Description

Essential Information About the SSL 12 Audio Interface

  • 4 ultra-quiet SSL mic preamps with Legacy 4K mode for an analog color inspired by the 4000 series consoles.
  • 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion and near-zero latency thanks to the SSL 360 software mixer for precise monitoring.
  • Extensive connectivity: ADAT, MIDI, dual headphone outputs, USB loopback, 4 DC-coupled line outputs for CV control.
  • Advanced monitoring section with speaker switching, built-in talkback microphone, and 3 assignable user buttons.

The SSL Signature in a Scalable Desktop Interface

Positioned above the SSL 2/2+, the SSL 12 carries forward the brand's high standards in preamplification and conversion while opening the door to ambitious setups. The ADAT optical input extends recording well beyond the 4 internal preamps, while the aluminum chassis, ALPS potentiometers, and Neutrik connectors emphasize a durable design built for both road and studio use.

Who Is It For? From Expert Home Studios to Mobile Recording

Producers, artistic directors, sound engineers, and content creators will find the SSL 12 a versatile USB audio hub. In multi-source recording, it delivers independent cue mixes with very low latency. In production/streaming, USB loopback, MIDI, and DC-coupled outputs streamline integration of modular synths, drum machines, and effects. In control rooms, speaker switching and talkback speed up listening decisions.

Key Features for a Modern Workflow

Preamps, Color, and Conversion

The four SSL preamps offer generous gain with controlled noise. Activate Legacy 4K to add a musical high-frequency "lift" and a touch of iconic analog saturation. The 32-bit / 192 kHz converters preserve dynamics and transients with studio-grade precision.

Monitoring and Control

Up to four independent headphone mixes, A/B speaker switching, and three assignable buttons simplify session management. The built-in talkback streamlines communication in the booth.

Hybrid Production and Expansion

ADAT adds up to 8 digital inputs, MIDI covers keyboards and controllers, and the DC-coupled outputs drive your CV ecosystem. The SSL 12 mixer within SSL 360 centralizes routing, loopback, and detailed headphone management.

Super quality Only negative point, it's long and tedious to install the plug-in bundle.... Otherwise excellent sound, in direct input the sound is very clean on the guitars, and the gain reserve is very comfortable.

Very good value for money for this small but very complete audio interface. I can finally manage quadraphonic broadcasting thanks to the free downloadable SSL 360° software.
