Building upon the success of the Solid State Logic SSL 2 and SSL 2+, the SSL 12 USB Audio Interface is a highly portable 12-in / 8-out, bus-powered interface that delivers all of the professional, studio-grade quality and legendary analog character one would expect from SSL in a compact form factor, ideal for content creators and producers on a tight budget. With pristine 32-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, you will capture every detail and nuance of your recorded sounds, while ADAT input and intuitive console-style software mixing allows the SSL 12 to be both a studio centerpiece and a portable production hub all at once. Comprehensive I/O in a Small Desktop Footprint Despite it's compact size, the SSL 12 is loaded with a huge amount of professional studio features normally reserved for high-end rackmount interfaces. For tracking, the ADAT connectivity together with onboard talkback mic and an incredibly powerful cue mixer (that allows you to create up to 4 independent near-zero-latency performer mixes) handle the most demanding recording sessions. For mixing, alternative monitor switching and assignable front-panel control-room functions put everything you need at your fingertips. For production, USB Loopback, MIDI I/O, and DC-coupled outputs for CV control of synths and FX equip you with a serious toolkit to keep the creativity flowing.
