For the past 40 years, our consoles and production tools have been the core of countless hit recordings and award - winning soundtracks. We understand how to make audio sound incredible and, more importantly, how creative teams like to collaborate. The SSL 2+ combines our top - notch technology with the right features and extended I/O capabilities, perfect for team - based audio creation. It offers a real analogue enhancement inspired by the SSL 4000 series (4K) console. Our history in analogue electronics and console design is full of innovation. The classic EQ '242' and '292' circuits, the powerful SSL G - Series Bus Compressor, and our SuperAnalogue mic amps and consoles all showcase our forward - moving approach to analogue. The Legacy 4K is a brand - new analogue enhancement effect, taking inspiration from the SSL 4000 series console. With a single click of the Legacy 4K button, you can bring two key features of the 4K sound to 'boring' or 'dull' input sources: a musical high - frequency EQ boost and a subtle harmonic distortion that adds more edge to your sound. Key features include a 2 - In/4 - Out USB - C audio interface, two SSL - designed microphone preamps, Legacy 4K analogue colour enhancement, two professional high - current headphone outputs, 24 - bit / 192 kHz AD/DA AKM converters, an easy - to - use monitor mix control, balanced monitor outputs, additional unbalanced RCA outputs for DJ mixers, MIDI I/O, an SSL Production Pack software bundle, and it's a USB 2.0 bus - powered audio interface for Mac/PC. Technical specs: Mac OS 10.11 and above (Class - Compliant, Plug - and - play), Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (install included ASIO/WDM driver), USB 2.0 Type C Connector (comes with Type C to C and Type C to A), mic preamps with - 130.5 dBu EIN and 62 dB gain range, max instrument input level of +15 dBu, max line input level of +24 dBu, monitor outputs with 112 dB dynamic range and max output level of + 12.5 dBu, headphone outputs with 111 dB dynamic range and max output of +10 dBu, and sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz.
Using the SSL 2+ is a breeze. First, connect it to your Mac or PC via the USB 2.0 Type C connector. If you're using a Mac with OS 10.11 or above, it's class - compliant and plug - and - play. For Windows 8.1 or 10, just install the included ASIO/WDM driver. Connect your microphones to the two SSL - designed microphone preamps and adjust the gain as needed. You can use the Legacy 4K button when your input sound seems dull to add a high - frequency boost and a bit of harmonic distortion. Use the monitor mix control to adjust the sound you hear. You can also connect headphones to the two headphone outputs and create a second independent mix. For DJ mixers, use the unbalanced RCA outputs. When it comes to maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on it, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. And always make sure to properly shut down your computer before disconnecting the audio interface.
