Ready for recording? SSL2 or SSL2+ is much more than an audio interface or USB sound card. It is the powerhouse of your new Solid State Logic studio.
SSL has been designing cutting-edge mixers and sound processors for the best sound studios in the world for more than four decades. Now you get to share in this colossal knowledge of good sound in your own personal studio. With SSL2/SSL2+, you get two first-class input stages, so you get the cleanest and clearest sound image from your microphone or instrument. Sometimes the raw sound from a microphone can sound a little tame – so that’s why you get SSL’s new Legacy 4K button.
Legacy 4K is a new analog effect inspired by the classic SSL4000 Series desks often called “4K”.
The effect brings together two essential sound colorings, which are typical of the famous “SSL sound”: a musical high-frequency EQ boost combined with a very discreet but good-sounding harmonic distortion, which together can breathe life and good sound into an otherwise dull and sad input signal. Although SSL2/SSL2+ is at the low end of the price range, there are no compromises in components and design. The units are i.a. equipped with Neutrik connectors, Alps potentiometers and AKM AD/DA converters known from SSL’s Alpha-Link products.
Here’s everything you can expect from a high-end SSL product boiled down for your own personal sound studio. Also included in the package is SSL Production Pack software , where you get: – 2 original SSL plug-ins, Vocalstrip 2 and Drumstrip, so you get the fastest way to good-sounding vocal and drum sounds, – Lite versions of two leading Digital Audio Workstations: Pro Tools First and Ableton Live Lite – Native Instruments Komplete Start with over 2000 instruments and sounds and HybridKeys with piano and synth sounds etc. – 1.5 GB of samples and loops from Loopcloud
