SSL 12

12-in/8-out

 

A new class of audio interface

The Solid State Logic 12 is a USB-powered audio interface that brings studio-quality audio to your computer with 12 inputs and 8 outputs, making it easy to unleash your creativity with minimal setup.

Building on the success of the SSL 2 and SSL 2+, the SSL 12 offers enhanced I/O capabilities, superior performance, and greater versatility.

It integrates smoothly with SSL 360° software, known as Your SSL Control Room, allowing you to customize monitor controls, create multiple independent headphone mixes, select Loopback sources, and personalize the functionality of its three front-panel buttons.

This combination delivers a professional-grade experience and streamlined workflow in a compact, portable desktop interface.

 

Class-Leading Mic Amps

Experience the full depth of every performance with 4 precisely engineered mic preamps that capture every nuance with exceptional clarity.

Our advanced two-stage design, featuring carefully chosen discrete low-noise transistors alongside ICs, ensures unmatched performance. With an ultra-low noise level of -130 dBu EIN and a broad gain range up to 62 dB, it’s built to accommodate any microphone and deliver outstanding results.

Full +24 dBu Operating Levels

In contrast to most USB-powered audio interfaces, the SSL 12 features balanced line inputs and outputs that support levels up to +24 dBu.

Furthermore This capability ensures seamless integration with your preferred analogue outboard gear and other line-level devices.

No Compromise Conversion and Monitoring

Featuring advanced 32-bit converter technology, impeccable left-right stereo tracking, and balanced outputs delivering over 120 dB of dynamic range, the SSL 12 brings uncompromising monitor section performance typically found in high-end studios directly to your desktop.

Big studio features, small desktop footprint

Everything you need and more, from your portable studio centrepiece

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

Record

For tracking, the ADAT connectivity, together with the on-board talkback mic and an incredibly powerful software cue mixer (that allows you to create up to 4 independent near-zero latency performer mixes) will handle the most demanding of recording sessions.

Mix

For mixing, alternative monitor switching and assignable front panel control room functions puts everything you need at your fingertips.

Produce

In production, features like USB Loopback, MIDI I/O, and DC-coupled outputs for CV control of synthesizers provide a robust toolkit to fuel creativity.

Additionally, the SSL Production Pack, continuously updated with essential virtual instruments, plug-ins, samples, and DAWs, enhances your productions with vibrant versatility.
