Building upon the success of the company’s SSL 2 and SSL 2+, Solid State Logic has announced the SSL 12, a 12-in/8-out USB bus-powered audio interface capable of being a studio centerpiece and a portable production hub to take on the road. Compact and competitively priced, this new desktop interface puts legendary SSL analog character, pristine conversion, ADAT input, and an intuitive console-style software mixer within reach for content creators, producers, and engineers on a tight budget.

Class-Leading Performance

  • The SSL 12 boasts four SSL-designed mic preamps that offer uncompromising low noise (-130.5 dBu EIN) and a huge 62 dB high-gain performance.

  • Class-leading 192 kHz/32-bit AD/DA converters with >120 dB of dynamic range and a maximum operating level of +24 dB accurately capture all the details of your performance.

  • Per-channel Legacy 4K switches add analog color enhancement for any input source, inspired by the classic 4000-Series console used on countless hit records.

  • Each input channel—arranged vertically like a large-format mixing board—also provides 5-segment LED metering and selectable 48V phantom power.

Big Studio Features, Small Desktop Footprint

  • The SSL 12 is loaded with an extraordinary amount of professional studio features normally reserved for high-end rackmount interfaces.

  • For tracking, the ADAT connectivity, together with the on-board talkback mic and an incredibly powerful cue mixer (that allows you to create up to 4 independent near-zero latency performer mixes) will 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 DIN-5pin I/O, and DC-coupled outputs for CV control of synths and FX provide you with a powerful toolkit to keep the creativity flowing.

  • Featuring the familiar Alps pots, Neutrik connectors, and an attractive brushed-aluminum front panel, SSL 12 is built to last whether you’re using it in the studio or on location.

New SSL 12 Software Mixer

The cross-platform Mac and Windows SSL 360° application hosts the powerful, yet intuitive console-style SSL 12 Mixer, where you can configure and control every aspect of SSL 12:

  • Easily set up multiple near-zero latency headphone mixes

  • Configure Headphone A and Headphone B outputs for different headphone mixes or re-purpose as additional line-level outputs

  • Customize the 3 user-assignable front panel buttons

  • Choose your Loopback source

  • Save/Load SSL 12 Mixer templates
