For more than 50 years, Solid State Logic has remained at the forefront of studio and recording excellence. In the process, the company has established a legacy of large-format consoles and outboard gear that has been honed, refined, and expanded throughout the decades to include industry-leading plug-ins, interfaces, and more. The SSL 2 MKII 2x2 USB-C audio interface distills this engineering prowess into a next-gen, mobility-minded menagerie of state-of-the-art recording possibilities.

From its 32-bit/192kHz converters and immaculately balanced monitor outputs to its DC-coupled outputs and audio-detect instrument DI inputs, the SSL 2 MKII is primed to perform well beyond the scope of interfaces in its class. Plus, the lauded Legacy 4K mode returns, letting you capture the magic of SSL’s famed 4000-series console, imbuing your sound with distinctive analog character, all from a single push of a button.

Legacy 4K: instant analog magic

SSL built its reputation on its celebrated large-format consoles, through which countless hit records and Grammy-award-winning albums have flowed. In particular, the SSL 4000 series console has inspired generations of musicians, producers, and engineers with its undeniable analog character. The SSL 2 MKII brings that signature 4000 series sound into your project studio with its Legacy 4K Analog Enhancement Circuit, which, with the push of a button, imparts the preamps with two essential characteristics of the 4000 series signal chain. The first thing you’ll hear is a musical, high-frequency EQ boost that will push your vocal or instrument forward in the soundfield for a deeper, more dimensional sonic profile. Then, you’ll notice a subtle addition of harmonic distortion that sweetens the sound and adds personality to the signal. For small format recording interfaces, there is nothing quite like the Legacy 4K button.
