Solid State Logic SSL 2 USB Audio Interface, 2-in/2-out, with 2 Mic/Line/Instrum

  

SSL 2 USB 2.0 Audio Interface. Solid State Logic SSL 2 USB Audio Interface, 2-in/2-out, with 2 Mic/Line/Instrument Preamps, 4K Legacy Mode. Solid State Logic SSL2 Audio Interface For over four decades, SSL have designed and built mixing consoles and rackmount hardware which reside in some of the planet's finest studios, often with price tags that venture far into the six-figure realm.

SSL 2 and it's big brother, SSL 2+ could easily be considered as the centre of a Solid State Logic studio, rather than just as Audio interfaces. They feature Mic Pre's that bring a the SSL "magic" to small desktop interfaces for the first time, along with bespoke technoligies such as Legacy 4K analogue enhancement, as well as pro level monitoring control and a wealth of bundled software with the incredible SSL Production Pack. Legacy 4K - Real Analogue Enhancement Inspired by SSL 4000 Series SSL have always innovated in their console and analogue electronics designs.

From the tone of EQ'242' and'292' EQ circuits, an SSL G-Series Bus Compressor or "Super Analogue" mic pre's and consoles, they always strive to innovate their analogue designs. With SSL 2+, they offer two class-leading input stages, However, sometimes the raw sound of a microphone can sound a little'uninspiring' or lifeless and you need something to bring it to life.

This is where the Legacy 4K button comes in. Legacy 4K is an all-new analogue enhancement effect, inspired by the character of an SSL 4000 series console (often referred to as'4K'). With the Legacy 4K button, They've distilled 2 essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single-circuit, which you can engage when you need to breath some life into'boring' or'dull' sounding input sources. 1st characteristic: High-Frequency EQ boost - The first thing engaging the Legacy 4K button will do is introduce a'forward', yet musical high-frequency EQ boost, something which 4000-series EQs are known and loved for. 2nd characteristic: Subtle-Harmonic Distortion - 4K consoles are synonymous with imparting a certain'mojo' to signals passing through them.

This mojo comes through multiple stages of harmonic distortion from compressor VCAs, VCA Faders and other crucial areas like the transistor mix amps. Using modern components, we've created a circuit that injects a controlled amount of finely-tuned, sweet- sounding harmonic distortion into the signal path, helping to give your sound more edge! Class-Leading Mic Preamps The Art: They have designed 2 class-leading, beautifully detailed mic preamps to capture every nuance of every performance, with enough gain to cope with whatever microphone you're plugging in. The Tech: Many USB-powered audio interfaces use standard IC circuits in their mic amp designs. They prefer to use a different approach.

SSL's 2-stage design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete low-noise transistors in combination with ICs. This enables them to design mic preamps with exceptional noise performance and a superior gain range.

Best Noise Performance: -130.5 dB EIN. Huge Gain Range: 62 dB Studio Quality, Front to Back Just because you're working out of your home studio or on the road, doesn't mean you should compromise on the quality of your audio interface. SSL 2 uses the same industry-grade parts as found in their larger consoles and I/O products, delivering the same kind of quality you'd expect from a large SSL-equipped studio, into your personal workspace.
