General

Looking at the classic 242 and 292 EQs as well as the legendary G-Series bus compressor, Solid State Logic has a rich history when it comes to innovative analogue designs. To write the next chapter, they now present the SSL 2+ USB Audio Interface. As a brilliantly affordable alternative to a fully-fledged SSL console or channel strip, the SSL 2+ features a special function that emulates the sound of the Legacy 4K to give you the warm analogue edge so many mixing engineers and audio purists covet. Next to subtle harmonic distortion, pressing the 4K button injects your sound with a high-frequency boost to give it a welcome bit of upthrust.

USB-Powered & Professional Studio-Grade Quality

The SSL 2+ is loaded with two super-clean microphone preamps that capture every sonic nuance and leave ample headroom. This, combined with discrete low-noise transistors and an integrated circuit means you're free to plug in any microphone without having to worry about gain. Since the SSL 2+ is also USB-powered, it can be plugged into your laptop to work anywhere without losing out on audio quality thanks to the first-rate components used to put this handy interface together. That includes the Neutrik XLR sockets, jack inputs and Alps potentiometers.

Complete Production Software Pack

The Solid State Logic SSL 2+ comes complete with a fully-accommodating software pack, including SSL Native Vocalstrip 2, Drumstrip plug-ins and a trial version of the entire suite, meaning all other plug-ins can be used freely for a period of six months so you can give your productions all of the professional touches they deserve. In addition, a copy of Native Instruments Hybrid Keys and Komplete Start has been thrown in, giving you access to a sample library with over 2,000 sounds including drums and percussion, bass, acoustic instruments, synths, pads, atmospheric effects and more. The list goes on, because SSL have even included Avid Pro Tools | First with 23 plug-ins, Ableton Live Lite, and 1.5 gigabytes of Loopcloud samples. We could be wrong, but that's probably the most value for money any audio interface can get you.

Tips or comments about this product

  • Please note: Registering your SSL 2+ audio interface via the Solid State Logic website grants you the SSL Production Pack which includes roughly £500 worth of music production software (see specifications).
  • Please note: SSL have released a firmware update in March 2023 which adds a loopback function to the interface. This function is ideal for live-streaming and more, and can be downloaded from Solid State Logic's website.

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

Wat een top apparaat! Veel sterker dan mijn vorige geluidskaart en een zeer voordelige prijs voor de kwaliteit die je krijgt.

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

Mooie en goede audio interface. De USB kabels die zijn meegeleverd zijn wel erg kort, heb eentje die langer is moeten kopen.

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

Voor in deze prijsklasse is er eigenlijk geen vergelijkbare audio-interface die dezelfde kwaliteit biedt. Ik had hiervoor een Focusrite en hoewel die prima hun werk doen merk ik toch dat ik nu een beetje baal dat ik deze niet meteen heb aangeschaft voor die paar euros meer.

De 4K legacy is een leuke add-on die voor mij persoonlijk niet zo heel veel toevoegt (vind het zelf iets te gekleurd en niet 100 procent klinken als de SSL 4000) maar mocht je die typische sound een beetje willen evenaren als hobbyist dan zit je hier goed.

Erg blij met MIDI I/O die toch vaak bij andere interfaces in deze prijsklasse ontbreekt. Dat was de primaire reden dat ik bij deze uit kwam.

Installeren was snel en gemakkelijk (Win 10 met FL Studio en Reaper als DAW's) en duurde letterlijk 5 min. Gecombineerd met de duidelijke layout (knoppen, etc.) is deze Audio Interface zeer gebruikersvriendelijk en geschikt voor de beginner.

Positief verrast over de bouwkwaliteit; stevig apparaat en niet te groot of te klein voor mij.

En als klap op de vuurpijl krijg je er ook nog wat leuke extra's bij.

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

In 1 woord fantastisch! Ik heb de SSL2+ gekocht als vervanger van de Focusrite Solo. De SSL is zeer gebruiksvriendelijk, met alle aansluitingen aan de achterkant (geen kabels over je desk) en alle knoppen bovenop. De preamps klinken geweldig, en de headphone output is ook zeer goed. Mijn home studio is compleet met de SSL als center piece

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

It’s an amazing interface in top quality! Its perfect for a home studio. You get two headphone outputs that you can split into two different headphone mixes at the same time, perfect for recording at home! And with separate phantom power switches you can have more options on your two inputs, like a dynamic mic and a condenser mic at the same time! And the 4K legacy switch gives you a nice crisp added to your i put signal that reminds you of the 4000 console, perfect for guitar and vocals! And last but not least, the knobs and solid and feels amazing, sometimes I just want to change some gain or volume just because they are so great! I have no regrets from this interface and its the best part of my entire studio!

Solid State Logic SSL 2+ Audio Interface

Erg fijne audio interface. De layout is top (je hebt toegang to alle belangrijke knoppen), in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld de Focusrite Scarlett heeft deze interface alle knoppen aan de bovenkant wat het makkelijker maakt in gebruik. Alle draaiknoppen zijn van zeer goede kwaliteit en hebben de looks van de typische SSL consoles. De I/O op de interface is zeer degelijk. Ook zitten er MIDI poorten op wat je niet vaak ziet in deze prijsklasse. De Mic Pre's zijn van zeer hoge kwaliteit en ik betwijfel of je in deze klasse betere gaat vinden, de 4K feature is een leuke toevoeging op bepaalde geluidsopnames. De koptelefoon versterker erin is heel erg goed: ik gebruik zelf een Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 ohms en die staat al behoorlijk hard als je het volume op 30% hebt staan! Almetal een zeer goede audio interface, voor bijna alle bedroom/beginnende(/gevorderede) producers is dit genoeg!
