Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII

Studio-Grade USB Audio Interface in a Bus-Powered Package

The Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII is a USB audio interface designed for musicians, producers, and podcasters who value studio-quality sound in a mobile device. Equipped with two SSL microphone preamps and state-of-the-art 32-bit / 192 kHz converters, this 2-in/2-out unit supports portable workflows via USB-C bus power for both home studios and live gigs.

Console Heritage and Modern Connectivity

What distinguishes this model is its Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement circuit. Drawing inspiration from the SSL 4000-series console, it delivers a tailored harmonic boost and enhanced high frequencies. With DC-coupled balanced outputs for modular synth control voltages and stereo loopback for effortless podcasting or streaming, it provides professional flexibility.

Next-Generation Conversion

Audio conversion relies on next-generation 32-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters, preserving all the subtleties of vocals, drum machines, or synthesizers. Latency remains under 1 ms at 48 kHz.

• Sample Rate: 192 kHz / 32-bit — ultra high-fidelity capture for every source
• Latency: < 1 ms at 48 kHz
• Streaming is pure USB-C with no S/PDIF, ADAT, or AES/EBU digital I/O on board.

Two SSL-Designed Preamps

Each of the two preamps offers a 64 dB gain range and -130.5 dBu EIN, suitable even for insensitive dynamic microphones. Features like 48 V phantom power, high-pass filters, and automatic Hi-Z input detection accommodate condenser mics, synths, and guitars with ease.

• Number of Preamps: 2
• Thanks to a mic preamp dynamic range of 116.5 dB A-weighted, quiet musical details are maintained without increasing unwanted noise.
• Phantom Power: +48 V, selectable per channel — supports any condenser microphone

Outputs, Headphones, and Bus Power

Balanced 1/4" TRS monitor outputs supply a 120 dB dynamic range for clear playback, while the two front-panel headphone outputs use NJM high-current amps with 119.5 dB dynamic range. No external power supply is needed thanks to USB 2.0 bus power.

• Headphone Outputs: 2 (same mix, NJM high-current amps)
• With a 120 dB monitor output dynamic range, critical mixing is handled with precision.
• The box contains a USB cable and manual, so recording can begin right away.
