SSL 2+ mkII
Desktop USB Interface 2 Mic/Line In, 2 Stereo Out
Elevated performance to fuel your creativity
Designed for musicians, producers and engineers who demand the highest standards in sound quality, SSL 2/2+ MK II build upon the success of their predecessors with a series of significant audio performance improvements and carefully curated feature set additions. Whether you're recording at home or on the go, the SSL 2/2+ MK II provide everything you need help your productions stand out from the crowd.
- Further improvements to the already exceptional mic preamps: SSL 2/2+ MK II retain the class-leading low-noise (-130.5 dBu EIN) mic preamps but further refinements bolster the performance even more with improved gain range (64 dB compared to 62 dB 1st gen) , dynamic range (116.5 dB compared to 110.5 dB 1st gen) and maximum input level (+9.7 dB compared to 5.5 dB 1st gen).
- Next-Gen Conversion: The SSL 2/2+ MK II now boasts next-generation 32-bit / 192 kHz high-performance converters (as featured on SSL 12). Experience unparalleled audio fidelity and detail in your recordings.
- Significant leap in Balanced Output Performance – thanks to the new converters, the balanced outputs achieve a dynamic range of 120 dB (compared to 112 dB 1st gen) - true studio grade monitoring for your speakers.
- Re-engineered headphone outputs – now providing an incredible 119.5 dB dynamic range (111 dB 1st gen) - giving you full confidence for making informed decisions on headphones.
- Switchable High-Pass Filter: Both input channels are equipped with a switchable high-pass filter, allowing you to clean up low-end rumble at source.
- SSL 2+ MK II Balanced Outputs 3-4: Enjoy the flexibility of 4 balanced outputs on ¼" jacks, an upgrade from the previously unbalanced RCA outputs for outputs 3 & 4. This ensures better compatibility with professional equipment.
- Front Panel Headphone Outputs: For enhanced usability, the MK II interface headphones outputs are moved to the front panel. Say goodbye to the hassle of reaching behind your unit to plug in your headphones.
- SSL 2 MK II now has 2 x headphone outputs (shared mix) - making it easier to collaborate with others
- SSL 2+ MK II retains its 2 x independent headphone outputs (capable of sourcing different mixes) but also now includes the option to respect or not respect the Monitor Mix blend control when set to 3&4.
- Convenient DI Inputs: The Instrument (DI) inputs (with automatic DI input detect) are now conveniently located on the front of the unit, making it easier to plug in your instruments and start recording instantly.
- Improved Hardware and Usability: The MK II interfaces come with new hardware switches and accompanying LEDs (+48v, LINE, HPF, STEREO, 3&4), offering improved tactile feedback and making it easier to immediately recognize the state of each switch.
- Continued use of industry grade parts – Alps Pots, Neutrik connectors and High-Current NJM headphone amps continue to provide the kind of quality you’d expect from a large-format SSL console.
- Refreshed Aesthetics: A darker, refreshed look of the MK II interfaces help distinguish them from the 1st generation.
- Stereo Loopback: Stereo Loopback is now a standard feature (1st gen - previously available via firmware update), providing a powerful tool for streaming, podcasting, and online collaboration.
