Solid State Logic are taking their studio expertise and squeezing it down into a size made for everyone and anyone.

If you know Solid State Logic, you probably know the name from one of their huge mixing consoles designed to be in a professional studio. Sure, you could take them home but it would have to replace the sofa. Well no more, as SSL’s renowned audio consoles are getting a cheaper, compact offering.

SSL have announced the SSL 2 and SSL 2+ USB audio interfaces. They both offer 2 inputs for recording instruments and mixing using SSL’s renowned studio quality technology at a size that can be used easily in the home studio or for bedroom producers.

Both interfaces come with ‘class-leading’ mic preamps, legacy 4K analogue enhancement, studio quality monitoring. The main difference between the SSL 2 and the SSL 2+ is that the + model comes with 2 extra outputs.

They come bundled with Solid State Logic’s very own software bundle, which includes: SSL Native Vocalstrip 2 + Drumstrip plugins, Avid Pro Tools + 23 plugins, Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Hybrid Keys + Komplete Start, and 1.5GB of quality samples and loops from Loopcloud.

Affordable, small audio interfaces for home recording are widely available from some of the most iconic names in audio manufacturing. Solid State Logic’s entries are a little more expensive than many on the market but considering their iconic status and compared to their expensive studio desks it’s great value for money.
