritage

There are very few companies in the history of music and audio production that have been more influential, helped create more hit records and developed more technology that changed the production game than Solid State Logic. With the SSL 2 MKII, you’re not just getting an audio interface; you’re investing in a piece of SSL’s knowledge, heritage, and complete understanding of what matters in music production.

Class-Leading Mic Amps 

The SSL 2 MKII is equipped with two high-performance SSL-design microphone preamps delivering a massive 64 dB gain range, in conjunction with class-leading 116.5 dB dynamic range and -130.5 dBu EIN. The mic pre's can also operate in LINE mode for connecting synths or INSTRUMENT mode for connecting guitars/basses.

Professional-Grade Outputs

Located on the rear of the SSL 2 MKII are balanced Left/Right outputs for connecting your studio monitors. With professional-grade monitor outputs, the SSL 2 MKII delivers a 120 dB dynamic range, allowing you to hear every detail in your productions—from the most subtle riff to the deepest bassline. All outputs are DC-coupled, enabling you to send CV (control voltages) to synthesisers.

Dual Headphone Outputs

The SSL 2 MKII features dual headphone outputs conveniently located on the front panel. These re-engineered outputs (featuring high-current NJM headphone amps) are capable of driving any type of headphones, from small in-ear monitors to large-diaphragm models. Now boasting a jaw-dropping 119.5 dB dynamic range (MK I previously 111 dB), you have all the performance and clarity needed for accurate monitoring in any environment.

Ins and Outs

Front-access jack sockets provide convenient access to 2 instrument DI inputs and 2 headphone outputs.

On the rear, SSL 2 MKII provides Neutrik XLR Combo sockets for Mic/Line inputs, two balanced outputs and the USB connector.

The MKII range of interfaces feature updated switches on the front panel with status LEDs so you know exactly how your device is configured when recording.
